Due to the nature of 21st Century technologies now available and the popularity of school choice, both elementary and secondary school-age children may consider online learning at some point in their academic career. The purpose of this study is to answer the following research question: What are the perceptions and expectations of students attending the Granite Rock Cyber Academy? The results of the survey were presented in 28 tables. The top three reasons why students enroll in cyber school are flexibility of scheduling, health-related problems, and issues with other students. The most liked features about cyber schooling include flexibility and the absence of distractions. The most disliked facet is the amount of work students have to complete. Analysis revealed that male and female students were alike in most aspects of the survey. However, females spent statistically significant more time on average completing schoolwork than male students.
