Credit recovery for high school: what to compare

Most districts already have some credit recovery. The question is whether students are actually learning the material they missed. Here is what to compare before you choose an online credit recovery program.

Why live instruction matters in credit recovery

Students in credit recovery have already struggled with a course once. Self-paced platforms such as Edgenuity work for some students, but others click through without mastering the content. In credit recovery with live teachers, an educator notices confusion, re-teaches, and holds students accountable for the work. (Read our Edgenuity review for a detailed comparison.)

Credit recovery courses we teach

Most credit recovery is in core courses: English, Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, US History, World History, Government, Economics and Health, plus world languages such as Spanish. Because our catalog has 100+ live courses, we can usually cover the less common course a senior needs to graduate.

Who credit recovery for high school serves

Credit recovery for high school is usually for students who failed a course, transferred with missing credits, missed long stretches of school, or are seniors at risk of not graduating. It also works for students with IEPs, who get their accommodations, and for students experiencing homelessness, who can join from wherever they're staying.

How a term of online credit recovery runs

Students meet live with their educator on a set schedule: in a lab during the school day, after school, or in summer school. Educators grade work against your standards and share attendance, progress and grades in your dashboard every week, so counselors can see who is on track and step in early. Your district records the credit under its own policies.

Active Engagement & Certified Support

With transparent updates, stakeholders can celebrate small milestones, detect warning signs, and make proactive decisions.
