Nationwide, nearly 30% of students do not graduate from high school, and many school districts are eager to find a way to retain these students. The economic consequences of this high dropout rate are severe both for students and schools.
The national average for per-pupil funding in 2006-2007 was $7,500. By preventing just 10 students from dropping out, a school district will recover $75,000.

Over 1/3 of high school dropouts occur in 9th grade. EdOptions Online Academy's online curriculum offers pre-assessments to determine students' skill levels and high school prep remediation courses that focus on the material they need to enter high school fully prepared.
Our online high school and middle school courses offer at-risk students in any grade the opportunity to catch up to their cohorts. The flexibility of online learning means students can work at school or at home to recover credits they need to graduate.
Our Safety Net program is designed for those students who cannot or will not graduate on time with their class. EdOptions Online Academy can step in to and enable students to either recover or earn credit in their final year of high school. We work with each individual school to make sure the student can catch up and still graduate on time. For more information on the Safety Net program contact us.
