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.

Being an online school, Ohio Connections Academy does what it can. It is at a severe disadvantage in subjects such as math, due to the fact that there are no in-person teachers to guide their students. They do, however, do a phenomenal job at preparing their students for college (which I would understand due to the numerous college classes I have taken in high school) because of their encouragement of their students to study and learn on their own.

The best part of Connections Academy is the flexibility I have to complete my high school classes while attending College Credit Plus program at the local community college. This has given me a fantastic high school education and thoroughly prepared me for college.

Ohio Connections Academy was an awesome experience. I would like to see way more clubs and connecting students with one another. I would also like to see more hands on learning in classes.
