Our family tried Connections Academy for Kindergarten for our son Damien. I am disabled and do not drive, so we thought that virtual school was right for us. We found that the cirriculum was not challenging and that Damien's social development was suffering from not being around other kids in a regular class. When it came time for him to go into the first grade, we enrolled him in the traditional public school, and he is accomplishing a lot more now, both academically and socially.
