Are Virtual School Graduates College and Career Ready? Evidence from a Comparative Survey
Ian Seth Kingsbury
Journal of School Choice, v17 n4 p524-541 2023
A survey tasks young adults who graduated from virtual charters managed by a large education management organization to assess the degree to which virtual schools prepared them for postsecondary and career success. The same survey questions were also administered to a nationally representative group of American adults ages 18-29. Overall, comparison of survey responses reveals that virtual charter graduates report statistically significant advantages when it comes to career readiness and mixed responses with regard to college readiness. Implications are discussed.
