May 13, 2008 Public Schooling in Cyberspace In the wake of a recent court ruling, the status of virtual schools was uncertain. A legislative compromise allowed them to continue, but an enrollment cap likely means the issue will return in the near future.
Virtual school students are more likely to be female and less likely to be minorities than students in traditional public schools. On 2006-07 reading tests, virtual school students generally outperformed state averages; on math tests, the results were mixed. Districts with below-average test scores and high levels of homeschooling were more likely to have students enrolling in virtual schools.
