November 9, 2026

A student participates in online learning from home. Results from Florida Virtual School's 2025-26 Parent Satisfaction Survey found high levels of parent engagement and satisfaction among FLVS Full Time families.

More than 93% of Florida Virtual School Full Time Public Schools (FLVS Full Time) families reported being satisfied or extremely satisfied with their experience, according to results from the school's 2025-26 Parent Satisfaction Survey.

The survey was conducted in spring 2026 and included responses from more than 1,100 FLVS Full Time families, with 95% reporting that school communications were easy to understand and nearly 80% saying they felt connected to teachers.

The findings, released during National Family Engagement Month, highlight the role strong communication and family-school partnerships play in supporting student success.

The strong levels of parent satisfaction, communication, and engagement reflected in the survey correspond with positive student outcomes across FLVS Full Time. In 2026, Florida Virtual High School graduated a record 1,499 students, the largest graduating class in school history. Students also earned 1,206 industry certifications during the 2025-26 school year, reflecting continued growth in college- and career-readiness opportunities.

"High levels of parent satisfaction and engagement are more than survey results. They are indicators of a healthy learning environment," said Suzanna Pacheco, principal of Florida Virtual High School. "When families understand what is happening in their child's education, feel connected to teachers and have opportunities to stay involved, students benefit.” 

For Nanette Rivera of Orlando, Fla., FLVS provided each of her children with the flexibility and support they needed to succeed.

"What stood out about FLVS was that it gave each of my children something different," Rivera said. "They all had unique learning needs, and FLVS provided the flexibility and support to help each of them succeed in their own way. Watching Olivia grow from a student who struggled with confidence into a leader involved in speech and debate, student government, and community service has been incredible."

Her daughter, FLVS Full Time senior Olivia Rivera, said virtual learning allowed her to take ownership of her education while building meaningful connections with classmates.

"Most people ask, 'How do you find community?'" Rivera said. "I've met so many amazing people, some of my best friends, through FLVS."

Rivera plans to attend Valencia College before transferring to the University of Central Florida to pursue a degree in civil engineering. Reflecting on seven years at FLVS, she said the supportive teachers and opportunities for involvement helped prepare her for college and beyond.
