I find it interesting that while Northern Lights ABC and Polaris K-12 have diametrically opposed educational philosophies both schools score high in academic acheivement--the only commonality is parental involvement (Charles' last sentence in the article says it all--his mom helped start Steller.)  

If you desire your student to do well in school, then BE AN INVOLVED PARENT in your childs education. Parental involvement is basically the key to student sucess.

BTW if you are not satisfied with the school your student is attending, please check out PAIDEIA Cooperative School--a hybrid of homeschool and in-class sessions.  It's kind of a "Steller" Homeschool program--we work with you to customize your childs Individualized Learning Plan. It is an awesome program (in its third year) and the ratio of students to teachers is 15:1 for the in-class sessions.
