(EMAILWIRE.COM, February 15, 2012 ) Houston, TX -- Lincoln Academy is an online high school diploma program that offers adults alternative options other than getting their GED online. "Why settle for a GED", Sarah Samuel, a Lincoln Academy Student Advisor said. A high school diploma is much better than a GED and with so many options online for adults to earn their high school diploma, there really is not a good reason for people to still get a GED.
A study shows adults who earned their high school diploma online and adults who earn their GED online saw a significant difference between the students getting into college and becoming employed. The study resulted in 96% of people who earned their high school diploma thru Lincoln Academy's online home school went onto college or received a much better paying job. However, students who earned their GED, only 18% went onto college or received a better job. With these findings, it is obvious that employers and colleges value a high school diploma more than they do a GED.
There are many great online schools that offer adults the chance to earn their diploma. A high school diploma can do wonders for a someone who never graduated but you want to make sure the school you attend is an accredited school. An accredited high school diploma is much more valuable than a non-accredited diploma. Almost all colleges and job employers require a student to have an accredited high school diploma when applying for admissions or for employment.
As the Lincoln Academy study ended, it was concluded that the reason the conversion rate of their high school graduates attending college or receiving a better paying job was so much higher than someone who earned a GED, was due to the fact that Lincoln Academy's high school diploma is worth more than a GED.
