Best online schools

I am in the process of looking for online schools for my 13 year old daughter - year 9 - likely asd although she has been diagnosed with GAD.
She is at school but is missing a lot and I feel it's time to make the decision to do something now as things aren't getting better.
there are a number of online schools around - it would be really helpful to have other parents / carers perspectives and recommendations
thank you

Portland Place in London has a hybrid school (in one or two days a week and online the rest) which is excellent. You can also do full time at home if you want (there is a kid in France, for example, who does just that). They don't provide teaching on that day you are supposed to go in, but you can just use it as an opportunity to do your own things. Good quality of teaching, and small classes. However, the amazing head of the hybrid school has just left to form a competitor with Dukes Education, so hard to know what will happen going forward...

I have heard good things about Minerva and King's Interhigh, but it seems variable as to precisely how much actual "teaching" you get. Some online providers seem basically to point you at youtube, set some work and then have someone mark it. The harder thing is to find somewhere with actual timetabled lessons and a regular teacher. That is the great thing about Portland Place (and by the sound of things, the new schools Ms Baig is going to set up for Dukes).
