The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have always been someone to get my work done quicker than most. When in public school, this meant that I would finish an assignment, and then pull out my book and read until the bell rang. I didn't mind it, but enrolling in LVS allowed me to go at my own pace so that I could get things done as fast or as slow as I needed. The teachers were always very helpful and encouraging, and the lessons were engaging and easy to understand. I recommend this school to anyone who can handle working primarily on their own.

It is a nice online schooling, teachers are great to work with and helpful. I like how some of my classes are allowing us to do hands on activities or virtual labs, it makes learning more enjoyable.

LVS is a great environment for students to prosper and get the education that fits their needs. Teachers are incredibly supportive and the coursework is challenging, yet doable. Everyone is welcome at LVS and it doesn't feel like a school - it feels like a family.
