CAT Test on its way out?

I just read that Oregon no longer accepts the California Achievement Test.

Do any of you use online school options for your children?

I'm seriously consdering doing ECOT for my kids. I'm just wary... because to me, it seems almost too good to be true, and I don't know anyone who has had any firsthand experience with it.

What are your opinions on online schools?
