What Parents Should Know

At 57 students, Fitzgerald Virtual Academy 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.

At 1.5:1 students to teachers, Fitzgerald Virtual Academy sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.

Fitzgerald Virtual Academy 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.
