There's all kinds of schools out there that graduate productive members of society. You don't need all of that you listed to land at a decent mid tier school, which may be a good fit for them. They'll be just fine, and they'll be good enough to get recruited somewhere. For some reason that seems to drive you crazy.

I don't want to name the online school they use, but a simple search found these reviews on the Consumer Affairs website:
Original review: Oct. 6, 2017
I could not be more disappointed with ****** ******* and their lack of commitment to their students. I have had a similar experience to others that have posted on this site. I received a few emails in the beginning of the course then it died out... No more communication. Not even a phone call to discuss my daughter's progress. Oh wait they emailed me 8 months later to say the program was ending and I could sign her up for another session. I think it is a scam for them to re-enroll students again so they can make money! Such a disgrace to the education system. This is very disappointing considering what it cost!
Right now my daughter is in a free program and I am so pleased with the communication - weekly calls with my daughter and I. There is a genuine interest in my daughter's success. I asked for a refund. I was told I had access to the program therefore I was not going to get a penny back. Ha! Teachers are on a permanent vacation and we are expected to pay for this?Original review: April 17, 2017
****** ******* online HS is unscrupulous, unethical and nothing good can come of signing up with them. My horrible experience is not an isolated incident, as I've come to learn from others. They enrolled my daughter in a summer class that she was not equipped nor available for, made a lot of promises, and then refused to give me a refund, saying they don't refund money for summer classes. To make matters worse, the teacher was on an extended vacation and when we inquired as to his presence they said that it's an online class so kids are expected to do the work unguided.
It turned out that ****** ******* didn't know he was on vacation! The final straw was when I tried to get my money back, they refused to give me the name and email of the supervisor responsible for the "No Refunds" policy (remember - this is an online class!). It was only by threatening legal action and sending multiple emails to the Principal and Head of Education, did I receive my money back! Stay away...Original review: Oct. 14, 2016
I enrolled my daughter in ****** ******* High School. This was our first time attending a online school. We chose them because of their commitment to their students. And that the teachers and counselors are fully engaged with their students. Well at the end of the school year I found out that my daughter did not complete any of her courses. We were also unaware of a specific "end of year" date. None of the teachers or counselors communicated any falling behind type statuses of any other communications. Just generic group messages from the school.
So, after $$ for the tuition we had to purchase extensions for all courses at $200 each. Which gave her 1 month to finish all courses. She was able to finish all but one. So we had to purchase another extension but this time it went up to $300. No notice, just increased it another $100. For this last course, the teacher was unresponsive and we had to wait for 10 business days for an assignment to be graded. But we are finally finished with **HS... so we thought. Of course we are not re-enrolling her and currently working with another school but need her transcript. A request for her transcript was completed 3 weeks ago but had no response. It is supposed to be a 10 business day turnaround. We cannot enroll her in her senior year without it.Original review: Aug. 5, 2015
What a disappointing experience!!! My son DID NOT HEAR from ANY teacher the WHOLE year!! That is almost impossible!! 2 weeks before the end of the year, then they decide to EMAIL him to recommend getting an extension $$$$ to allow him to finish his classes without penalty. I have 2 kids on the public (FLVS) system of education and for $8000. They did not even come close to the quality of teaching we get from the public system. Not worth it. We wasted our money. My son did well because he is a good student. Otherwise, don't expect any help from these teachers. The one and only time I emailed a teacher, I never heard from him! Not one phone conversation with any teacher. We are talking 5 classes and NO communication except their mass emails!! I don't know what else to say. Don't make my mistake.

Some of the Valeo-Portugal kids do online and some do home schooling or a combo of homeschooling and classes. The referred to boys have in fact taken AP tests in science -already. The one advantage to homeschooling is a small class size 🤓

Pay close attention to all this bickering people. It's what you're getting yourself into with the Revs. The parents are all nuts and will demean your child every chance they get to promote their own. It used to be worth enduring when the Revs could provide quality college placements but those days are over and they've been surpassed by Aztec, Bolts, GPS & NEFC.

It just isn't normal., it's demented. Their choices, not yours.

You live in a strange world if you find such things fascinating.
Massachusetts is the top state in the nation for education.
Rebel all you want against soccer because the sport will serve very little importance in anyone's life after graduation.
School, on the other hand, is extremely important. The high school experience itself is important, independent of the learning that takes place.
It's sad that the Revs are so bad that they drive people out of the state.

I don’t think they are affiliated with the Valeo group. They don’t stay at the villa either. Lots of misinformation and rumors and obsession.
