Ohio DL Schools

When asked to pick a online school in Ohio, I thought this would be a no-brainer.  My son was enrolled at Ohio Virtual Academy for 3 years and it was fabulous.  I chose OHVA because of a friends referral.  But, now looking at their site I cannot justify that decision.  They had so much to offer and the support was awesome but I do not get that feeling from their website.  It is hard to say that I would not chose OHVA now just because we had such a positive experience.

The site that I was most impressed with was Connections Academy.  It was all there!  They seem to answer all the pertinent questions and then some.  They had testimonials along with FAQs that were very helpful and it was a very polished site with pages and pages of useful information.

I was really disappointed in Virtual Community School of Ohio.  They did not provide anything on their site.  You were to 'request information'.  That was a real turn off.

I got the impression from both ECOT and Virtual School House that they were targeting a certain type of student.  ECOT appeared to me to be focused on high school age or near graduation.  They seem to stress college acceptances and graduation.  Virtual School House seemed to me to appeal to African Americans and to Cleveland residents.  Most, if not all, of their pictures were of African Americans and all the school activities were in the Cleveland area.
