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 have loved my time at MGLVA it is by far better than any schools I've been to previously. It has great accommodations to any and all situations the students have. The teachers I have met at MGLVA are some of the most funny people I've ever met SHOUT-OUT to the algebra 2 teacher she is amazing!!! Though I went from a barely passing/not passing classes to getting A-B average grades. From the time I joined MGLVA 1 year ago I've improved my grade from a 1.78 to a 2.23. I have loved my time at MGLVA and to anyone who is looking for a school to attend but doesn't know if online is the way to go MGLVA is the best way to know if it's for you. I love MGLVA

First, I'll say my son has an extensive IEP. We moved, so our K12 school option changed. My complaint is not with K12 but with this particular school. The number of classes daily was 5 hours or more and the coursework was challenging compared to our experience with a brick-and-mortar school (they st...

This school is a joke! Attendance policy is not enforced. They allow our son (that is 18 and chose to leave home, yet I am still his learning coach) to not attend classes at all and is allowed to turn in assignments late consistently. After many times of expressing our concerns to the school about h...
