"One of the worst charter schools in America is a fake online school called K12 INC. This darling of Wall Street has an annual dropout rate of more than 50% and a graduation rate of less than 30%. In this chapter, we will show that K12 INC is simply one more billionaire we-pon of mass deception against our public schools. The real purpose of K12 INC is to rob tax payers of billions of dollars and rob children of their future."

I work at Stride k12 and it is an excellent school system. I teach high school and very few of my students do not graduate. Some students will go back to a public school when they hit high school because of the athletics or social activities but they are not dropping out, just transferring.
And the response rate was 2.1 percent...
Wow, this is a BS survey. It only includes K12 grads, but the graduation rate of these schools is abysmal. That's cherry picking the sample.

So who believes the Stride hype?
