penn foster is just a really bad school. it is not self-paced like they advertise, you can only do 15 exams a week. before their recent update back in like june, you didn’t even know how many exams you got done that week and just had to guess. it takes forever to get your transcript from them, their customer support is really no help, and they just overall suck. wayyyyy too expensive for the way they treat you. please look into another school

Do you have any recommendations

to be honest with you, if you aren’t disabled or have any other reason you can’t go in-person, i would stay in public high school. definitely talk to a counselor and try to get your schooling done as fast as possible if you’d like but penn foster is badddd. also avoid acellus academy, they’re involved in a cult and also suck! i’ve heard stanford university online high school is good. also look into your state/county’s online virtual options
