Is connections academy a good homeschool or online school?

Anyone have any experience with K-12 online school Georgia Cyber Academy or Connections Academy?

• Please can you tell me your experience or opinion and please don't forget to tell whether you or someone you know tried online school.

• Answer:

  I have not used GACA myself, but I know several that have. I personally know 12-15 families that have used it, and I am on several homeschool lists with dozens of others. From what I have seen, those who were homeschooling their children and switched to GACA hate it. Most of them pulled their children out within 3-4 months. The only ones who kept their kids in were ones who were preparing their kids to attend public school the following year (in all 3 cases the parents were divorcing and mom had to go back to work). However those who pulled their children from traditional public school and enrolled them in GACA love it. GA Connections Academy is new this year, and I do not know anyone who has used it. At one time when we first started homeschooling I was very active in the movement to get a CA cyber school in GA. My overall impression of the curriculum and the companies business policies is that CA is much better than K12.
