Edgenuity is AWESOME
February 25, 2021

It is one of the best learning sites I have ever attended. I get updates on maintenance and the teachers are amazing, and even A little funny. I recommend using this site. Daily.

My daughter is nearly 18 and has used Edgenuity successfully for 2 years. She used a different service before Edgenuity, and that was terrible, but Edgenuity has been head and shoulders above everything else she tried. She has actually enjoyed using Edgenuity more than going in person to her high school with nearly 5000 other students. Edgenuity has been a god-send for her during the pandemic.

My older sons have been mostly remote-learning for their college classes and Edgenuity is comparably good. This is the future, so if you can't deal with this, you'd better learn to deal with it, because if you go to college, you're only going to get more of a similar service.

If you're using Edgenuity for your school, it must be used in conjunction with real people at your school who you meet with weekly so you can voice any concerns or problems to them. If your school is crappy, don't blame Edgenuity. We've been using it for 2 years this way and it works well, unless you're the kind of person who needs constant pushing by people in your face to do your work. If you're that kind of person, let's face it, self-starting remote online learning is not made for you.

Good but
February 22, 2021

I like this schooling a lot, but please stop assigning so much. And sometimes my work from the day before won't save. And please let us skip videos, they're a waste of time.

Quick response
December 10, 2020

The program has worked well. Anytime students have come to me with issues and I contact support, they respond quickly with information that solves the issue in a way that is helpful.

Edgenuity is garbage
February 12, 2022

I think that edgenuity is garbage and that it's the worst program that was made by students to ever exist and the glitches are as bad as the program itself and overall I just hate edegnuity so much, and I just think that this program is just stupid and its trash and it belongs in the trash and I am not satisfied with this program at any level.

Mothers Review
July 26, 2018

I home schooled my 3 kids for years and over the years we have used several different computer/online programs. This one is the worst school I have seen yet!
The links are broken and don't work with Microsoft computers or EDGE. Because of that my kids were unable to work on the ridiculous amount of writing assignments and we had to switch to Internet Explore and have unfiltered internet on their computers at school and at home. Not being able to protect our family is really something the school needs to fix. Oh and calling the service line was another huge waste of time. They fixed nothing even though they said the problem was their top priority. 6 months of this and they never fixed it!

The waste of time having to sit and watch hundreds of boring, low volume, repeating videos. I have never seen my kids sit so long at their computers wasting their time! I also found out the videos are outdated, by 10 years! English has changed in 10 years and the amount of propaganda seeing coming through the videos is outrageous. Teach English not moral philosophy please! I am beyond frustrated with this whole process, watching my teens have to stay up until 3 am at times, And believe me they were all crying at some point in this program. They spent more time on this school then all 5 of their in school classes! It is a waste of taxpayer money, time and resources. A filler at best to fill a need, but a complete waste!

DONT USE THIS
March 21, 2023

It is very dull and confusing it expects us to teach ourselves by reading translations and taking notes the tests are more complex than the stuff they teach you and it is very easy to get distracted you can also skip submitting something accidentally and not get to redo it or look back at it. I don't think anyone I know likes it, it also puts a lot of pressure on students to get 5 hours done a week.

DO NOT RECOMMEND this was written by a student

For unknown reasons, Edgenuity abruptly changed all student passwords overnight, as in Thursday it was their original and Friday (10/23/20) it was new. Parents were unaware of the changes, teachers were unaware of the changes, request for the changes was not on our end according to bosses. I only found out the changes due to reaching out to other teachers. Some of them found when checking, that the passwords were changed and it was recorded in the teacher list within the site. I checked mine when parents reached out, the passwords had remained the same. I was perplexed but sent the one other teachers said would work. It did. I contacted support for help. The email message said, thanks for contacting, they had no idea what was going on. I called the support. The gentleman told me it was my computer that was at fault. I update my device regularly and shut it down daily. It had not updated student passwords until today, 10/27/2020. Every time a teacher reaches out for support, we are pushed back on as something that is our problem and it can't be fixed on their end. Also, content areas are weak and filled with errors.

Terrible Audio
November 26, 2020

I'm a student doing virtual and the quality of the audio is terrible, I have my laptop on max volume and still can't hear the instructor very well. Then, when you use headphones or Airpods it LITERALLY sounds like your listening to an Alien distress signal.

The Edgenuity promotional video claims that this curriculum adapts to student needs. I haven't experienced this at all. The basic framework for the courses is linear, so you can't skip around or choose what you're working on at any point. You have to fully complete each assignment regardless of whether it's doable or even beneficial to you. I don't see how that can be marketed as adaptive. Additionally, the course has every single assignment planned out from the moment you start it, so it really doesn't change based on the student. Actually, it doesn't seem like it's been updated in at least 10 years. I am enrolled in both Algebra 2B and Spanish 1B and I've basically given up on the Algebra course at this point, because trying to do both of them is just too tiring. In in-person learning I used to be a top student in both of these classes. It's really disappointing for me because I have no way of making up the credit.
I can only really speak for the Spanish 1B course, but my general experience has been going something like this:
-Extremely outdated coursework
-Lack of subtitles in audio-based assignments, just generally not accommodating
-Crashing

Horrible
January 13, 2021

The stupidest thing I've ever seen. I was mad when I saw my son's grades until I experienced for my self how poorly set up this system is. Gives no explanation on how to do what they want you to do.

Our school district used Edgenuity as a replacement for in person Global Studies this year. My son has always been a straight A student and has all A's in his "in person" classes. He has been frustrated with the content of the Global Studies class all year long. After hearing his frustration for three months I told him it could not be as bad as he described. I agreed to sit with him through a set of videos. After reviewing the videos I watched him take the ten question quiz at the end. I was shocked at how little the content of the videos helped to take the quiz. Many of the questions asked had little to nothing to do with the video content. The video presenters were not very clear and went way too fast in covering the content requiring a "stop and go" format to take notes. After taking the quiz three times he finally mustered a 70. I contacted several teachers with my concerns. Most who had observed the content agreed it was put together poorly and was far too difficult for the grade level. If you are considering this form of curriculum I would advise you make sure the teachers themselves review the content of these classes and actually take some of the quizzes. I would be surprised if a lot of teachers that took this class did not have issues making a decent grade themselves.

Take it from a student
February 8, 2022

This is the worst thing i've ever encountered in my life. I'm a sophomore in high school and I had to take geometry to keep caught up and it's the most stressful, annoying, uniforming thing i've ever seen it's hilarious how bad it is. It's so boring not trying to be interactive what so ever. But the thing that makes me the most mad is the actual learning. IT DOESN'T EVEN TEACH YOU HOW. For example it will tell you how to do the most basic problems then it gives you problems it hasn't taught you how to tackle, yes it's the same thing but with many different steps and you ask for help and after you get it wrong then you it doesn't show you how to get the problem right so you never learn you just keep messing up until you fail. It's absolutely horrible never in a million years use this, use anything else

Your kids WILL lose all motivation in school. If you read kids experience with this they WILL tell you 99% of the time they find it terrible, dislikable, awful. The videos you can't skip yet they'll put the answers to your question in it but the "instructors" if you can even call them that are really just yapping the time away the whole thing is based on time. Time these kids don't have and they make it take as long as possible it's actually ridiculous I've personally had to watch a 36 minute speech it ate up litteraly all of my time. Whoever made this was obviously JUST in it for the MONEY and it SHOWS period.

I have taught math with an Edgenuity product (Odysseyware) for over 10 years. The product, at least for math, was poorly designed, is not engaging, and contains many errors. It is not at all user-friendly for the student. I was designed for credit-recovery, so intended to be "hands-off" so there are no real communication protocols in place. There is a rudimentary messaging system, but so way to add supplementary material or clarifying information to lessons. It is basically a fake school because a student can be enrolled, pass courses and graduate without learning any content knowledge. This is a problem for ALL students and horribly depressing for teachers. I have had a student finish a course in 2 days and earn a credit without reading a word because all of the decades-old questions are available word for word on brainly.com with the exact wording of the correct answers at your fingertips. Even a good, honest, hard-working student would be frustrated because the lessons are inconsistent and as bare as possible. OW has replaced any organized instructional material with videos of an actor reading some presentation. There is no way for the student to go back and see examples or copy information for notes. The content is so old, and errors so plentiful that it's unbelievable educational commissions would approve the curriculum. The lessons are so monotonous that students get bored, and even the well-intentioned students start taking shortcuts. If you want a credit, or a diploma, you can get it here, and collect the federal funding for your numbers. If you want to learn math, go somewhere else.
