Juan Rodriguez is right. This is my daughters second year in this school. Last year was amazing. The staff was responsive, the principle was on top of things, and the students enjoyed learning from their teachers. The teachers are still amazing and they’re the only reason I’ve toughed it out to try and complete this year.

My daughter did not receive her books this year.
After complaining several times to the staff, and yes the principle (I have emails to prove it)…My daughter is still without books and we’re into second semester.

During one of these “made up” mandatory in person tutorials, twice a month by the way…AND OUR STUDENTS HAVE EXCELLENT GRADES!!!..all the way in Lewisville!!! I was told by one of the parents that her best friend is on the staff at this school and this school has lost a lot of its funding because students are dropping out left and right…so these made up mandatory tutorials is their way to get funding for the school?

First of all…the students have excellent grades.
Second…this is an online school…if the students have to travel to another city just for tutoring…then why in the world are you an online school? That doesn’t say much for your curriculum and abilities as educators.
Are you in this for the funding or what?

Now the teachers are the best and they make it easy and fun for the kids to learn…We absolutely love the teachers.

However, things must be difficult for the teachers too because they’ve been leaving and “transitioning” to other areas.

I don’t know who’s in charge this year…but someone should step in and get things back on track.

Until then…I’m transferring my daughter.

My husband and I chose remote learning due to my serious health conditions and my son’s asthma. Covid could be serious for our family. I thought k12 was an answered prayer, but it has been an incredibly frustrating experience. Administrative staff has been non-existent. This is my second year and only because of 1 dedicated teacher and a newly hired administrator was I able to finally speak to a human after a full year. They make it impossible to reach anyone. The website has issues updating grades in the system so my child’s grade book will show 0’s when I’ve watched her complete those assignments. The teachers don’t believe her, or her grown adult mother when we report these issues. I have to push to get them to investigate only to find I was telling the truth. Some will direct us to tech support, but they never answer. IF they do, they never actually complete tickets. I’m still waiting for a ticket to be resolved from last year. The teachers are our only point of contact and they have 200 students so they can’t act as admin and tend to the numerous amount of tasks teachers have as is. We’ve had issues with bullying, students spamming the n-word to shut down chat…teachers are sharing their racist/ bias views with students and social platforms. It’s a mess.

This is our first year with K12 so we weren’t sure what to expect. It was a bit scary in the beginning but once I talked with teachers and ADMIN staff about concerns they helped prepare us for what was to come. The videos that come with enrollment are a MUST watch so you are as prepared as possible. The first week was a bit stressful getting used to the process but at the end of week two we are champs! All we had to do was contact teachers by email and it made it MUCH easier and they are QUICK to respond! My daughter is ADHD and as a teenager is learning to live without medication for her diagnosis. We started the year with at home learning with her brick and mortar school which she did better in than the in room learning. In TWO WEEKS she has retained more information with TVAH than she did in A MONTH at her brick and mortar school and at home learning. This is before we have talked with Special Education Services (for the ADHD). So far she is an A student!! This was the BEST move possible for my daughter. If you want a great education for your kids enroll now!!!
