Academics
The school has been provisionally accredited by the Northwest Association of Accredited Schools since 2006.
The academic record of Connections Academy in other states was called "spotty" by The Oregonian in 2005, comparing the 1:50 teacher:student ratio to the 1:20 ratio of the Clackamas Web Academy.
Of the eight high school students in 2008, three dropped out and five are still in high school. (There were no graduates that year as the 12th grade was not added until 2009.)
Location
The academy office is located in an office in Mill City, Oregon. Since the school is online, the physical location is largely a matter of formality, and does not reflect the physical location of the school's servers, instructors, etc. The school lists the location as its administrative office.
