This study examined the North Carolina Virtual Public School's (NCVPS) credit recovery program and other common credit recovery options available to students in the state. The study compared short- and longer-term academic outcome data across credit recovery options, as well as correlations between the academic outcomes and characteristics of enrolled students. Overall, NCVPS students were less likely than other credit recovery students to be economically disadvantaged, and a greater proportion of NCVPS students entered high school proficient in math and reading. However, there was little difference in short-term success rates (such as end-of-course exam scores) between NCVPS credit recovery students and other credit recovery students. NCVPS students were less likely than other credit recovery students to graduate, but those who did graduate were more likely to graduate in four years. Among NCVPS students, outcomes for racial/ethnic minority students and economically disadvantaged students differed from those for other students. [For the full report, see ED569940.]
