What Parents Should Know

Test scores at Alamance Virtual School sit below average, but its growth scores are strong: students here make above-average progress year over year. The raw numbers haven't caught up, but a school that keeps moving kids forward is doing the harder, more important work.

At 8.1:1 students to teachers, Alamance Virtual School sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.

Alamance Virtual School 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.
