I absolutely loved my experience with this school. I do not have any complaints or problems with this school. They run it efficiently with plenty of help for its students. They keep it running smooth and they make it very educational. I wouldn't change anything.

I've been attending Nevada Connections Academy since 3rd grade. It's helped me through so many medical issues by having the flexibility of doing work at my own pace. I was able to finish my schoolwork and excel. One thing I would love to see change is how the teachers communicate with the students. I would love to use my webcam while attending live lesson.

Pretty much everyone had extra resources to offer and a way to easily schedule one on one time.

The teachers are very unhelpful when it comes to asking questions about the lesson. They will always revert to telling you to recheck the material, and you will find the answers there. Obviously the material isn't making sense, which is why the students are coming to you. It's as if they don't want...

I feel through the years- communication has gotten better between myself and staff. My daughter has many health issues and they’ve worked with her. I’m happy that she’s had some great teachers through her journey.
