Georgia Virtual Academy, which two years ago provides instruction to Odyssey Online, caused the special charter school did not respond adequately yearly progress to meet the targets for the pupils in 2007-08. The school lacks brand equity and mathematics tests for students with disabilities and the poor.

Arkin says Odyssey, which has Coweta on a campus 2004, moves next to a school to expand its range. “Virtual schools in other states are capable of giving students the art, music, foreign languages, other teachers,” said Arkin. “We are capable of more on a level equal rights [are].”
During this time, the school of federal funds for the first time this autumn. The government has unanimously decided to him more than $ 572.000 for the education of the poor. About half of the school is it for free or reduced lunch.
