GreatSchools Rating
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.

I recommend this school but know that in this Online Academy your student needs to know how to stay organized and on task. All the lessons are picked perfectly for you and the schedule can easily be changed if needed. Great for high level athletes.

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.
