Given the current scenario, I'm exploring the option of moving to an online high school. Can anyone name some of the most respected ones?
Sure, there are numerous reputable online high schools that provide a high-quality education, and many are regionally or nationally accredited.
For instance, Stanford's Online High School (OHS) offers a rigorous curriculum and boasts a record of strong student outcomes. Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School (PA Cyber) is another quality online option that offers numerous AP classes and a strong academic program.
Laurel Springs School is known for its college preparatory offerings, with high-quality courses, AP offerings, and an excellent track record of graduates admitted into top colleges.
James Madison High School is also noteworthy. It is regionally and nationally accredited, offering flexible online programs that cater to a diverse array of student needs.
Finally, the University of Nebraska High School offers over 100 courses, including AP classes, and allows students to earn both a diploma or take single classes to supplement their education.
One point to remember, in addition to the academic quality, you will want to ensure any online high school offers appropriate support for its students—ideal schools should offer resources like real-time student-teacher interaction, timely feedback, and counseling services to assist with college selection and application. It might also be beneficial to look for a school that fosters a sense of community among its students, via online clubs or gatherings, connect and build relationships with peers.
