THE Journal: A new research study has found evidence that full-time students in one particular online public school, Connections Academy, can attain the same level of achievement as that offered at traditional public schools and that they may be better positioned to succeed than they would in other virtual schools. The research was conducted by Gatti Evaluation (hired by education technology company Pearson) over the course of the 2016-2017 school year, peer reviewed by SRI International and audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers. Pearson owns the company that runs the academy. The school system is a tuition-free online public school for 70,000 K-12 students in 27 states. (It also runs tuition programs for students in other states and countries.)
