What people are saying

by a student
Saturday, September 24, 2011

This school is the best in the state of South Carolina because I am currently a student with this school and the teachers are very helpful when it comes to studying for a test or quiz and they help me to understand the material better that way I will do great on the assessments that they give every so often. My peers are very respectful sometimes, but, other times they post personal information which K12 Inc. as well as the South Carolina Virtual Charter School Student/Parent Handbook tells students not to post any personal info. Nevertheless, I would highly recommend this school to someone who is looking to further enrich their student's life.
