As a veteran teacher, I have been most impressed with the lessons on Edgenuity. The content is solid. The lesson process is a scaffolding process which is exactly what should be taking place in the traditional classroom. The quizzes and test are thorough. They do require more than rote memory. They require that you have paid attention to each lesson and can apply the information presented to you. THIS is where traditional classrooms are deficient. Many times the teacher makes the class wait on students who were absent or have special needs. Edgenuity does not make you wait. You are only accountable to yourself.
Edgenuity is probably the most grueling educational website of all time. You are forced to watch unskippable and very boring lectures that feel forced and extremely unengaging. It's also really easy to fall behind since you are given assignments every day. If you are finding an educational platform for students to use, DON'T choose edgenuity.

Tip for consumers:
Don't use this horrible website!
Edgenuity is literally a disgrace. I had to do it for summer break and I went on vacation to 2 places, and I still had to do edgenuity. I did the 7th grade accelerated math course and I literally felt like smashing my computer into pieces. It's so boring, I always get side tracked because the videos are so boring and monotonous. I think districts use edgenuity because its very cheap. I am a person who usually listens to boring things and still learns but Edgenuity made me learn absolutely nothing. If I could give 0 stars I would.
Tip for consumers:
Just avoid this site in general. Please instead of thinking about price, think about your childs interactivity and them actually learning.

Teachers don't understand the subject, "correct" answers on quizzes are often incorrect, can't even hear the audio from half of the videos we need to watch, teachers talk in an extremely degrading way while not explaining anything, scheduling forces you to stay behind on classes if you need to take a test, answers to questions on tests are often not covered in the class. These are extremely common complaints and nobody has done anything to fix them since it was created. I learned more from watching 6 hours of math youtube videos than an entire math course on this terrible website. If you wan't to do this to get ahead for school during summer or something, then I recommend you use a bot skip through the assignments and learn on youtube instead, it will be a much better use of your time.
The people who talk are very monotone and boring and the content is very repetitive. The videos could take 10 minutes long,when it could take 2 minutes. > :( Wish I could rate it 0 stars.

Edgenuity Review:
I'm in the math course on Edgenuity, and my experience with it has been far from satisfactory. The most glaring issue is the video content. The videos yap on endlessly without allowing you to skip through them, making the experience incredibly tedious. The inability to skip these monotonous lectures not only wastes valuable time but also fails to engage students effectively.
Moreover, the overall structure of the lessons feels uninspired. The content is dry and doesn't cater to diverse learning styles, making it difficult for students to retain information. The interactive elements are minimal and do little to break the monotony of the video lectures. It's also alarmingly easy to get sidetracked, as the content fails to capture and maintain student interest, leading to frequent distractions.
To anyone considering Edgenuity for their educational needs, I strongly advise against it. The platform seems more focused on presenting information in a rigid, unengaging format rather than facilitating genuine learning. It becomes apparent that the people running Edgenuity are more interested in profit than in providing a quality educational experience.
The company's approach seems to prioritize revenue over student success, creating a system that churns out content without regard for its effectiveness. The lack of genuine interactivity and student engagement indicates a fundamental disconnect between the platform's creators and the educational needs of its users. Save your money and look for alternative resources that offer a more interactive and flexible approach to education. No one learns effectively from Edgenuity's method.
More people in my school are dropping out/unable to graduate because of this website, and yet, my school will not find any other website to use. Half of the information the classes give you is either eight years out of date, completely wrong, or just downright useless. They give you useless information that will not help you out of high school, even if you pursue the role the class teaches you about. The classes are not up to date. The newest classes I have/am in are from 2020. We have discovered so much more from then to now. Edgenuity does not deserve a 1 star, it deserves to be shut down. I, and others I know, have a strong grudge against this website that we call an "online learning platform."
Nah because why was I told i would get to work at my own pace with this... EVERY DAY I got these 4 lessons, that I learn nothing from, because they are short, immemoriable, boring, and the subjects themself get thrown at me waay too fast-paced. So all this, somehow all at once? I dont feel I'm being educated, I feel i'm learning to memorize. So then, I go on and I do my lessons, and I only just learned how many there are a day. Maybe! Just maybe... that would have been helpful to know before I GOT 4 HOURS BEHIND. Like? Why doesn't this program tell you anything? Not to mention once the answer on a problem that it said was correct, and i was wrong- was wrong. I have actually never despised a program more, maybe its my false advertisement being told that I would get to move at my own pace that provides me to much disdain for it but, god. This program is seriously awful. I'm not learning jack lol, and i actually wanted to.

I'm absolutely sure this website was made by neurotypicals who hate students that have adhd/heavy adhd symptoms. As a student with Adhd, I find this website to be the worst website I have ever been forced to use. If you tested me on everything I "learned" from this website, I would get an F. This website not only uses Ai, gives students weeks of work and expects them to do it in one day, it also demands that students only get 80% or higher. Failing the student and forcing them to restart the entire lesson if thru get a 70%. And I find that disgusting. Teachers and schools, if you ACTUALLY want your students to succeed, NEVER use this mistake of a website.
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.

This might be the worst online schooling available, they dont know you, care about you, and want you to get it wrong so bad. And the "teachers" just make everything harder and, in my opinion, suck at their job. They basically say "Hey, hope you are doing good!" Thats it. If you are considering switching to edgenuity from another form of school, dont waste your time.
Tip for consumers:
L site
Im a student who takes this so called "online learning program" if you could really call it that, this program is completely dry boring and outdated. What edgenuity basically does is throw information at you and call it a day so you have to sit through 5-6 hours of boring and annoying teachers who dont know what they are doing.
Edgenuity is by far the worst online learning platform I've ever encountered. It's breaking our kids' spirits, making them hate learning and stressing them beyond the breaking point... For those who really matter, it's a 1-star learning platform at best (and that's pushing it).
Tip for consumers:
DONT USE THIS $#*!TY SITE

Edgenuity markets its platform as an "engaging challenge for students" or something generic like that. It's not even close. The courses are all outdated, hardly updated, and incredibly boring and formulaic. It is not even close to being engaging or fun in any aspect, and the quizzes, assignments, and tests are incredibly misleading, intentionally difficult, and often ask for answers to questions that seem irrelevant. I've had more fun watching paint dry than using this platform. Parents, educators, or even school administrators, please do not use this as a way to educate. It may pass under your state for quality education, but there are far better alternatives such as iReady or IXL. Both take their time teaching in a way that makes sense.
Tip for consumers:
Too much stress overall. You're better off finding the cure for cancer than expecting this to perform good.

The school purchased an account for me as a student
In short, this is the lowest bidder option. Edgenuity teaches nothing other than why going for the lowest bidder is not an effective or sustainable way to operate a school system. It lacks in every way, from the way it presents information, to even the way it grades work. For example, you can complete a short response question by typing the necessary number of sentences, then adding every keyword you can think of that relates to the question (see the image below). It is clear the no though or effort went into the design and programming of this program, and that the founders don't care about their users, as long as they get money from purchases. If you are an educator and use this program in any capacity, other than as an example of what not to do, shame on you.
Tip for consumers:
If at all possible in any capacity, avoid this program at all costs. Use alternatives, like Canvas LMS or Kahn Academy.

Imagine Edgenuity
My kid who normally has a 3.7 now has a 3.2. The "teachers" dont seen to care about them fat, ing tests. If a student falls behind like mine did because of wrist surgery it has taken her almost 3 weeks to get in the a 6 hour mark of catching up. Since my daughter can't write she had me email her "teachers" for notes. One out of the 4 responded. Also she is being expected to write 10 page papers that are to be turned in by the end of each week. I am having to type her papers. My student is not learning anything because this site focuses too much on deadlines and score rather then making sue the students are learning.
My daughter attends a charter school where they use this platform for 90% of their day. She has always been an A and B student and now she is failing everything and falling more and more behind every day. Any teacher knows that there needs to be a certain number of "touch points" before you can learn something new. The lessons do not come anywhere near providing enough touch points. And when she fails a quiz, the whole lesson locks up so you can't go back and see what you missed. I don't know what "kind" of learner one would have to be to be able to successfully learn anything on Edgenuity.
Edgenuity bought the old Calvert Education, but failed to tell existing customers. Then, they changed students to their extremely different and tedious platform. Many parents left the program resulting in loss of money that was never refunded by this company. They do not deal with their company acquisitions in a responsible manner. Their product is run-of-the-mill credit recovery.
I am a teacher who has used this program in class. I have had complaints about all the glitches that have happened. I've heard things from losing progress when using a different device, all the way to it auto submitting quizzes if you close the computer with an unfinished quiz. I feel like this doesn't even help any students. My students have said they haven't learned anything on this platform, and that it's the most boring website ever.

I am a teacher and what would have taken me less than 30 seconds to fix took over 3 months. Just needed the misleading wording of a test question to be fixed. Submitted ticket 11/13 and was fixed on 2/18. In between just messages saying we apologize for the delay and are reviewing the submission. If it takes that long that tells you the volume of issues far outweighs their staff to fix them. It's the most counterproductive system for teachers not to be able to edit content once they create their own copy of the course. Also, the most time-consuming platform for grading and entering grades.
While Edgenuity's middle school curriculum is accessible and aligns with educational standards, it disappoints in crucial areas. The platform lacks interactivity and adaptability, and it doesn't incorporate real-world applications to engage students. Additionally, assessments do not align with lesson content and appear to be designed without a solid understanding of outcomes-based learning. Even with external tutoring, this curriculum has resulted in family stress and student demoralization. Edgenuity needs a comprehensive reevaluation to better serve student and family needs.
Tip for consumers:
Do not use. Stay far away and save your children from this awful experience.

Edgenuity that was included as part of school tuition and purchased (wasted) with a state scholarship.
So basically i used edgenuity to do my entire junior year and it was the worst experience i've ever had with any kind of education website. The pre-recorded teachers gave me nightmares, 90% of the information can be found copied and pasted on the internet. I did not learn a single thing.
Worst learning program ever! I would know because I've been doing this crap for months. The worst part is that once you've agreed to do edgenuity, you've already agreed for the WHOLE school year! It's WAY too easy to get behind, and I've just had the worst experience with it. If it would let me, I would give edgenuity 0 stars. I'm sick of it.

The agent explained to me that such a repot does not exist. This is just another flaw in your program. Odyssessy Ware offered the report. A teacher could put in a chosen date(s) and see exactly what a student had attempted or completed in that time frame. You don't offer that... terrible!
