School Reviews
5 4/14/2014
The student: teacher ratio is actually at least as good as 1:2, and possibly better. Each student has the option of a public school tutor once a week. They also have access to at least one parent who acts as the daily teacher.
The student teacher ratio offered by this site is deceptive. Students at the virtual school are taught mainly in home settings where a guardian oversees the education of the child. That setting creates a much lower ratio than this site implies.
