Show Notes
Alabamas online public schools, powered by K12, are thriving, serving nearly eleven thousand students across three academies. These programs, including Alabama Virtual Academy and Alabama Destinations Career Academy, have seen significant enrollment growth and boast impressive graduation rates and college readiness scores. Despite operating on less funding than traditional schools, they cater to students from disadvantaged backgrounds, English learners, and those with disabilities, with zero percent chronic absenteeism. These results demonstrate the potential of online education to deliver progress without harming public education.
