Virtual High School – Initial Evaluations

So I’ve been working on a project and using some of the old, original evaluation and research conducted on the Virtual High School, and it dawned on me that this material has moved A LOT.  It was on the VHS website at one point, but no more.  It also was on the SRI International website for a long time, but only the third year evaluation is there now.  Finally, it was on the Concord Consortium website for some time, but no longer.

So here are the resources that I know about from those first five years – and where you can find them (assuming you still can, as there is one that you can’t).
