Wang, Yinying; Decker, Janet R. – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2014
Despite the relatively large number of students enrolled in Ohio's virtual schools, it is unclear how virtual schools compare to their traditional school counterparts on measures of student achievement. To provide some insight, we compared the school performance from 2007-2011 at Ohio's virtual and traditional schools. The results suggest that…
