Penn Foster is amazing if you want to be able to work at your own pace for high school. I did Penn Foster myself and was able to graduate two years early. The only thing is I wish my essays would be able to get graded faster, but I understand they take time to grade and read.

It was an incredible experience. I was able to do my classes and courses at any pace, pick it up where I needed to, and take a break when necessary. I could review past classes if I needed to, and was always fairly prepared for exams. If I felt I wasn't though, I was able to go back and review.

I enrolled in Penn Foster to finish high school faster. Which I did, but the quality of education they provide is absolutely horrendous. If you plan on going to college after, prepare to be completely clueless and behind almost all of your peers academically. I'm stuck at the level of education I re...
