What can we learn about the online school according to the passage?

The livestream has enabled students with poor education resources to have classes, homework and exams simultaneously with mostly middle class peers in a renowned school in Chengdu, Sichuan province. Over the past 16 years, 72,000 students from 248 high schools in poverty-stricken areas have attended livestreaming classes simultaneously with one of the best high schools in the nation, the Chengdu No.7 High School.
    According to record, 88 of the 72,000 students got admission in Tsinghua and Peking universities, the two most prestigious universities in China and most of the students went on to study in universities.
    This is what was described in an article that went viral on WeChat entitled "The screen that changes children’s destiny". It narrates how a reporter from China Youth Daily witnessed the schooling on the two ends of the livestream, the school in Chengdu and Luquan No.1 School in Yunnan province, nearly 1,000 kilometers away.
    Luquan county under the jurisdiction of Kunming, capital of Yunnan province, is a state-level poverty-stricken county dozens of kilometers away from Kunming. Due to proximity to the provincial capital, all eligible students found a way to go to a high school in Kunming, with those left behind mostly having poor academic performance. Then the vicious cycle began. The school performed badly in college entrance exam and in turn got academically poor students.
    At first, the freshmen of Luquan high school found it difficult to catch up with classes in Chengdu. Wang Yiqing, top student in her town’s high school entrance exam, failed all mid-term tests except Chinese language. She could not understand the English courses except for the three-minute English song before the class began. This was the case for most students in livecast classes. After tests, the classrooms had students in tears.
    Despite of setbacks in the very beginning, the online school has proved a success with students performing better and achieving higher in their study. Also, due to the development of education, the county is kind of revitalized. Even the housing prices have risen, according to a local official.
