As a student enrolled in Marietta City Schools, Geogerian, 14, struggled with his grades, had difficulty focusing on his school work and got himself into a lot of trouble at school. His parents, Daniel and Emily Geogerian, decided to enroll him in the Ohio Virtual Academy, an online school, for the first time this school year, and so far, things are going well. “He’s a really bright kid but just gets distracted easily, and so the home environment … it’s just different from his peer setting where he’s distracted and wanting to make poor choices and say things to make people laugh, so it’s been a good fit for him this year,” Emily Geogerian said. Noah’s not alone. According to data from the Ohio Department of Education, as of June 2010, there were almost 30,000 Ohio students enrolled in e-schools full-time.
