Best online high schools in America
When the COVID-19 pandemic abruptly forced schools online, students, teachers, and parents needed quick lessons in virtual learning. Some transitions went well but many faltered, and even after nearly a year of living with the pandemic, school districts are struggling to facilitate online learning as much as they face challenges with safely bringing students back to school buildings. In the process, America’s education system is leaving behind many minority students and poorer students who lack easy access to internet services, potentially widening the economic and racial gaps. Children with disabilities or who are learning English are also particularly at risk for falling behind.
