Use of online credit recovery is a growing trend across the country, with the hope that expanding credit recovery options through online courses will help students get back on track toward graduation (e.g., Atkins, Brown, & Hammond, 2007; Gemin, Pape, Vashaw, & Watson, 2015). But expanded use of online credit recovery for high school…

Identifying effective credit recovery strategies is critical for getting students back on track. Online courses are now widely used for credit recovery, yet there is no rigorous evidence about the…

Rickles, Jordan; Phillips, Meredith; Yamashiro, Kyo – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2014
Between 1990 and 2012, the percentage of 13-year-olds (most of whom are 8th graders) taking algebra more than doubled, from 15% to 34% (National Center for Education Statistics, 2013).
