ABOUT ONLINE SCHOOLS:

State law allows public school districts to operate online schools as public schools, which allows public school students to transfer to an online school. Students attending online high schools have the same requirements for graduation, including passing the High School Proficiency Exam, as students at traditional local public schools.
