- Students with special needs – there are many kinds of special needs students who may not fit in the traditional classroom despite having the cognitive abilities to pass high school. Online schools are great options for them.
- Students who are sickly – missing school a lot can be problematic for students; it affects grades, school engagement, and self-esteem. Students who get sick often might be more fit to go through online high schools so they can have time to recuperate and learn at their own pace.
