One of the greatest challenges for students and parents seeking a legitimate online high school is whether it is a real school with real accreditation. Here’s a little advice:
1. Don’t trust Google to help. Google does little to differentiate between good and bad options in this field.
2. Don’t trust how high a school shows up in listings on Google, Yahoo, Bing, and more. When I do a Google search, on the very first page, I discover schools that I would never recommend because I believe that, at best, they lack any reliable recognition and, at worst, are out-and-out fakes. That’s on the first page.
3. Fake schools are very good at getting good page rankings. They spend much time working to make sure that they are one of the top options available.
How can you fix that? If you ask about a specific school in the forum, I am happy to help.
