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.

WaVA has been amazing for our neurodiverse student. Teachers are welcoming and very supportive. Curriculum is diverse and includes a wide variety of real-life, modern topics that allow for discussion and open minded-ness. The technology is modern and easy to use. I am able to participate in my child's education while still giving them autonomy.

I strongly recommend this school. I time and time again recommend WAVA as well as K12. I have had a wonderful experience by far. I will have two students this fall in the school. Can't wait to grow my kids knowledge with wava!

I decided to pull my boys from the regular brick and mortar school because the teacher to student ratio was 1 to 30. This was very unacceptable for my husband a...

We are loving our first year of home schooling. The materials provided by K-12 are excellent and their online school is so easy to navigate! Wish I would have started this in kindergarten. After talking to some of my teacher friends, my daughter is learning so much more than she would have been lear...
