Abstract
This evaluation of a virtual high school determined that achievement in online courses was equal to or better than achievement in regular high school courses. Because of its rapid expansion in enrollment and course offerings, a virtual high school in a Midwestern state undertook a comprehensive evaluation initiative to ensure the quality and viability of its programs and services. The study of over 2600 online student enrollments found that online delivery of high school courses fulfills a very real and practical need in the high school curriculum, especially for students in small or rural high schools.
