Louisiana Virtual Charter Academy in Baton Rouge

Last year teachers barely showed up to their class. This year they are already talking about switching teachers! Will not be returning to lavca!!!! Administration is no help! When the school year is active, its not time to train teachers. That shouldve already been done!

The worst online experience ever. The teachers are unorganized, unprofessional, and bias. They do a poor job of helping the students understand how they want the students to answer questions. some teachers complain to the students that they have too many students and feel over worked and overwhelmed with trying to grade and keep up with all 200 students. They are under staffed and under trained. The lack professionalism and their response to an issue seems to not be there or lacking understanding and communication. They have stricter rules for grading and too many platforms out side of the canvas site and nearpod that are used for learning. I would write this review on google but the school has disabled the reviews to keep people from writing their honest opinion about this school. I would rate this school 0 stars if it were available. I can never get in touch with anyone in the office. Its always a secretary who answers the phone and can never help resolve anything. The principal is never available. Overall just a really bad experience with LAVCA.

Do not even inquire about this school unless you are 100% sure you want your kid to go. All I did was inquire about a spot, decided against it, and now Im being told he had to "officially withdraw" when I never even turned in a single document. Luckily I homeschool and can just sign my son back up for school without withdrawl paperwork because no one is even answering or helping and I am still getting the run around about whether he is actually withdrawn.

Im trying to withdraw my son now for going on 2 weeks.
First 2 weeks was great. Loved it. Then its been hell ever since.
They lost his work, I guess when the computer issues was happening on there end. Which happened a lot this year it seem.
Nobody emails back. I have emailed multiple ppl so far. And so has my son.
And its an act of congress to get someone on the phone.

This is the worst school my children have ever attended. They dont care about the kids at all. Homework lasts for hours after school because they give you so much of it. The teachers are horrible to students they dont like. Will never attended this school again actively looking for something else

This school has been a much better experience than when we tried UVA (that was a mistake). At Louisiana Virtual Charter Academy my kids get the one to one attention and support that they need, without the problems of bullying and lack of safety they had in our local public schools. I cannot get over how much each teacher cares, treating my children as if they were their own. My oldest was never interested in school til we came here. The curriculum at the middle and high school levels has been better than I honestly expected. My kids are challenged appropriately, but have help when they need it. I honestly wish we would have come here first. They hav outings/field trips each month all over the state, a virtual world where my middle kid likes to meet up w/ his friends and hang out during week or after school, my kids teachers call anytime they have a concern or jusst to check in, and wonderful parent communities. It has been a welcome adjustment from our Parish and UVA. We are looking forward to many successful years ahead

I have a good relationship with all my kids as teachers we work together actively. And he focuses better in smaller groups and they do allow small local classrooms and this was a perfect fit for my son with special needs.

The curriculum is subpar. They hardly teach anything but expect your child to know what they havent even properly taught. I taught my child another curriculum on the side witch is why she is above benchmark for her grade . But if I didnt shed be bellow benchmark for her grade after attending this school for kindergarten.

This year of school has been terrible...I would not recommend anyone to this school at all...my child has a reading disability and he gets no extra help...he was put in the 504 program and all it does is read to him....I want him to get help to read besides from me....Take my advice and keep your child at an in person school because this year has been a complete and utter joke....

Has lowered childs self esteem to 000. Kids has a fright of class especial in math.

Posted: June 17, 2019

Leading people have no organization in their role as leaders. Has a very bad effect on children and parents trying to pass grade.

Posted: June 17, 2019

Didn't help my child at all!!!! Always saying child not being supervised. Which was a LIE

Posted: June 17, 2019

No help in math. No remedial help for kids. Emotional .stressful very draining for kids and parents. Most of third grade teachers are BUTTs.

Posted: June 17, 2019

Communication is terrible no extra for children. Leaning coaches are only the parents doing the teachers job. You get the run around from administration . DON'T PUT YOUR CHILD AND YOURSELF THROUGH THIS.

Posted: June 17, 2019

Scale 1-10 I give them 1 and half. It takes all engery from parents and child. Retaining child for missing one point.

My daughter attends 9th grade at LAVCA. In La public schools, the teachers continuously yelled at the students in class, the hallway, and even during lunch. We had numerous problems with bullying, teachers ignoring doctor's notes, and even being unable to speak to the school nurse for more than 1/2 of the school year. They even REFUSED to complete the dr. recommended IEP forms . We tried the school board's virtual school. We had minimal teacher input & they took weeks to unlock a test. There was no contact with other students , the lessons were completely out of order, had numerous errors, and tested the students on information not even taught. It was a nightmare. LAVCA is wonderful. The teachers are all extremely positive, encouraging and are very willing to help. The students are all extremely positive and encouraging to each other. Since she has been LAVCA, my daughter's grades have gone from mostly C's to all A's. In fact, at the end of her first semester there, she made the Principal's list having a GPA over 100%. I would definitely recommend LAVCA to anyone interested in bettering their child's education and school experience.

My youngest son who is a third grader has been bullied since first grade in a public elementary school, I decided with the school's help to pull him out because he struggled going to school on a daily base. We joined the K12 - LAVCA online program on Jan.7, 2014, this has made a big difference in the way my son has been learning. His homeroom teacher has been so helpful, getting things in place with his IEP and the way he learns best. I am so pleased with the design of the program, giving me a daily, and weekly plans to help me as his teacher / coach. I feel so blessed with everything they have giving us and the time they take out to help, and the support is overwheleming at times.

I came to NO from the UK 3 years ago, and my daughter is currently in 6th grade. I had my daughter enrolled in the public school system, and was horrified to find that not only did she not learn anything, but they managed to 'unteach' her everything she'd already learned in the UK. I actually sent her back to England for school as I felt her education was too important and the local public school system too lacking. Then I found LAVCA. This school is an absolute diamond, the classes are informative, there is very little for me to do except supervise (which is a must for me as I work long hours in a busy ICU), and maybe redefine concepts she struggles with. Everything you need is provided, the teachers are a mouse click or a phone call away, the online class connects/video classes are fun and interactive, my daughter actually enjoys and looks forward to class. When I previously homeschooled my older daughter without this kind of program for support, I found every spare minute I had was spent researching information and worksheets and such, this program has done all that work for me. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to homeschool, and even those who aren't.

Ready for a renewed joy in educating, I enrolled my youngest two children in LAVCA s 2013-2014 school term. As a home schooling mom of eight children, ages 6 to 18, I had been teaching from home for the past 15 years. "Fun and exciting," would not have been the vocabulary my kids would have used when speaking of their schooling. The provision and authentic devotion of the administration and teachers has been incredibly inspiring. The teachers earnestly care to know the individual needs of each of my children and have worked attentively with me on their learning plans. I now have five blissful, well-educated children who are eager to come to virtual class to spend time with their teachers and classmates. My experience with LAVCA has been wonderfully positive and I would gladly recommend the school to anyone!!!

This school is amazing! They make this super easy for the students and parents. The program is student directed and flexible. In a traditional classroom setting, there is pacing that the teacher must follow which leaves struggling students missing valuable concepts. LAVCA allows the student to achieve Mastery before they move on to the next concept. It also allows students to quickly move through the concepts they already know. It is the IDEAL personalized educational experience. You do NOT have to spend all day on curriculum and lessons. You do not have to do ALL the coursework in the workbooks, they are SUGGESTED only. My child spends additional time on the lessons he needs help with and we move through the others. The students take a brief quiz on each lesson, if they achieve 80% and you feel they are ready, then you move on. If they do not achieve 80%, THEN you want to utilize the materials LAVCA provides you with to reteach and/or reinforce. You only do ONE lesson per day in each subject unless you want to move ahead. The teachers are EXTREMELY supportive and will help you if you have questions or feel anxious. A very nurturing environment. It is AWESOME!

LAVCA is a great option! We took our three elementary aged daughters out of a great private school over a year ago because we could not longer afford the 12K per child per year. It was a tough decision at the time but we have not looked back. LAVCA partners with the nationally accredited homeschool program k12.com and all materials come right to our door. The history program is amazing and the language arts and math are equivalent to the previous private school they attended. This is an amazing option for our city.

I have a first grader and a fifth grader in LAVCA, and we absolutely love it. My oldest daughter started with LAVCA in the 2nd grade. For her 3rd grade year we enrolled her in a magnet school, and when she was given a placement test she was placed in the 4th grade instead of the 3rd! The curriculum is challenging yet flexible, the students are able work at their own pace. It can be quite time consuming but you will get out of it what you are willing to put in to it. The materials you need are shipped right to your door as well as computer equipment if needed. The state certified teachers are wonderful and always there to help the student and learning coach. Every week, students are able to attend interactive online classes with their teachers and other students in their grade. LAVCA also offers electives such as foreign language (my daughters both take French), as well as various clubs that students can join to share common interests with their peers in online meetings. Every month students have the opportunity to attend outings in various locations around the state, which give the students, learning coaches and teachers an opportunity to get to know one another.

I have a background in early childhood education and I chose to take my son out of the failing New Orleans Public school system and school him at home. He has been enrolled in LAVCA now for almost 3 months and I am very impressed with the whole system. They sent all of the materials that I would need for the whole year right to my doorstep (even the paints and modeling clay for art)! They give you all of the support that you can possibly need including a designated teacher, lesson plans, online and offline materials and lesson guides that are created so that even someone who has never taught a child in their life can be successful at helping them learn the material. The curriculum is top notch and my 1st grade son is learning concepts that my 2nd grade daughter is just beginning to learn and she goes to a top rated school in our city. My son has developed his reading skills beyond my expectations in just a short period of time. As with any home schooling endeavor, it takes time and commitment from the parent. However, I have successfully used the program while running my own business and caring for my own two children. The best part its...the cost of the program is free!!!

This school leaves you with absolutely no free time. It has managed to suck all the joy out of my life. With this school, you are either eating, sleeping, or doing assignments. I would not recommend this school to anybody. I would say, "Get as far away from here as you possibly can. Do not let them bring your life into misery like they did mine." I literally spend nearly every waking hour on school work. It is the worst thing in my life right now.
