Lawrence families embrace the Lawrence Virtual School started in 2004 with 510 K-8 students and 75 in high school, delivering K12 curricula online for around 97 dollars per child. Parents praise flexibility, personalized pacing, and a path toward independent learners, while some homeschool advocates question its place in home schooling.
A Northeast Kansas feature explores home schooling benefits and challenges during the transition to college and work. The weekly review covers social opportunities, Kansas regulations, comparisons with other states, and a TEACH cooperative at Community Bible Church led by Gathy Barfield. Kansas virtual schools have grown to 28 with 2000 plus students, amid calls for more oversight and funding clarity. Lawrence reports praise for LVS despite broader audit concerns. Christine Hammon and her son Zachary joined LVS after moving to Edgerton to support her mother.
Lawrence Virtual School enrollment by county shows home schooled students in kindergarten to eighth grade currently enrolled and distributed by home counties. The 2005-06 annual report notes 554 total students with 3003 in male and 254 in female categories and other demographics. Local families describe benefits of home-based study and dedicated spaces while journalists provide contact details for Mindle Paget and Terry Rombeck.
