Okay, I just looked at something.
NCAA, NJCA, etc. are all sports affiliations. National Collegiate Athletic Association, National Junior College Athletic association, etc. If you do not plan to play sports, either in high school or college, forget about these. They do not matter.
A diploma is something you hang on a wall.
A transcript is what you use for further education and/or work, as proof of completing a course.
A US Today ranking is not going to be at all indicative of what their online high school programs are like, and neither is their enrollment size. All that really tells you is about the undergrad/graduate/research aspects of the college/university. You ought to be looking at what courses are available, who is teaching them, how many classes their faculty are handling (a very TELLING point for many online schools), and, I know you don't know yet, if the credits will be accepted at college of choice.
BYU HS says it is a secular focused program. The # you quoted, is that enrollment in the hs? The whole University? Or all together? Utah is bound to have a large number of home schoolers, so it makes sense that their HS programs are big. However, same issue with TT, except with military families.
