Question: I've posted this 3 times today please give me some Information on online Homeschooling for high school?

Ok to make the story short I really don't fit in at my school. I have no friends no nothing I just started high school and it is a lot to handle! I live in Ann Arbor Michigan and go to an Ann Arbor public high school. I really want to be home schooled really bad. My family does not have the money to buy a Home Schooling teacher or buy programs online. Today I talked to my school about this. The only thing that they offer for online classes is 1 or 2 online classes. Like history and math. I am really really trying to find free sites for online schooling. I know that k12.com does not have the program for Michigan yet. Please help I really want to switch over soon!! I have my own internet access so I don't need to use a laptop I heard some places let kids barrow them!! 10 pts to the person that has the most links or Information I am looking for!!
Is their a list of FREE online schooling for Michigan?

Question: Can anyone provide a list of online non-sectarian Homeschooling Programs and statistics?

Any information is welcome, however, please state whether or not you have personal experience with this. I can 'google' schools but I am hoping to hear from people who are actually using online Homeschooling Programs.

Regarding statistics, I am looking for test scores as compared with those of public and private schools.
boy this is a tough one.. ALL great answers. I'll put to vote.
Thanks, everyone!

Answer: We use the K12 curriculum that is mostly delivered online. There is a lot of offline work also. It's not an "online HS'ing program" like you said, it's just a curriculum that happens to have an online component. We purchase it ourselves as independent homeschoolers.

Some virtual schools use the K12 curriculum also. They are all public schools and so their students are public school (schooled at home) students. It's not "pure" HS'ing.

The K12 virtual schools, since they are public schools, have state assessments just like other PS's. You can search the 'net for each state's virtual schools and see how they rank with the other schools in a state.

As for my son, who's used K12 for five years, he scores in the 99th (and 99.9 for those that give that precision) percentile on all standardized tests. Last year he took the EXPLORE test from ACT and his composite score was better than 90% of 8th graders, who the test is made for. His science score was 99th percentile when ranked against the 8th graders. He was 8 at the time. So there's a statistic for you.
