I have been in FLVS full time since 6th grade (currently freshman year), and "meh" just about sums up my experience. First and foremost, my teachers have been pretty friendly and helpful. They usually respond fairly quickly. The required courses themselves are alright, but some of the lessons have way too much information, which is very frustrating. Some of them should be broken down into more than one lesson. On the other hand, elective classes are a joke, especially P.E. courses, such as HOPE. Half the time, they tell me things I already know. The assignments for these elective courses are ridiculous. I have had several instances where I am inside writing a full essay for a P.E. course, when I actually want to be outside working out. As far as the flexible schedule claims of this school, I have found them to be half true. You can work any hour of the day, but everything still has a due date at the end of the week. Chances are, you'll still have to work a fixed schedule. Travel abilities as a result of this school are tremendous though. Lastly, tech support is not great. They are usually slow, and sometimes not very helpful. In the end, the only reason I chose to continue with FLVS full time is that my local high school is poorly rated. FLVS is no better or worse than a good "brick and mortar" school. If I had the opportunity to attend a normal high school, I would. After all is said and done, FLVS has done right by me, and I would recommend them only if you need an alternative to normal school.
