Primavera online is such a good school. You can work at your own pace and the six week blocks keep so organized unlike public. I get my work done faster and it's easy but also gives me an challenge. The teachers are great they stay in contact with you and is always there to help. I feel like I get more help from online teachers then regular public teachers. Parents are involved in every way they get the progress reports three weeks into the block then the report card when you finished up the block. Plus, the parents have to log in how much time you spent in school. It's great, fun, exciting, and i love it I would recommend this school to anyone.

Once the new administration took over the good teachers either left or became so over worked with frivolous tasks that they are not able to teach at the same level as before.
The administration needs to let the teachers do their job and until they do the school will continue to suffer.
