| - This school "could have" the potential to be a huge success and turnout mass amounts of college bound students. I mean that's the goal for going to this school, right? To get the best education possible, be mentored, guided, and supported by teachers and staff alike to prepare students for college and adult life. But NOOOO, on the contrary, this school has 8-10 hour long days FIVE DAYS a week for students (not including mandatory nighttime performances), which is an unrealistic, demanding, toxic, and exhausting academic schedule with absolutely NO mentors to continually guide students to success... especially special needs students. This school treats their students as if they were full grown adults. Actually worse! The teachers are non-interactive and not great tutors at all. The teachers and all office staff are substandard to say the least, and most provide no real positive interaction nor instructions for ongoing success. The teachers don't keep in touch with parents even if you beg them to. The teachers do not enter grades on time, and more times than not the grades and attendance are entered incorrectly. The teachers all give excessive amounts of classwork and homework without considering the "fact" that the students will be too overwhelmed and way too exhausted to complete it all, let alone remember to do it all. My son was an a/b honor roll student all his school years until he started as a freshman at this school. He and I spent 3 years at this school begging all office staff and teachers for mentorship, parent-teacher ongoing communication, and special needs assistance only to be overlooked, neglected and dismissed on a daily basis. Unless this school implements a whole lot of changes to their existing ways, I would NOT recommend this school to anyone. Since all his dreams and false promises were broken at/by this school, my son and I made the decision to transfer out to a different school for his senior year. When telling LVA this, they attempted to make it most difficult to transfer out stating all kinds of bs, but we stood our ground and, after several hours of the runaround, finally got out. Three years of wasted time at LVA.
