COCHISE COUNTY, Ariz — According to the Arizona Department of Education, the state had a 6% drop-out rate for high school students last year, which is higher than the national average.
“We are obligated to educate all children and we need to change how we see education,” said assistant superintendent for New Crossroads, Wendy Conger. Chloe Finley attended multiple schools in Cochise County trying to find where she fit in. She dropped out last year, because of bullying and not feeling heard by her teachers.
Chloe, who says she's not the biggest fan of online school, says she likes the program so far because the teachers are working with her. The online program allows Chloe to work at her own pace and around her work schedule. She says she's moving through her course work faster than she would in a classroom.
