This must be the most common question that I receive. Unfortunately, it is also the question that is the most difficult to answer. Can I give you an answer? Sure, but first you need to tell me:

1. In which state do you live?
2. Do you prefer working in groups or alone?
3. Are you able to pay to attend?
4. Are you comfortable with technology?
5. Do you prefer to do more of your work online or off-line?
6. Is your preference for 100% online or is some face-to-face acceptable?
7. How much interaction do you want with other students?
8. How much interaction do you want with teachers?
9. Will you need additional support in order to be successful?
10. How available are your parents to support your efforts?

And on. And on. And on and on. You get the point.

Importantly, even if I had the answers to all of those questions, I still could not tell you the name of the best online high school. What I might be able to do is tell you the name of the best online high school for you.

And that should be more than enough. Because, of course, unless you are doing a study of online high schools, you really only need to know which is the best option for you.

All of that being said, I am going to showcase a few schools this week to give you an idea of what is available out there.
