Alpha Omega Academy a Promising Alternate to Struggling Online Schools

According to The Jackson Sun, Education Commissioner Kevin Huffman has ordered the online public school to close at the end of the school year unless student test scores show dramatic growth. Huffman's order stems from Union County School District officials' neglect to inform parents of an agreement that would have prevented any new enrollments at the online academy this year.

If the school doesn't show improvements by the end of the 2014-2015 school year, 626 new students, as well as returning families, will be forced to seek alternate online options like Alpha Omega Academy next year.

Alpha Omega Academy's accredited online program serves students in grades K-12 across the nation and around the world. With print, CD-Rom, and online options, Alpha Omega Academy curriculum caters to the individual learning needs of each student. The academy also provides flexible schedules, official transcripts and high school diplomas, and college-trained teachers who host live online classrooms and office hours each week.

Test scores at Alpha Omega Academy are above average, too. According the school's annual College Readiness Report from ACT, students surpassed state and national averages on the ACT with an average composite score of 23.0 during the 2013-2014 school year.
