Online education/Virtual schools [View all]

Does anyone have any experience with these schools?
My daughter, who is going through some serious trauma(mental healthwise) right now has outright refused to go back to school.
We have asked friends if something happened, bullying etc at her brick and mortor school, and they all say no.
We had one on one's with her teachers a few weeks ago, before she stopped outright, and they all said the same things about her, "Smart, engaged, participates in class, quirky, interesting and thoughtful ideas..." on and on...all glowing words any parent loves to hear.
She is in grade 9, so now we are more than likely going to grant her wish of getting her education online(at least through grade 9)
This is one place we are looking at - http://www.k12.com/wava/home

Anyone have any other suggestions that would include Washington State?

Thanks in advance for any input, we're flailing here and it's pretty scary. I don't want a talented smart kid to fall through the cracks.
