FLVS Reviews

Honestly im used to a public school flvs flex says we can work at our own pace but forces us to complete 3-4 assigments a week and if we don't they call our parents etc and omg the dbas i hateeeee them i honestly wish i went to regular school this is the biggest mistake i ever madeee only thing good is i don't have to take fsa

its just a really bad website I don't have to repeat what all the others one stars say but its true its not good wouldn't recommended it.

it sucks its boring the work at your own pace thing is a lie. Its hard to work with and the teachers go on vacation like every other week and even when you cal
l them they don't really answer your questions.

It was decent at best. The teachers are nice, but it causes too much stress and confusion. I would not recommend, personally.

As a student, I enjoyed my experience with flvs. It was stressful and hard at first, like anything new, but thanks to my parents and teachers I learned to suck it up and do it. I never did all my subjects online, but throughout a couple years I took reading, life management, and drivers ed. (I recommend the drivers ed course, it's super easy and saves you from the long drug and alcohol test!) After dual enrolling for three years though, the math class I'm taking now is a piece of cake. Virtual school is so flexible, if you have a busy week and don't complete the suggested three assignments, it's not the end of the world. Worst case scenario the teacher calls and checks on you. I defiantly would recommend flvs for a student who can work well on their own.

If your doing your flvs course in school and your doing Creative Photography, then there really isnt anything to do in school, and then you have to get it done with all your normal school homework at home, and its a ton of pressure and stress to get it all done, especially if your teacher is always too busy to help you (my teacher is fine with this but i know some people who's teachers never help them with anything)

yes I love having teachers that want to much and dont answer questions after 5 days of waiting

The website is quite bad, you don't really get to work at your own pace, and the courses are poorly designed.

HATE IT
This is only my first year enrolled with FLVS and I can already see some major flaws. The website is not great at letting you learn from your mistakes. If you get a multiple choice question wrong all the website will do is tell you that you are wrong. They really should allow you to see what you did by showing you the correct answer and how to get it. They should also try to make the learning a little interesting. Another flaw with the website is that on the tests the hardest question is always the heaviest weighted and if you miss it your score will drop by a significant margin. My teacher, Devan Edgerton has been amazing so far and that is one of the only positives.

Very impressed with the organization of the school, especially with so many student this year. My daughters 4th grade teacher Mrs Hayner is so kind and she makes the live classes fun for my daughter. The work is challenging but we like that she s not sitting in front of a screen all day every day.

Wait this is a school system? Because it is almost as disorganized as a hoarder

Mrs. Amy Hirsch-Brown is an awesome teacher. My son, who has Asperbergers, took her online parenting class and she not only taught him the material for the class but helped him and myself in other important ways. She was always sweet and helpful when I had a question or concern. What she taught my son though was just downright amazing. He is deathly afraid to talk to people on the phone he does not know. She made him feel so comfortable he learned to calm down about it. Part of Asperbergers is being unable to express or identify emotions. Through working with her he actually showed nervousness which he has never done and was able to name what he was feeling. After he finished the exam and saw his final grade I saw my son run around the house yelling his grade. I saw happiness expressed by my son and again he was able to name the feeling when he said Mom I am SO happy!!! Mrs. Hitch-brown is an amazing teacher and I can never thank her enough for what she has done for my son and myself. I hope she stays with FLVS for many years to come.

no help the teachers don t respond until days later after asking for help, when asking for help some teachers ignore your calls or text. The principal dosent help either when complained to about the teachers ignorance or about no help I get a simple email with 4 words with no sign of help. This is the worst online school ever I don t recommend this at all 0/10 this is a waste of time for anyone trying to attend. No help, no guidance, no care. When teachers ask why you haven t submitted work & you tell them that there is no help from them they pitty you away like it s your fault that you never asked. Never let anyone attend at this again you ll learn nothing & simply grow stupider from the teachers & principle there. good day.

I've taken a handful of FLVS classes and I've had good experiences and bad ones. Lots of variation in classes. Teachers share curriculum across courses, some of this curriculum and lesson formatting can be harder to understand for student like myself. I've taken a couple classes and have done decently well, but some are definitely better than others. My only advice for if you're considering taking FLVS courses is that you need to make sure you have good pacing for your courses. Younger students will definitely need guidance and accountability as the courses are "self- paced." This pacing is really helpful for students that are either behind or ahead of the curve, while students that are mostly average would probably to best in a face- to- face classroom better tailored to their needs. <ALSO> Students interested in taking larger classes like math or a language should consider taking them as a normal class as their definitely hefty over FLVS.

FLVS Be Good. Growin' up in da hood i aint never got dat good schoolin'. Im thankful fo dem good teachas but dem rude behind teachas i caint do dat. Yall gone have to fire dem or somethin'. My oldist dooahter , who attends public schoo, Quinqueasha loves to see her little sister enjoyin her time in schoo. I would like to see moe fun in da lessons doe. And more of a reason why da multiple choice questions de be gettin wronge is wronge. But i did notice dat da "Work at yo own pace" thang aint really dat true. Overall this program is hepfull

I have two middle school girls using FLVS for curriculum and my husband and I love it! Parents need to be involved in the lives and education of their children to realize the amazing material and resources they have available for their children. My daughters enjoy it and love the fact that they have teachers that help and support them. As a parent I have more contact with teachers through FLVS then previously in the school system (private). I am not concerned about the view or opinion of other parents. Our home has been very pleased with FLVS for homeschooling material!

It was worse than I thought but the teachers were nicer then I expected!!!! If only it was to where you had longer to do the courses because they take a while to do.

No thank you. Teachers are not understanding of extenuating circumstances when it comes to assignments, even when informed prior. They also are not at all helpful in any way, shape, or form. I'm taking classes online so I can graduate early, and I don't have time for these teachers' idiocy, which is getting in the way of my education. The courses are difficult to navigate. When asking for help, the teachers rarely help, and often make things more confusing and complicated. The process of enrollment is excessive and difficult, discouraging many people to even bother to signing up. The teachers can drop you from a class at any time, whether they have a reason or not. The welcome calls are ridiculous, redundant, difficult to complete, and can cause you to be dropped if you don't call with your parents in in a timely enough fashion. The flexibility and the "at your own pace" is a lie-you don't have the opportunity to work at your own pace. You really know a school is horrible when their administration gets in the way of your education. I would never put anyone else through this.

horrible online school system and horrible teachers. Hated my time with fllvs.

Quite literally one of the worst education providers, the language courses are sub-par and are not caught up to public school teachings.Although they implemented a limitation on vocab to avoid cheating.It makes it a challenge for advanced language speakers just trying to earn the credit . I think of the limitation as a curse, a curse for those who are smarter than the average FLVS user.

I know communication comes with being apart of completion of the course but if our instructors want to be able to accomplish such feel as if they should put in the effort as well, and if you forget to contact them at least in my experiences they overwhelm you with an outrageous amount of calls and berate you . I would honestly like to not be responded to by an automated message but I know that expectation is just fallacitical .

RESPECTFULLY.

I don t like Flvs, it s just too stressful having a test for every single lesson is horrible, there was a time I emailed my teacher, she didn t get it but she got it with messages, later I used message and she didn t get the message, so I had to email her! Now I don t know what to do when communicating! DBA s are bad too, one for every module is horrible. I feel like there should be an assignment every 2 lessons and a DBA replacing quizzes, and projects are scheduled like if we can do it in a single day. Honestly Flvs is a good concept but it is horribly executed, I feel like i have to go to school twice.

The teacher were no help at all, every time i had to do a quiz i ended failing it even with all the notes i still failed and the teacher didn't help me at all, it is totally stressful and believe me, it will tear your family apart, i promise to you, DO NOT TAKE IT, all my friends hate ii and it makes absolutely no sense and some of the grammar in the lessons are horrible, I'm Spanish and it made me hate my language and made me learn less than what i already know. To all schools i recommend not taking it. I thought it would be easy but its just a pain in my a**, ill update through out.

Not the best, I kept getting withdrawn from all of my course, it is also VERY stressful for me and my family, I haven't had any breaks at all.

It's pretty good, but it is hard to keep up with 4 assignments per week.

things wrong with FLVS:
1. you should never have teachers on an online program. you should only have a team of editors and a support team for questions. if you are willing to do an online program then you should know how to self teach. unless you are in a webinar do not include teachers.
2. an online course should not bring stress to the user it should bring challenges. challenges encourage the user to do more and try harder. while yes the challenges might bring a little stress they should never make the user want to quit.stress from FLVS is caused by the "choose your own pace" that they have.
3. "choose your own pace". the choose your own pace in FLVS is very faulty because your pace has to co exist with the teachers ( another reason why to not include teachers and make them editors.). a true choose your own pace would allow you to work when you can for a certain amount of time and remind you daily to work.
4. the DBA. Discussion Based Assessments as they call them are a very faulty way of assessing the user. normal assessments are fine but having to schedule a specific part of your day and week is not an efficient way of learning.
5. video assessments. video assessments are a very strange thing to include in an online course.

I like flvs it's a very awesome program not just for me but everybody in general.

I don't like this and I don't believe that someone can be teached through a digital device. Their use is for helping the teacher, not replacing it. It is stupid for OCPS to make this mandatory. It is hard to navigate, lots of problems, and you can't just raise your hand and ask your teacher for help.

Its rigged...I was forced to put a star on ratings.

this is no fun you have to turn in work one a day i dont have time to do this they think i do but i go to REAL SCHOOL plus this this made me depressed and hate school i like school but not this this so called school makes me always mad and i can tell i am normally funny and joking but flvs made me depressed verry depressed i will never do this again.

FLVS is causing so much problems with my family its causing me to go back into depression. Are you happy now FLVS?

This school absolutely sucks so time consuming I wouldn't say it's hard it's just so irritating. Teachers suck school suck the work suck the whole system sucks if I could go back this is the last thing I would have takin.

Their website it the most UN user friendly site I have worked with and I've worked with many. The customer service number seems to employ people who are disconnected with the actual school. My daughter was in the online school for 3 weeks before we removed her and put her back into regular school. I will never again use this site. I would advise anyone questioning doing online school to be prepared for tons of aggravation trying to navigate the site. Hated the experience.

I am currently in FLVS and i drop out of private school because of the really bad setting! You would think private school would be the best option but, no it is not. So, we had found FLVS and, so far it had been amazing. I love all my teachers they are so nice to me . The only thing i would like to change for FLVS is the DBA! I really don't like the DBA it stresses me out over the phone. I would rather not do DBA in FLVS! Thank you

I've been taking this for a few weeks now and I absolutely love it. Classes fly by but at your own pace. They only ask for two assignments a WEEK per class but you can do more if you please. If you do your work at a good pace you can EASILY have an extra month of summer break or even more! The teachers are nice and understanding and they are always available. The website is easy to navigate and they have tutorials on how to do so if you're confused. Lastly, another great feature is that FLVS wants you to master whatever you're learning so if you do an assignment you don't like your grade on, you can take it up to three times and replace your grade! Thank you FLVS for making school much easier and fun for me!

This was our first year with FLVS and my daughter and I both loved it. Her teacher Mrs. Stewart was awesome. My daughter maintained a 98% average for the entire year and she loved all of here classes. If it wasn't for the fact that she needs to learn to be around other students we would have stayed with this group. The only problem we had was that we couldn't find other students her age in our area, but that has nothing to do with the school. Thank you everyone!!

One of the most poorly organized and unequipped educational facilities I've attended as a student. Unhelpful teachers and useless coursework. If the site or programs don't work, they really don't work.

Whatever you do do NOT take FLVS. Absolutely positively the worst course I've ever experienced in my life. The teachers were completely useless and rude. The lessons were nonsense and didn't teach you anything. The assignments were beyond stressful and extremely difficult to complete. DBA's used to make physically make me sick. If you did not know the answers the teachers would yell at you accuse you of cheating. It took ages for the teachers to reply. Completely unprofessional to the point where I had to drop from all my courses because I couldn't handle it! Please I'm warning you never sign up for this course! I wish I could rate -5 stars! It's all a lie! The "work at your own pace" is a complete lie! They make you complete 4 assignments a week and if you ever miss one they call you a million times and threaten to expel you from the course. It's a total waste of time! DO NOT TAKE FLVS!

I have no doubt that the people who are giving FLVS one star are the ones who are too lazy to do it, this online program is great with a superbly helpful, nice, and capable staff. The program was truly a help for me to obtain my required electives/core. The ones complaining about the assignments giving a headache, anxiety, etc, most likely need to put it in the effort.

Love The teachers but hate the fact that I have to read the lessons 100000000000 times to actually understand the lesson so sorry but you get 1 star that's for the teachers NOT the school

Edit: Okay so maybe I was a little mean I'm just so stressed out with this new way of learning trying to stick to my parents expectations of straight A's. Plus on top of that I have to help my brother who's 2 weeks behind because he started late. I honestly don't mind the different way of learning. I just miss all my friends and my school its just all so different.

Though I did help my 4th grade brother with an ELA quiz which me a 7th grader have an A in and he still got an F (50%) So that kinda sucks otherwise I like this new way of learning just totally leaving after the end of this year.

the physical education classes are very tedious and have nothing to do with excercise and should just be typing classes

I would like to give some SERIOUS praise to Mrs. Diamond.
My son is a 15 year old with autism and developmental dyspraxia who has been in the algebra 1 class for a year and 3 months. For a long while it looked like he just wouldn't make it and we would have to pull him out of the class. Then his original teacher left and Mrs. Diamond took over.
WOW! Mrs. Diamond went above and beyond. No, she went more than above and beyond. She was AMAZING! She flexed and bent, thought out of the box, came up with unique ideas my son could deal with and always, always kept his stress level AND MINE in mind throughout the whole process. I'm astounded with the amount of effort she put into helping my son succeed, and the love, kindness and encouragement she poured into that help - for my son and me. There aren't enough words to describe all the many ways she helped and how tremendously grateful I am.
Today, I am thrilled to report that my son finally passed the course with a 66%. But I am also saddened because we must lose Mrs. Diamond, the best teacher my son has ever had. Ever.
It's wonderful when you find a special teacher. It's incredibly rare to find someone who's so amazing, especially with special needs kids.
FLVS is lucky to have her. I know my son was.

FLVS FLEX is great because it works around you and allows to go at an accelerated pace, and the UI has improved so much! Had a great experience.

So confusing, it is either work at your own pace or have a deadline of 2 assignments per week. It stresses me out day and night.

Florida Virtual School ruined my life. I thought it was a real school, but its all online? It's nonsense. I can't put up with it much longer.

Florida Virtual School Vs ESchool is different in my district. Eschool was the most non stressful thing ever and i completed my Online class in 2 weeks and my teacher well wasn't really a teacher more like a proctor making sure i completed assignments. FLVS was painful and stressful and i quit in 1 week. I prefer to learn in a classroom than a virtual one. The teachers on FLVS, well at least mine was responsive and very determined to help me grow, but as for courses, they have this outdated look to it and the interface is so bad.

Nice teachers. Good course layouts. I am a part time student who has taken HOPE, Driver's Ed, Algebra 2 Honors, AP Macroeconomics, AP Microeconomics, AP Language & Composition, AP Government, and AP Psychology on FLVS and intend on taking more courses with FLVS for my Senior year. I have had a good experience through all of my classes, and would recommend students to take all of the classes I have with FLVS. My only advice is that if you take a FLVS class, make sure you have the time and will to dedicate hours towards your class(es) each week. Good luck!

This school doesn't know what their own policies are. First we were told that we had until 21 years of age to finish. Now being told that it's the age of 20, BUT if you have to complete two semesters of a class, you get locked out after finishing the first one. We were not told any of this, just that we had until the age of 21. I had one semester left to finish high school. Now, I don't know what I'm gonna do. If you're finishing high school late and thinking of enrolling in FLVS, run, go somewhere else. Save yourself the stress and frustration.

I despise Florida Virtual School. The material given does not teach you what so ever. It's the most stressful thing. I spend 4-8 hours doing one assignment or maybe, if I'm lucky, two. I spend this many hours PLUS an 7-hour school day. Every single time I do my assignment, after an hour i get headaches. Florida Virtual will literally leave someone wasted, no energy, strained eyes, and anxiety. I am taking a core course on Florida virtual, but i have as well taken the easiest elective and still spent about over an hour and a half doing one assignment. Don't take Florida Virtual, do what ever you need to do at your school. I am a highschool student, 11th grader, and I strongly recommend to save yourself from this.

It's not that hard, but some of the instructions are unclear. The teachers are very nice though and they can tell you what to do if you don't understand it usually.

You learn almost nothing from most of the courses aside from some AP courses. The course are almost all brain dead boring and do not get you involved whatsoever. I will give it 3 stars on the fact that it gives free prerequisite and other tedious credits you need for important classes. This is the only use iv found for it and feel bad for anyone enrolling full time using FLVS.

Great teachers and way of learning is great. I will probably will be going again next year. I appreciate all the hard work of all my teachers.

I am currently taking Spanish 2 with Sra. Folleco (great teacher). My friends have used this to get credits and it has worked out great. All of my friends that have used FLVS agree that their teachers are very responsive and helpful. They are willing to help you out if you don't understand something. The site could be a bit more organized, but it works great.

I mean when I first started I was withdrawn after trying to get an early start on my high school course. But after a while I got used to the website format. Some teachers are kind and understanding. A con is that some teachers will not reply to any form of communication and will withdrawal from the course even though you obviously tried to contact them. But when the instructors do contact you and you are working hard in the course it does go a little smoother.

Just another form of a broken school system that s failing our children, except this is worse than your average brick and mortar school. Would give zero stars if that was an option!

I took Driver's Ed at FLVS and had a great experience. The teachers are there for you if you need them and it's easy to finish the homework on your own schedule. My brother took a couple courses and he found it a lot less distracting than being in a regular high school classroom.

Well great the staff of the Virtual School have given up on me so I really can't wait to start Job Corp how am I supposed to pass with no help from teachers?? Especially since I was in 7th grade math and then put me in 11th grade and expect me to pass without any help! I am done with Virtual School don't do it unless you want to fail!

Not very easy to navigate through the course. Teacher is pretty good. we never get any video calls though. The first quarter of the year we were not even taught how to navigate through the Spanish 1 course.

For people reading this review,
Flvs is not perfect, but it is a good alternative for kids who want to get ahead, and people frustrated with their school. This, as much as FLVS claims, is not for anyone who takes their time doing their assignments and works slow. Their site is easy to use and works fine. No complaints about that. Some teachers are good, some not as much. I had one teacher in world history who was not the best and took weeks to answer. The good thing is that if you really have a valid complaint about your teacher, you can speak with the teachers principal and get moved to another teacher. My new teacher is amazing. FLVS should seriously give him a raise and really cares about his students. Shout out to Mr. Irizarry. He is the best and has literally taken the time to make a video explaining every single unit and makes his course super easy and fun. The workload is harsh, especially if you are taking a full load. But if you want to take 2 courses at a time, it is really not so hard. I was a straight A student and a fast learner and take 5 courses and am doing really well though it is a bit difficult to stay on pace, especially in the beginning. The school has so, so many courses to take such as nearly every A.P. course offered, languages, even specialty courses that you can really customize to what you are into learning. There are ways to solve nearly every issue and I really think FLVS is a good addition to the public school system. There is technical support to call, there is a help desk, there is a principal for every subject. If you, i ll be quite frank, are lazy and don t want to work, FLVS is not for you. If you are motivated, want to get ahead, work hard, and succeed, I would HIGHLY recommend FLVS. There is even 2 weeks trial from when you sign up where you can drop your courses if you are not interested. Try it!! I highly doubt you will be disappointed.

there shouldn't be phone calls since they can cause some students to get really bad anxiety. other than that it's fine ig.

well i'm doing the new program that is called infinty and it is at school and very hard bc you aren't on your own pace

the teacher was nice and all but the way the course was organized made no time for other activities and stressed me out. To be honest, i like regular school better.

its not bad, its just reaallyy hard. plus sometimes the teachers are impossible to get ahold of

Very boring. doesnt help you learn from your mistakes. takes way too long.

Well, this site can be hit or miss. Most teachers are nice but, some are rude. I am currently in 9th grade. And yes, i do sometimes have trouble with lessons and worksheets. But, when i get a multiple choice question wrong i get NO feedback! How am i supposed to learn from my mistakes? Don't give me the answer but show me how to or what do to so i CAN get the answer correct. i give this so called "school" a -5 stars!

it sucks the way they do it is all wrong it is the worst place to take classes at because some stuff on their is rigged they say go at your on paste but u have to do the dba before your exams its dumb its for lazy people who want an easy job

FLVS SHOULD GO STEP ON A LEGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am at 83% in my second class as a credit retrieval and I just have to say, it's so near perfect. The teachers actually know what they are talking about and they will do their best to help you. :) Highly recommend

A a veteran of both homeschooling and FLVS I vouch for FLVS. Teachers are great, helpful and always look for the best way to help you. The courses are all very well constructed and comprehensive. It makes learning easy and you can do courses while in your underwear if you want.

Quite literally an outdated and inefficient system full of required contact with a teacher who may not be even to talk with you until a certain day and hour out of schedule, its the only easy way to do courses over summer but it is terrible, everyone i talk to agrees, but you dont have a choice, so good luck with it

Barley works, the teachers never answer the phone or respond.
so low res the graphics suck! 0/10-IGN

10- metacritic

I started FLVS in the summer after I finished 5th. At first it was excellent I was able to do a module in one day. But later I started getting lazy and soon at the end of the year I had to take a out of country trip in 5 days and I still had about 9 modules. So then I killed myself with stress trying to do these assignments and on the last night I worked until 5 am in the morning and I got done.

Now I started 7th and I'm starting to like it more. All my teachers are very helpful even though sometimes I get annoyed because they don't pick up calls but remember each of these teachers have at least 35+ students so it's obviously hard for them to keep track, but still they do a good job.
This is going to be a great year.

It is an amazing commodity for students that want more elective space, want to have more credits, or even just to fulfill the graduation requirement. The teachers are very helpful, the site is well-made, and curriculum is great. Many students complain and rate it 1-2 stars because flvs takes discipline and determination, (and Motivation and dedication are recommended) because the student is you, your pace, your work, your grade, your experience, and you should remember that the next time you apply for an online course. :) All in all it is great.

Okay, I am so done with this school. A YT Video about a subject is WAY Better than wasting your time here at FLVS. I've been sending an assignment to my history teacher (Mr. Barnes) but just in a different way instead of doing a slideshow all I did was write it down on text and guess what? He's giving me 0 grade. I'm trying my best! these teachers are picky. and I bet in 1 day I'm going to forgot EVERYTHING I've learned in the Module, OH WAIT I already have- these teachers expect you to do it right and to do it their way well guess what I'm going to do it MY Way. Students WHATEVER you do DONT go to flvs #worstschoolever. I Can't wait for google to take this website DOWN.

Just a note to tell you how satisfied I am as a Florida parent that my son was given the opportunity to complete one of his courses through FLVS. Our Instructor Robin Spires did a great job of keeping my wife and I informed and keeping our children on task.

To anyone taking FLVS DON'T DO IT WITH PASCO ESCHOOL. They make your life extremely difficult. I was taking a U.S. Government Class with Mrs. Podany and she was always so complicated to work with. In the end I finished all the assignments for the segment except for the final exam. I took the Exam and I lost it twice due to the fact I had issues with the power at my house at the time. Both times everything was out of my control.....Mrs. Poday being a terrible teacher did not allow me to take it again even though a close friend of mine was able to reset their exam 3-4 times! She asked for my parents to DRIVE all the way to a school to take the Exam ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! We tried to set it up but it always fell through. Anyways I underwent a knee surgery and was on heavy pain medication only to find out today I was being kicked out of my class. Turns out she had emailed me while I was on "Heavy pain Meds". I never saw it due to the fact I was just out of surgery! NOW I FIND OUT I'M BEING KICKED OUT OF THE CLASS WITH ONE ASSIGNMENT LEFT. The fact I'm being kicked out with one assignment left proves why ESCHOOL and this Mrs. Podany are just plain mediocre. The schooling system is so poor thanks to teachers like Mrs. Podany. This teacher is a terrible. Eschool is terrible. FLVS you should do something to fix this. NO ONE SHOULD BE KICKED OUT BECAUSE A TEACHER ISN'T ABLE TO FIGURE A WAY FOR YOU TO TAKE A TEST. NO ONE SHOULD BE KICKED OUT WITH ONE ASSIGNMENT LEFT IN THE CLASS AFTER WORKING SO HARD. So ridiculous.

My daughter did most of high school through home-schooling with Florida Virtual. She had been in trouble in public schools and had to be pulled out. She hated school. Asking her to do her first assignment with the Florida Virtual she simply said, "YOU DO IT". After many arguments and nagging she finally began working, slooowwly, on purpose. The workload was very heavy and I would push her from the time she got up in the morning until she went to bed. She refused to call teachers and would walk away from the phone when I called them. But finally, after a few months, she began to enjoy school for the first time in many years. (She had decided her social life was much more important in the past). Her grades started getting better until she figured out that she was capable of doing well in school. They believed in her when she did not. She will tell you now that thanks to the FLVS she is doing well in life and has a very bright and hopeful future. It was a huge blessing and a Godsend. If you decide to do it, it is truly a lot of work but it is worth it.

eh it's pretty terrible

The course selection is terrible, and the Teachers of FLVS are just ok. Also, your interface is clunky and glitchy.

Surprised by all of the negative reviews. I completed middle and high school with FLVS and loved it the entire time. Granted some teachers were better than others but that is like all other schools.

My teachers were more than willing to help move things around but the key was communication. If you do not communicate to your teachers that you are having a rough week, they will have to be forced to assume that you are not working. At the same time, virtual school requires a lot more organization and responsibilities then a traditional school. Having successfully passed, I can honestly attest to the fact that it can be done.

FLVS

Good concept, terrible teachers & executed even worse.

Love the fact you can retake courses but just wish they had a French 3 in the program :_(

This course is so bad. I have never seen anything worse. I would recommend that someone slam their face in a door to get more information than this. I if you start this course you will have such a bad time and your GPA will go down because they expect you to finish like 18 assignments in under a week.

Florida Virtual School is the reason I graduated high school and college early! I started FLVS in 9th grade, and because they allow you to work ahead, I finished my whole freshman year in half the time! And unlike some other schools, they do not discourage students from taking Dual Enrollment too, so I earned credits from the local college by taking their classes at the same time. Excellent teachers and great alternative to the traditional school system. FLVS made me feel like more than just a number :-)

Worst customer service agents ever. Plus all they tell you to do is speak with your school's guidance counselor. They dont help in anything and end up laughing when you ask them questions. Complete low quality services

For some reason, one of the teachers asked for my phone number to help with studies and then upon giving it to him, he asked for my address. He said that he'll help me do classwork , and because of how stressful FLVS is, I agreed. He didn't want to come in and told me to tell my parents I would be back and then get in his car. He quickly drove to his home, and offered me lemonade; which looked more like sprite to me considering it was very sparkly and had a pill (the pill was for flavor, which is what he assured me). I woke up the next day laying on a lumpy mattress in his basement, and he woke me up wearing underwear and walked me out. He told me that I passed out due to stress and recommended I talk to someone regarding my stress issue. I told my parents I stayed over at a friend's house and fell asleep, to which they assured me that I had no stress issue ,but after passing out , I didn't believe them. I am here to report that the school is very stressful and I am wondering what I can do regarding my stress problem.
