What Parents Should Know
At 28 students, Polk Virtual Instruction Program is on the smaller side. That usually buys more individual attention and teachers who know every kid by name, with the trade-off of fewer electives and extracurriculars than a larger school can staff. Ask what activities it actually offers.
Polk Virtual Instruction Program is a virtual school, so instruction happens mostly online. That flexibility suits some kids and frustrates others; it asks a lot of self-discipline and a steady setup at home. Think about whether your child learns well on their own, and ask how the school keeps students engaged.

Why doesn't this school have a score?
We don't have enough verified data to rate this school fairly. This can happen when a school is very new, very small, or has limited test score reporting to the state.
Our rating model requires at least 2 of 4 data components (academics, student progress, college readiness, and resources) to generate a meaningful score. Schools below this threshold receive a Limited Profile to avoid misleading ratings.
