I went to this school when I was very young. I was beaten everyday because I was autistic.If you have an autistic child, do not enroll them into this school.

Bullying is insane! Staff does nothing and no matter how many times it’s brought up it gets brushed under the rug! And they only care about test scores. Teacher Tamara Philips is THE WORST MATH TEACHER I have ever stumbled on! If your child struggles with math already, avoid her as their teacher because she will not give help when it’s asked for and says”refer back to notes” as if that will teach a child! Simply put she doesn’t teach! She’s a robot spewing information and nothing more! She also posts inappropriate content on her Facebook that demeans students and parents! Very unprofessional. If your child is not good at testing but has straight A’s they still place them based solely on the test scores which in most cases just dumbs down the student and they learn nothing all year only because they don’t do well on tests! Worst school experience ever for my child! We won’t be back next year!

Im now and 8th grader at Avalon Middle and in my 2 years i have been there, I've realized that Avalon isn't just a school……it's a family. The teachers treat you like their kids and the staff members are always there for you. Well what I'm bring to say isn that is you're looking for a good middle school, than Avalon is the way to go!

Cons: This school is not for someone looking for any "easy out" of the traditional brick and mortar school. The coursework is very time consuming. Many typical daily assignments in the virtual school would be broken down and completed as multiple assignments over weeks at a traditional school. The virtual school also expects the student to have a firm handle on all basic computer programs; including Powerpoint presentations, Excel, Word processing, emailing, submitting audio files, digital files, etc. For someone just starting out, the time it takes to learn the programs and processes of submitting work via the internet has to be accounted for. This is my son's first year at the school and he has learned both subject material and computing skills. Pros: The system keeps parents aware of what is going on with the student and in a very timely manner. All teachers are quick to respond, and test & assignments are graded and recorded within hours (sometimes minutes) of submittal. - The curriculum is engaging and thorough. - Classwork is extremely portable and accessible at anytime.
