Virtual Charter Schools and Student Post-Secondary Enrollment
Heidi H. Erickson; Kimberly Scriber
Journal of School Choice, v18 n2 p191-214 2024
Using student-level data, we analyze the post-secondary enrollment of high school graduates across 29 states from an online charter provider from 2017 to 2020. We estimate the association between virtual charter student characteristics and the likelihood of college enrollment. We find that students who enroll multiple years in the virtual school are more likely to enroll in college. Students who are Black as well as those who qualify for special education services are more likely to enroll in college. We also use parent survey data and summarize the reasons students enrolled in a virtual high school and their college enrollment aspirations.
