GreatSchools Rating
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 really loved the teachers- you learn so much and they pour lots and lots of time into their students- even offering one on one time with those who may be struggling.

How flexible they are about certain things. Like you don't have to go to the class connects. Also they worked with me to set up a plan for college. like right now I am taking college classes and getting dual credit for them.

I love that Lawrence Virtual School is independent but also makes sure your staying on tasks and understanding the material well. I joined the school in December of 2016 and ever since then my grades have gone from D's and F's to A's and a couple of B's. Lawrence Virtual School has made me realize that i am actually smart and that i need to push myself farther to get where i want to go. I want to continue my path in education online and in psychology. I hope that I will be able continue getting good grades while i'm in college.
