In the middle of night, students at Utah’s Kings Peak High School are wide awake — taking mandatory exams.At this online-only school, which opened during the pandemic and has seen its enrollment boom ever since, students take tests from their homes at times that work best with their schedules. Principal Ammon Wiemers says it’s this flexibility that attracts students — including athletes and teens with part-time jobs — from across the state.Any student who feels compelled to cheat while their teacher is sound asleep, however, should know they’re still being watched.
