K12 Reviews

We have been extremely pleased with this online homeschooling program. We currently have four children enrolled, and our family has had nothing but positive experiences from the very beginning. The teachers and staff have always been supportive, helpful, and responsive whenever we have needed assistance. The curriculum is well organized, easy to follow, and allows our children to learn and grow at their own pace while still receiving a quality education. We appreciate the flexibility that online homeschooling provides for our family, and our children have thrived in this environment. We highly recommend this program to any parent who is considering online homeschooling for their children. We truly have nothing but good things to say about our experience and are grateful to be part of such a wonderful school community.

This is our fourth year with High Point virtual Academy. Each year my children have had wonderful wonderful teachers. This year their teachers were Mrs. ** and Mr. **. They are both great teachers. I enjoy watching my children grow and being able to observe them in class and seeing how much they are learning. However, I did learn something from this year, and that is when some students are using headphones and they think you’re not paying attention because you have more than one student to pay attention to their grades drop. I experienced this with my daughter Mia. Some other teachers to mention this year that were great our Mrs. ** and Mrs. **. I love the patience that Mrs. ** and Mrs. ** offer the students. All of the teachers that we have encountered at High Point have been wonderful. I want to make that clear. Thank you for another great year at High Point and we look forward to another great year in 2026 27.

The school and its teachers have truly made a lasting impact, and it’s something I feel deserves to be recognized. From the moment you walk in, there is a genuine sense of care, dedication, and encouragement that sets this place apart. The teachers go above and beyond what is expected of them, not only focusing on academics but also making sure each student feels supported, understood, and valued. They take the time to listen, to guide, and to uplift, even during difficult moments.

Volunteer State Virtual Academy (VSVA) is a state-wide public school with no threshold requirements for enrollment (for now, current TN legislation might force threshold requirements). VSVA serves a variety of students, from those entering already multiple years behind in school from their previous learning environment to those intellectually gifted who need to skip a grade in certain subjects in order to stay engaged and soar as high as possible academically. The teachers and staff at VSVA are very in-tuned with needs of their students, both emotionally and academically, and take a lot of their time to help meet those individual needs of their students. It's a virtual learning environment, but has live classes.

What can I not say about VSVA virtual school. My two grandsons are doing very well. My one grandson struggled so hard in public school nobody gave him the time or listened to his needs or his disability of learning. He was struggling so bad always getting into trouble bullied teacher even he was having issues due to his learning disability of not reading. The teach in public school didn't help him. Now he is calm learning at his level. He gets the help he needs one on one when needed. Virtual school is the best for my two grandsons. Now my grandson is reading some eventually he will be on his grade level. He has come along way since we signed up. This was the best thing for him and his brother. They are truly wonderful their teachers principal and stuff. They are always in touch daily with us parents.

School year was great. My son got to learn on his own pace. Still needs more improvement but he will get there.. Hopefully this new year, he will learn a lot more. Hoping teachers are more patient and more understanding of my child..

The experience was great. Teacher great. Flexible program. It worked out really good for my family’s schedule. The clases are easy for my daughter to follow and the material sent was really good too.

The calendar issues and changing overnight are really crappy, when trying to plan around the classes and courses for other things. I think the hall should be a little stricter when it comes to school work and classes, so there is more accountability for the kids, ensuring they take their work seriously. Y'all were better 13 years ago. Also, there has been assuming kids are doing something when they ain't our are something when they aren't and it isn't your place to treat kids like that. If y'all fixed these problems there would be great potential.

We are very satisfied with the progress our kindergartener has made this school year. I am amazing with him and so thankful for K12. I was worried about the social aspect and how well he would focus since it’s online, but his teacher was so supportive and engaging. My son can now; read, write, and solve math problem. We are excited for next year!

I had a great experience at K12. The admin was very responsive. The teachers were engaging and always responding quickly to emails by parents or students. The curriculum was good. I loved the flexibility of my kids being able to do school from home. They had great contests options available to students: Minecraft challenge, art contest, etc.

This is Aiden's grandma writing this review. Aiden is right now doing the Star 360 for reading and each question is timed. He has an IEP and reading isn't his strong point and he doesn't even have time to actually read the paragraphs let alone pick an answer so I have told him to just mark an answer. Other than that we love the school.

My son has been with FLCCA since 6th grade, and he’s now finishing up 7th. He had a wonderful year, and all of his teachers have been amazing. He’s grown so much, and his grades are great. I have nothing negative to say. Thank you for offering this program.

Love this school, online courses are very easy to access, teachers send communication every day to student, brake out rooms are available, the teaching skills are easy to follow, Love the good job Ms. ** is doing on a regular basis. My student is happy with his classmates, & his teachers. Also if there is absent on the teacher's side she usually informs the parent prior. STATE TESTING was excellent communication and easy to locate the testing sight. My family is extremely happy now 4 yrs with K12… Tech support is awesome as well & very swift to help get my student back online… WE LOVE K12.

We have had such a great learning experience. She has learned so much this past year in kindergarten. We are very pleased with the program and teachers she has had. She has had a wonderful year. Thank you.

The teachers really care about the students and do they best to make sure all students be successful in school. Also I noticed that my son is doing very well online school than when he was in public school.

I think 1 star because this school is bad and was being rude. Think this school should be shut down. 😡 I hate school ** so yeah school #### stinks.

K12 is genuinely one of the worst schools in the country. I've been online on there since late 2023, and teachers don't do anything to help students. Counselors get annoyed when students and/or guardians reach out and ask questions. My school has refused to give me a new laptop after my cousin broke mine. The website is buggy and gets hacked often. Overall, if you want your kids to do online school, don't enroll them at K12.

My son had so many struggles with his Autism in public schools, but since joining K12 he has felt so much relief not only from getting to be in his own safe space, but because the teachers are so understanding and make him feel heard.

TNVA has been an awesome school for my child. She has excelled in everything. Learning, responsibility, and it has helped with her anxiety all together as far as her schooling goes. Love K12. She is learning on a level she could not achieve in public school due to issues she has with anxiety. She takes school more serious and actually wants to go to school now.

The Customer Service Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. They go above and beyond to get the job done. I would recommend K12 to everyone. If you are interested in online school for your kids give K12 a try. You will not be disappointed.

Love K12 VSVA, teachers are great about communicating with parents, and students. My kids love the school and teachers are great at being sure students understand their material. Both our kids have improved academically since switching to k12 2yrs ago.

After reading these reviews they shouldn’t be denying anyone, however they denied my son for excessive absence also but my baby is sick. They said I needed more info to fight his case for enrollment but after seeing the reviews I will try another homeschooling program. Thank y'all so much for the honest reviews. Dodged a bullet.

I’m not exactly sure what you want to know but my experience with this school was horrible. I have a 8 year old that is in third grade. He had two math teachers. Mrs ** and Mrs **. I pulled my child from this school because Mrs ** got an attitude with him over the computer in class telling him that he exited out of a test. When I heard what was going on I went over there. She claimed that Nolan exited out of a test and turned his camera off. He did not. Right after that she said, "If you exit out the test I have to unlock the test." Nolan was taking his test so she never unlocked nothing for him which proves that he never exited the test.

The lack of communication. The Administration is terrible to say the least, at Florida Cyber Charter Academy. There have been multiple mistakes for years that's been made in regarding our children's IEP's. God forbid, if you want to advocate/voice your concerns in regards to your children's education aspects is concerned they silence you in every way possible. They end your IEP meeting abruptly. Without proper cause/permission or make the statement that this isn't the meeting for this. The teachers some of them are the worst when it comes to education. They lack compassion & empathy when it comes to education is concerned. It's been six to seven months, and some of my children are just now receiving Tutoring services after complaining to any and everyone who would listen. It's almost the end of the school year, with two months left, what's the point?

Honestly I would not recommend this school at all. They give way too much work and it’s overwhelming for no reason. It feels like they don’t even care if students actually understand anything, just that everything gets turned in. The teachers don’t really seem helpful either, it kinda feels like they’re just there for a paycheck and not to actually teach or support students. Also, having to wake up super early just to go take LEAP testing in some random college building is so annoying. Like nobody wants to do all that, especially for an online school. It defeats the whole point and just makes everything more stressful. Overall, it’s just not a good experience and I wouldn’t suggest it.

My kids are capable of advancing faster, but the tuition-free program deliberately slows them down to fit state grade-level rules. If I want them to move at their own pace, I have to pay $4,000. This isn’t education—it’s compliance training, monetizing the freedom that should be guaranteed to every student. Public funds are being used to restrict bright kids, while the paid program sells the ability to actually learn. Parents, be aware: your child’s potential may be intentionally sabotaged for funding rules. This is unacceptable.

I have done K12 for 2 in a half years now. This school sucks so bad. They assign way too much work. How am I supposed to do a bunch of assignments that are due during 4pm when I have classes back to back. Sometimes I even had classes at the same time and had to attend both classes and do the work at the same time. It is so overwhelming. If you’re looking to put your child in homeschooling k12 is not the best. It’s the WORST. The new system is so confusing. My sister did all her work and had perfect grades but they withdrew her saying she had bad attendance. That is a lie. They use ai for attendance. If your camera is off for a little second they count you as absent. I think this school should do so much better. Stop using ai dude. It sucks.

I have tried to search many many many things on my school laptop and it blocks almost everything Bible related and I am VERY VERY angry about it. I give a one star because of that alone. Jesus is my everything and I WILL NOT tolerate this. Trellix blocks it all and leads me to EXTREMELY unhelpful sites when I try to search anything Bible related. NOT HAPPY!! Especially because this is what schools should actually be teaching. When I search up things, it will either show for a moment or be blocked immediately. I can see that Trellix has it as a verified source which almost makes me believe that there is a person on the other side who is blocking it.

I’m only halfway through K12 and it’s been the worst experience I’ve ever had. The work is so overwhelming, It’s A LOT of work, and the worst thing is they only give you until 10:00 PM to do everything. It honestly isn’t the students' fault for having multiple missing assignments because at IN-PERSON school, they literally give you MULTIPLE DAYS to do assignments, yet at K12 online school, it’s all due at 10:00 PM! I’ve literally lost multiple days of sleep because of this school, juggling between working on current and missing assignments.

It’s horrible. Children learn nothing. The new layout is so difficult you will never be able to find any missing assignments. Teachers are rude and are no help. Had to do star testing which is a very important test and you have to do it in a live class and the teacher “missed her alarm”!!? We were waiting for almost an hour.

If you're concerned about your kid's education, DON'T sign them up at K12. All I know is my child couldn't sign in. I called and got a lot of nonsense and was told to contact the administrator's office. I was on hold forever. They ended up unenrolling my kid right here at the end of January!! The stuff they had was so confusing. Today I had to sign my kid up at the local middle school. I was told he might have to go to summer school.

The geometry teacher, Mrs. Acha, is so bad! I've been in this school for years and I have never been failing a subject so bad. This teacher makes class sessions so stressful and sometimes I can't even get myself to go to her classes because I know it'll ruin my day. Her accent is too thick and you won't be able to understand what she's saying, she overcomplicates everything and makes it so much harder to learn, and she forces her students to get on mic, even if they don't understand the work or know the answer. I've requested multiple times to change teachers, but the school won't let me. I have seen other students also saying these same things about her. They are now making another math teacher join in on Achas lessons to see if the students are participating in class. If that's not a sign that they need to fire her then I don't know what is.

I highly value my child’s education, and I would not recommend this school to anyone. The faculty and teachers lack support, professionalism, and communication skills. This school system does not set your child up for success; it provides a poor education.

Our granddaughter is starting homeschooling this semester. Her parents choose K12, as the online program through the Missouri Public system. I'm a retired Math teacher/administrator with 40+ years of classroom experience. I will be spending each every day with her as she works through this maze of an online system. I would avoid this program 10,000%! While the adults are nice, this is not a program geared to teach children. The adults talk for their time limit, but teach little, if anything at all. The computer program is extremely difficult to follow and nearly impossible to locate the work necessary for grades. The busy work is unbelievable, as the students are stuck behind screens which must be followed, even it the student knows the information.

When I first enrolled my child, I was excited to see they had classes meeting daily. The platform was and is a hot mess. My learning coach account never worked the whole time my child was enrolled. I called tech support constantly. The technical support is a joke and does not provide much assistance. Teachers and principals never return calls. The platform would not allow me to enter attendance at all which presents truancy issues. My son could hardly access homework to turn in and when we reached out to teachers they wouldn't provide assistance or any help to access. The online platform is in no way user friendly. Tech support is a joke and is not supportive.

This school gets roughly 4k per student per quarter. If you’re thinking, "Wow that’s a lot that goes towards the kids." You’re wrong. This school is a scam. The teachers are in unprofessional settings like bedrooms on FaceTime calls. Knowledge is not being learned here. You log into a platform that is extremely unorganized and hard to follow. Teachers are impossible to get ahold of. The actual “classrooms” are just a waste of time. No learning is happening in this school. It’s no different than public school. A waste of a child’s day. But at least with a public school I can justify where the funding went with P.E. and lunches and field trips. This school just collects every penny and then tells my kid to fill out truly pointless papers as his education. 16k a year they receive roughly for each child and yet we have to borrow a computer. The money is not being spent on resources to further improve his education.

I joined K12 Private Academy, and it was a complete disaster from start to finish. The teachers were distant, unhelpful, and acted like they couldn’t care less about their students. Anytime I needed support, it felt like I was shouting into a void—no one bothered to step in or guide me. The lessons were a mess: confusing, poorly explained, and left me feeling more lost than before. Instead of motivating me, the program drained me, making school feel pointless. It was obvious that my progress didn’t matter to them, and the whole setup was sloppy and disorganized. Honestly, enrolling there was one of the biggest mistakes I’ve ever made, and I wouldn’t tell anyone to waste their time on it. With no real teaching and zero support, learning was practically impossible.

Horrible. Do not waste your time. I had 5 kids enrolled let me tell you. Since the first day of school is was bad. The classes weren’t loading for about a week. So they started the 2nd week of school. They were behind the quizzes or live classes wouldn’t load. The assignments wouldn’t load or they had issues with them showing up on their calendar. I tried calling the school the K12 support & I never got ahold of anybody. I sent out emails & never heard back until a few weeks later & I got a call back from support 2 months later from when I had called!!! Ridiculous system. I withdrew all my kids & will not recommend this program! It’s a huge headache & your kids will start feeling overwhelmed. I was overwhelmed myself.

Extremely disappointed went through all of the painstaking enrollment process, received the equipment, started the classes, petitioned for a special education teacher for my son, they then reviewed us and denied him based on his behavioral. My son can't attend regular school and because of some issues with ADHD and some other things and so I feel that he's the perfect fit for this program but I also feel that if this program is just for the lazy student that don't want to attend regular school while they can go to regular school and that my tax dollars should have every bit of validation and his enrollment and I don't feel that I should be paying tax dollars for something that doesn't provide an education to my child or any other in his situation.

The entire program is horrendous. The k12 customer service is mostly foreign people that give different answers each time you call. Unfriendly and unhelpful. Enrolling is extremely difficult and shouldn't be!! You get annoying calls but some teachers (math) NEVER return calls when help is needed. Some teachers are great!! The counselor was so bad, we didn't even want to talk to her. They will not help when needed, but will harass you with nonsense often. The lessons are not engaging.
