According to a new report from the National Education Policy Center, which operates out of U Colorado Boulder's School of Education, there were 338 full-time virtual schools operating as part of a public education system in 30 states in the 2012-2013 academic year. That's up from 311 the previous year.
Initially there were 111 schools on the list (the Top 100 Engineering programs and the Top 100 Computer Science programs, with considerable overlap) organized in two separate ways: in descending order from highest-rated to lowest-rated, and in descending order from cheapest to most expensive.
