Virtual schools make available a world of new courses from obscure electives to advanced placement classes that challenge students intellectually and open up new doors educationally. Thanks to the anytime, anywhere nature of online courses, students with a range of special circumstances (from health issues to job or family constraints) don?t have to fall behind or drop out. From small rural communities to large urban centers, schools of all sizes and styles are looking to online courses to patch holes in their own academic lineups. For a student in a rural or poorly funded school looking for a class in marine sciences or Web programming, an online course may be the only option. "Many of these students wouldn?t have access to these classes otherwise," says Bob Blomeyer, a senior program associate with the North Central Regional Educational Laboratory, which provides resources to teachers and policymakers."There is a tremendous potential for education improvement." The flexibility of online learning is a big draw for students with a heavy schedule of extracurricular activities, too. During the past decade, virtual K?12 schools have developed from farflung hatchlings to a full-fledged industry that has allowed high school students to make excellent use of their high school years by cherry picking among the best teachers in several states. But what will the next 10 years bring? Will students sit in cubicles? Will everyone stay home? Not likely, say most experts."Online learning will never replace the classroom," says FLVS?s Young. Some form of blended learning online and in the classroom will likely become the norm, as students take one or two online courses to supplement their traditional schedule. Even when they?re enrolled in online courses, most students won?t be entirely on their own. An inclass teacher will act as a coach, helping students select online courses and making sure they stay on track and manage their time well. The local coach or facilitae ones. It is a model that will better prepare them not only for college where these skills are essential to success but for life in an information driven society.

Two issues represented the essence of this study: online education and high school graduation. A high school diploma is the gateway to future achievements in education and careers and can influence students' self-esteem and relationships. However, research has shown that dropping out of high school can lead to unemployment, welfare, prison, and poor health, not to mention low self-esteem and a sense of failure. Initially, online courses for high school students supplemented courses not available in local institutions. However, over the last decade virtual schools have developed ways to meet the individual needs of all students, particularly those at risk. A quantitative study researched the correlation between four independent variables--credit deficiency, reading level, gender, and race--and the dependent variable, high school graduation. The study sample included archived records of 100 students enrolled in a California virtual high school. Chi-square tests determined the significance of the relationship between each independent variable and graduation. Subsequently, a logistic step-wise regression method provided analysis of the relationship between all of the independent variables and graduation. Results indicated that only credit deficiency significantly correlated with graduation. A discussion of these findings reflects critical implications and suggests key topics for future research.

Virtual schools are a result of widespread changes in knowledge about learning, in available technology and in society. Virtual schooling is growing in popularity and will continue to attract students because of the benefits it offers over traditional schooling. Stakeholders in virtual schools need information to guide their decisions. For the foreseeable future, virtual schools will continue to meet diverse student needs, and to evolve in response to further change. Development and Management of Virtual Schools: Issues and Trends brings together knowledge of virtual schools as a reference for scholars and other groups involved in virtual schools.

High school has evolved significantly over the last several decades. What was once a choice between public school and private school is now a decision that includes homeschools, magnet schools, charter schools, and virtual schools, to name a few. This was a mixed-methods case study that investigated students’ and families’ satisfaction with their decision to attend high school virtually. The study examined a fully online virtual high school in the state of Arkansas to answer the following research questions: 1. What factors best predict students’ interest in enrolling in a fully online virtual school in Arkansas? 2. Is there a statistically significant relationship between students’ satisfaction, positive experience, and enrollment duration and attending fully online virtual school in Arkansas? 3. Are there statistically significant differences in the satisfaction between students attending a fully online virtual school in Arkansas and their parents? 4. Are there statistically significant differences in the level of students’ satisfaction with a fully online virtual school in Arkansas based on their eligibility for Special Education services? 5. To what degree has a fully online virtual school in Arkansas satisfied students’ and families’ reasons for having selected it over a traditional brick-and-mortar school? The case study of the virtual school in Arkansas was assembled from data collected through a survey of students and families currently attending the virtual school along with semi-structured interviews with fourteen selected participants. The investigation found that there were four major themes that surrounded students’ and families’ decisions to attend a virtual high school: social and behavioral issues (either personally or with peers), a desire for more flexibility, negative experiences with teachers and administrators, and academic motives. This study confirmed the existing literature regarding students’ and families’ reasons for attending a virtual high school. The investigation also found that virtual school students requiring special education services were more satisfied with their decision to attend this particular virtual school than their counterparts who did not require special education services. Finally, the study found that parents of a particular virtual school studied were more satisfied than the students.
