EdgenuityReviews 405

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.

I'm currently using this website to recover 2 of my class credits. I'm behind on it because it takes forever to get through a chunk of the small videos. Why not just make them all one video and move on. Or even better, make an alternative to the videos and make a power point to be used in stead. Some students learn better with reading then videos. This is good for people who like to take it slow but for those who just want to get over the assignments should be allowed to get through it faster. I'm several days behind because the lessons I'm given take so long to get through with. >:(

(My school bought the ability to use this website not me)

My 10th grader was traumatized after completing the world war 2 hitler era of concentration camps and more then 18 assignments on this she was dreaming about death camps and methods and then when they finally wrapped up that they switched to massacres in other countries, I want my children to learn about this period of history but my god not to where she is having nightmares. And have heard teachers state they are not sure of items but still teaching on ….

My son used to love learning and when I introduced him to edgenuity he was so excited. But doing that was the worst mistake I ever made. Edgenuity lowers a child's morale and charges them so much work to do in so little time. He was a straight A student until edgenuity came into our lives. He lost his passion for learning all together. I tried to make him like learning again but after his experience with edgenuity he says that learning sucks. And if I'm being honest learning doesn't suck EDGENUITY SUCKS!

What a waste of this this is! I wonder how much time was spent creating such stupid model of studying!
It confuses the child, takes their love of learning away.
Words do not make sense, problems don't add up and a robot voice is just the last thing u need!

My son is in Edgenuity. There idea's of school programs is a freaking joke. My son is in 6th grade and his physical science class is in all reality a chemistry class that I was taught in 12th grade. He's freaking 12 NOT 18 teaching basic science should include some of the chemistry but NOT solving chemical equations. Plus the very first thing they tried to teach him was the periodic table again show it explain in some detail. Now let's move to World Geography this is move like a government or civics class I mean really how is the Political geography have anything to do with land formations and normal geography. As far as I'm concerned this whole program is a DAM waste of time and needs to be look into.

My daughter started this program on the fall of 2021. It is absolutely the most useless program our school district could have used. The subjects have nothing to do with what they are actually learning in that particular grade. She had a tech issue that kept her off for 10 days and was never able to fully catch up. I also blame the school for this issue. Besides being absolutely boring and setting the student up for failure, I believe this program did not educate my child in any form. Its truly horrible and if your school district goes with this, just go to school. Its not worth it. My daughter is going back to school. It wasn't because of covid, but because she has extreme anxiety but she would rather try to cope with the anxiety than deal with Edgenuity for one more semester.

Edgenuity is a very bad website because of its unskippable videos and how boring it is my school has been using this website for our schools "SWARM program" and the teachers call it "mypath" and every time i try to explain to my teachers of how this site is extremely bad it is they will brush it off so every day in my swarm class i have to sit though it every day im tired of working on this website and i want it taken down!

I am an 11th grader right now, I moved out of state to the Caribbean for my dad's work but wanted to keep an American curriculum. My school had an online learning database for students who were moving out of state or country that wanted to keep in the district. Our main learning platform is Edge, and let me say I have moved 11 times in 16 years and have never, ever had a worse schooling platform. This is by far the absolute worst way to teach kids. It's demotivating, worsened my depressive episodes, has awful service and the videos are like 20 years old. If your a parent reading my review please head my warning and DO NOT CHOOSE THIS SITE. Please for your kids pick something better.
Edit: I've been reading more reviews and please discard the one that say 5 stars, there either delusional or getting paid. I no absolutely NO ONE who likes this site. I've been a straight A student for 15 years, this year I got 2 C's and 2 B's. Don't take this course unless you want to have severe depression and want to end your existence.

I've been using edgenuity as a student for two years; it is by far the WORST learning platform I've ever encountered. The people in the videos sound like their held at gun-point and are forced to do this; nothing is interesting about the videos either, It's just a person explaining how they solve a problem. There is nothing special about the problems either, its just plain boring.

I'm in 7th f****** grade and I can't f****** complete this 10 almost 11 hours of f****** work I started this morning at 8 a f****** m and it's 11:00 f****** p.m. and I f****** give up I'm done I'm f****** done edgiunity and f*** everybody who else who thinks that it's a f****** good site

This app forces students to follow a strict guideline, which makes it impossible for students to follow along at their own pace. It holds kids back, and makes other kids move at a pace they aren't ready for.

As of the beginning of this year, my school went online and signed everyone up for this site. I am not sure who decided this was a good website to learn from, but they made a huge mistake. At first, things seemed ok. Though the teachers didn't seem too care much about teaching, or really know what they were talking about, it wasn't too bad. Flash forward to today, and I have countless overdue assignments because of how ridiculously tedious everything is. This is how the website is set up: watch some videos of inexperienced teachers overexplain obvious things while underexplaining fundamental rules. After the videos, do an assignment, take a quiz, and repeat. There is hardly any variation, and way too much busywork. There are never any interesting activities, just the same thing over and over. I used to have all A's in school. I have since been getting mainly C's, some B's, and an occasional D or E. Unless you are prepared to learn absolutely nothing, I cannot recommend anyone sign up for this.

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

All Edgenuity has done for me is make me want to kill myself. I never had any motivation to do my work properly, and it barely taught me anything.

Plz just take this home school website down google class room is better i pray to jesus i never have to do this again

This is hell, I hope my school lets us pass because this is not a good program. I was a A's and B's student, and now I have all f's and I have to do 500+ more lessons to get each class done to pass. Please I beg you Do not put your kid through this. It is not google classroom
