What Parents Should Know

At 34 students, Tonka Online K-5 is on the smaller side. That usually buys more individual attention and teachers who know every kid by name, with the trade-off of fewer electives and extracurriculars than a larger school can staff. Ask what activities it actually offers.

At 8.5:1 students to teachers, Tonka Online K-5 sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.

Tonka Online K-5 is a virtual school, so instruction happens mostly online. That flexibility suits some kids and frustrates others; it asks a lot of self-discipline and a steady setup at home. Think about whether your child learns well on their own, and ask how the school keeps students engaged.
