Utah's online Electronic High School leads the nation in student enrollment

I do EHS full time after going to many schools trying to find one that I wouldn't get into trouble at. I love doing it online, I am out of all the high school drama and can sleep in everyday! It is completly worth it, and you get more education because you have to find the answers on your own and not just copy things out of a book without even reading what you are writing. There is no way that I would ever go back to a high school, It's like being graduated all ready because you can do it on your own time. I can't even say how much I enjoy doing school online!

I am doing EHS too, but the classes seem to be way too easy to be as effective as in class work. The site gives you 6 months to finish .25 credit hours - way too much time! This does NOT prepare you for college or life or anything. College is hard, college you have to actually TRY to work, and do it quickly, college is stressful...I just don't think that you learn a whole lot by doing high school online. But that's just my opinion.

I was going through EHS.
They told me before signing up that books ect would be supplied, they were not, they did not even have any! An EHS counselor gave me a list of books to buy, very expensive, and hard to find.

While I was enrolled I did not receive any help with my math, and could not progress.

I got out of the program.

I just signed up for this, and am awaiting my submission (if that is the correct term for it). I have heard both good and bad things about this site. Hopefully things are good for me, as this is only a temporary situation for myself.
