I get an email every time he finishes an assignment, which is fine, but I cannot look at the essays he writes or find a list of work that is due and turned in or not turned in. I have used other parent portals that give a dashboard with all the critical academic info necessary for a parent to gauge how their child is doing and where they may need assistance. I would like to see a little more effort go into transparency for parents. My son recently wrote and essay that I would really like to read, but I am unable unless I am not using the website correctly...

My experience at Forest Trail Academy… My experience at Forest Trail Academy has been positive. Learning is good and guidance is quickly available.

An excellent alternative to traditional school! Great for those who want to be able to pursue their passion and studies at the same time. Forest Trail Academy offers an asynchronous and self-paced program. You are in control of your studies and you can access your classes anytime, anywhere as long as you have an internet connection. An excellent alternative to traditional school!

Our son competed ninth and tenth grade… Success: Our son competed ninth and tenth grade with Forest Trail Academy. He then transferred to Running Start at our local community college. When he took the placement test, he was able to advance into college classes due to the excellent currulum he had completed with FTA. FTA taught hm effective study skills to succeed. He has now graduated with his high school diploma and AA degree.

excellent alternative Easy to use format, quick turnaround on assignments, great flexibility (can complete one class at a time or work on all of them at the same time). Always quick to respond to questions and helpful when we have called as well. My daughter has learned way more than her peers at the local high school because there are no group assignments-she must do everything which means she learns much more, yet can go at her own pace.
