The editors of Value Colleges have ranked the best online high schools in recognition that education has fundamentally changed in recent years. Even high school education has to be recognized as something customizable and unique to each individual. "Sometimes a high school student finds that obtaining their diploma in a traditional brick and mortar setting will not fit their personalized needs, or that they struggle to succeed in such a setting," according to the editors at Value Colleges; "In other cases, students fall behind in the classroom and need a way to supplement their learning, or students are not having their advanced academic needs met in a traditional setting and they wish to get ahead." As the editors explain, "These are just a few of the many ways that an online high school can aid and support the various needs of high school students today."
The editors caution readers that "It is important to choose an online high school that is accredited […] Accredited online high schools will provide students everything they need to both graduate and pass the strict aptitude tests such as the SAT or ACT tests that colleges rely on to help place students in the appropriate college courses." As the editors explain, "An online high school that is accredited will closely monitor your students’ progress and challenge them with courses that will allow them to continue to move forward. Students who study online will often advance much faster because they have fewer distractions and less time is spent performing activities they have no interest in. They are able to fully commit to their schoolwork and focus on the things they feel are most important." Moreover, "Many accredited online high schools offer college-level courses that students can enroll in once they begin to show that they are ready for that level of education."
