Full-Time Online School• Full-time online schools, also called
cyberschools, work with students who are enrolled primarily (often only) in the online school.
• Cyberschools are typically responsible for their students' scores on state assessments required by No Child Left Behind.
• In some states most full-time online schools are charter schools.

District online programs
Level of activity not well known but varies by state
Often involves: • Creating online options for the first time• Moving from one student segment to broader
student populations• Blended or hybrid instead of fully online
• Credit recovery appears to be a leading driver

District online learning progression• Small % of districts offering comprehensive
online options—likely no more than 10%—but number is increasing fast
• Decision-makers are often school-based but moving towards district-wide decisions
• Key factors are cost, competition, and addressing gaps in opportunities
