I would recommend this school because you can learn at your own pace. I went over a lot of material in a short amount of time. I finished in a few months and everything I learned was useful.

I have two daughters with experience in the Penn Foster High School program. One daughter completed the program. She was very focused and self-motivated. She finished it in 9 months. The school does not "give" all the answers to the students. The program sends the student the reading materials and gives practice tests at the end of each section to test comprehension. It does provide the answers to the practice tests but only to help the student learn. This is a program that sets the student up for success. The tests that must be either completed and mailed or completed online do not have the answers provided for the students.
My daughter that completed the program then enrolled in college. She started out in a "transitional program" that gives her some of the foundational education she needs to be success in the traditional classes that follow.
After my first daughter completed the program, my second daughter needed to finish. She is young with two babies at home. The online program gives her the flexibility to do the work when she finds the time (when babies are sleeping), and is boosting her self confidence. She is about 1/3 of the way through the program. They send the material in small manageable chunks so the student (hopefully) will not get overwhelmed but instead will be encouraged. If they get any answers wrong, they provide the page number to where the student should reference to learn.
I think this is a good stepping stone to encourage someone to complete high school and then move on to the next phase of his/her educational life.

Oh and no I didn't feel that I was "fed" the answers. I actually had to look through the book for mine. I mean yea for the self checks in the books they had the answers but that's just to see how much you've learned. Now when it comes to the exam no they don't just give you the answers. You actually have to do your part and study, but that's with any online or offline course you're taking...

I found that the high school program was helpful. I actually learned a lot more than what I did when I was in school. They sent me all my books and materials on time. I actually just finished the high school courses the other day. So I will be getting my diploma soon. With any online course(s) you decide to take, you have to really put your mind to it in order to learn, benefit, and to just get through it. It takes a lot of hard work to stick with it. Just like anything else.

penn foster high school course is useless and doesn't teach you anything. i currently left the course (choosing to)because i need to learn, not be fed answers. it doesn't feel legitimate, and now i'm left still paying them back over $1200 for a cheap useless course!
