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.

RVA gives us the flexibility I need to learn at my level and when I want. This helps my family travel during the school year and me to work during the school day. The teachers are amazing and supportive, and know what to do in a virtual setting as many have been doing this for years.

This Academy is the BEST. It is sometimes hard to say "best" when not compared to any other Academy we have been part of so far in our lives but I will say as a Mom/Mentor it was the best experience all around. Between the teachers, flexible scheduling, curriculum, and clubs offered it was all truly...
