Nevada Virtual Academy Reviews

From a student perspective: the kids get to hide out and the staff are responsible for their grades. Teachers are supposed to be miracle workers and get every student to pass, including the ones who don't want to and have unsupportive parents. Students are allowed to wait until last minute and pull a Hail Mary with an unreasonable amount of help from the teacher to pass so that the numbers look good for the school. From the staff perspective:The administration plays favorites. They target employees and treat them unfairly to push them to quit. Anyone who makes a formal complaint about administration becomes a target. They do things that will get them sued or in legal trouble once someone speaks out. They prefer staff who may be less qualified in order to save money on salary costs. Their expectations are unreasonable and changes get made quickly without warning. Pay is low compared to other schools. The administration doesn't seem to know how to handle the barriers in student performance that come with being an online school except to blame the teachers. All the school cares about is how they look to the community and board of education. People get promoted into leadership positions because they're someone's wife, more so than because they're qualified.

Head of school is pretty rude, constantly changing policy. The job used to be flexible, but if Caroline can't see you, she thinks you aren't working. Principals are not helpful, lots of married couples worked there, one principal is his wife's supervisor. They love having favorites and if you actually try to follow the law and what is right your life will be miserable.
