The Experiences of High School Students in Virtual Learning during the COVID-19 Pandemic in North Carolina, USA

Josna Gosavi & Phyllis Caldwell-George

Abstract

On March 11th, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 as a worldwide pandemic. Days later, students across the United States began attending school virtually. After nearly a year of learning virtually, Forsyth County schools in North Carolina reopened for those who wanted to attend school in person. As such, most students in this county have attended school online at one point or another. This paper aimed to investigate exactly how high school students adapted to the digital learning environment. For the most part, high school students prefer to learn face to face. Our analysis revealed that students missed socialization with friends and extracurricular activities the most out of the given choices. Additionally, students chose math as the subject they believed was the hardest to learn virtually. According to our survey, 95% of college-bound students want to attend college in person.
