I have taken courses at both an online private school and a public school and getting high marks through online private schools ain't that easy as well. In fact, there are high chances for getting high marks in public schools than private schools like ILC and VHS. When I was taking courses with an online school, I had to put in lots of work in order for me to score high marks. Again, one good advantage of online private school is the way they comprehensively teach the subjects, even literally more than we taught in public schools. Please get your facts right before posting stuffs like this. Taking courses with online private schools doesn't define how you will cope in higher institution.. periodt.
