Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

they really helped me out with reading my grade level because the school I was in before had me reading 4th-grade level and I was in 7 grade. But you also have to have motivation because a lot of the work is on your own but with the hard work I was reading above average and I have high As and Bs.

This is my first year as a high schooler in Connections Academy, I am used to public school but because of coronavirus I am attending online school. It is a big difference from public school. You have to manage your own time which can be difficult for me. Overall it is a good school, plenty of resources. There isn't muh interaction between students which is a bit of a bummer. It is nice being able to sleep in a little bit and take my time getting ready and then just hop on my computer and do my work.
