Abstract

As the K-12 online learning student population increases so does the diversity of students choosing to school online. This shift in student population includes students who are considered economically disadvantaged. This research study examines the impact of prolonged poverty (3 years of being economically disadvantaged) on the mathematics achievement of online students in grades 3 through 8.
