Donna Baumgardner; Stephanie Atchley; Holly Lambert
International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, Paper presented at the International Conference on Social and Education Sciences (IConSES) (Las Vegas, NV, Oct 19-22, 2023)
The number of students leaving traditional face-to-face public schools and moving to online school environments continues to grow. The National Center for Educational Statistics reported that almost 300,000 K12 students were served in a fully online environment for the 2019-2020 school year (US Department of Education, n.d.). This study investigates the impact of online and traditional learning on student achievement, specifically focusing on students with disabilities. The study used descriptive statistics to analyze state standardized testing data retrieved from the Texas Academic Performance Reports (TAPR) from three school districts in Texas to compare online schools and traditional face-to-face institutions from the 2020-2021 school year. The findings reveal that online schools outperformed their traditional counterparts. This research highlights the growing significance of online programming in K-12 education.
