The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. 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.

I did 3 years of my high school career online at Washington Connections Academy and it was the best decision I could have made for myself. I personally craved the independence that was just beyond the walls of my first high school, and I was able to achieve that with this online public high school. I had time to get a job and work where most of my peers would be stuck at school until at least 2:30pm. I had the opposite experience, I would go to work and head home to catch up on assignments for the day/week.

It is good if you have the self-disipline. It offers very good academics, but wish it had more involved class.

I love how it allows for a flexible schedule so I am able to work around softball, and work. Also, the teachers are very supportive, it is very easy to set up appointments to talk one on one and they are always helpful. When you get behind, or struggle in a class they make sure we stay u on top of it and encourage us to finish it and get it done the best we can. They are also understanding of our daily lives, for example if you miss a day and don't do any school work they have no specific due date so we can turn it in as soon as we can, which makes us students feel less pressured by time so we can make sure we did our best job accurately.

Great school when parents understand technology somewhat and are willing to help their children adapt. The system and curriculum had a recent revamp which ABSOLUTELY helped and made it way more user-friendly. They need to hire a couple more advisors, especially with the rising popularity of the Runn...

I have been a teacher for 17 years and this is the most confusing, disjointed, non engaging curriculum and online program I have ever seen. I spend two hours a night previewing lessons just trying to figure out what exactly my daughter is supposed to be learning and how to make the curriculum make s...

This school was exactly what my daughter needed (graduated June 2022). She was able to work around her health issues and schedule and at her own speed. The teachers were also readily available and very helpful.
