Abstract

This study included quantitative and qualitative methods to provide an in-depth exploration of the parameters of at-risk student virtual education environment. Surveys were administered to teachers, students, and support staff. The connection between school resources and learning are discussed in this study. The results of the study provide insights into how students struggling through adverse situations can be transformed into successful high school graduates. The study makes a lucid understanding of how virtual schools can enable students in at-risk situations to graduate from high school, contrary to views in literature.
