Ohio DL Schools

After reviewing the five schools, I think I would pick Ohio Connections Academy. The website at first glance was visually appealing. I was immediately drawn in. The informational video made a big difference too. I had goosebumps by the time I was done watching it. It made me wish I had gone to an internet school rather than public. I think the personal stories really sold me. There is so much information available about the school at first glance of the website. I like that the school emphasizes the focus on the students. Their FAQs page answers really important questions. It discusses standardized testing, students with learning disabilities, and how this school differs from others to name a few. I like that the website also has a tab on proven results of their program being successful. All these factors considered, I would pick this school.

The school that impressed me the least was the Virtual Community School. The website was not well-organized and did not seem to provide nearly as much information as the others. It also appears to not have a FAQ page. I liked the informational videos that gave each of the schools a personal touch, and were all on the home pages. On this website, the video did not really grab my attention like the other ones did. It seems like they quickly threw the website together. For being an online school, you would think that the school's website would be a first priority. Parents like to have their questions answered right away. With the other websites most all questions they have could be answered on the website. With Visual Community Schools, parents would have to request more information to get a better idea about the school. This is why I would not pick this school.
