For the love of god, do not enroll in this program. Let me just start off with the fact that this program is stressing and is the source of anxiety. As a student, I am being completely honest and speaking from experience. I consider myself a decently smart student in academics, my gpa is 4.25 and last year before this pandemic I've had all As to 1 or 2 B's. Ever since this program started, I've felt like a failure and a slacker despite the fact that I'm finishing assignments everyday. This website is very stressing, I have never been this much behind for school, I've never woken up each day with this much anxiety when I go to check my progress bar. Some how in 1 day I went from being caught up, 90.1% to being behind. I will admit I have felt stressed to the point where I considering suicide from being this much overworked.
I had an issue registering a student for the Edgenuity SIS LMS. Rather than hold, I used the call back feature and it was very helpful. Once connected with a customer svc rep, they were attentive and prompt with their troubleshooting. It was a quick fix and the student is on her way to starting the course. :)
First off. AAAAAAAA. Second off the written question system is absolute bullocks. I've had the site ask me for my opinion, and it gives me a 0 for it. Rubbish. Also, most of the lessons are fairly longer than they should be. I've been able to edit the videos to 60% of the original size by taking off repeated info alone. If you are a teacher/administrator/principle/superintendent, please from a student,
Hope that other students don't have to deal with this nightmare of a online learning platform!
The most boring website i've ever used. It's boring and long. Videos are unskippable, super boring i almost fall asleep while doing it. The quality is also horrendous to the point that it makes me laugh. If you wanna make a learning platform, DO BETTER. 0/10 Do NOT recommend.
After several days of working on getting a kiddo transferred, the Edgenuity Customer Support agent that I connected with on Tuesday went above and beyond in taking charge and making the transfer happen! I am very grateful for his assistance and perseverance!
Edgenuity's Help Desk saved me overnight! I had an overly anxious parent who couldn't access the Family Portal. I received an answer to my email first thing the next morning and assuaged the parent's concern immediately. Whew! A negative bullet was dodged from my helicopter parent. Or should I say nuclear missile?!?
We've been using Edgenuity for 10 years and witnessed great increases in our graduation rate. The program has also been extremely helpful as a teaching tool during the pandemic. Most problems originate on our side with either our data for uploads or user mistakes, but the Edgenuity support team is always extremely helpful and works until all problems are resolved. If a problem is on their side, it is resolved even more quickly. We were impressed at how effectively they stepped up to the increased demand caused by the pandemic and made modifications to their program.
For some classes the matterial doesn't match what is on the test. All classes overload students with busy work. My daughter is an A student taking all advanced classes. During the pandemic, she had to work all day, 7 days a week just to keep up. If schools go back into quarantine, we will withdraw and homeschool before using this software again.
We loved homeschool on google classroom, but I think due to edgenuity not allowing a refund, we were all made to go back to edgenuity. My kid was an A student, but we had to resort to packets, without instruction, and he is borderline failing now. I loathe edgenuity. They are a farse, and shoddy product. Way to kill my kid's love of learning, and self esteem. There should be some regulations on these products, as it seems unethical for them to be allowed to grade their own products.
I called the Edgenuity help line twice this week for two separate unrelated issues. Technical Expert Tom (I don't know Tom's actual title) helped me out both times and remembered me the second time. He listened, asked clarifying questions, and then used super sleuthing detective work to find the problem and offer a few solutions. The time between my call and my solution was less than 15 minutes both times. I have confidence that I can call the help line knowing that I will receive the support I need. I hope Tom sees this review and is recognized for the outstanding service he provides.
This edgenuity was something I put my son in as coronavirus hit. I thought this would be more of homeschool but it's not. As we were switching towards more of a homeschool type thing but this isn't homeschool. It's very boring learning, very dry, the work required is insane, the platform and stupid videos are outdated. Do not buy. This stuff has caused tears in my son's eyes as I watch him try to get caught up and struggle for hours. When I help, I can't even understand.
Terrible platform.
I am an 18 year old High Schooler on the verge of graduating, this was so bad I actually had to cheat to get ahead, I also had to use Brainly and Quizlet, I need to bring my iPad just to use Brainly cause the "geniuses" at my school have no $#*!ing idea as to how bad Edgenuity actually is, or maybe they do and they just don't care...
I am a straight a student, that was until i got this app i went from straight a to almost all D's. Do not recommend because the schools would rather give us a cheap education than a good one that will help us
After 2 months of using this platform and getting comfortable with it, we got hit with a big whammy overnight. My 1st grade student was all caught up in everything except her Science until this Wednesday, caught up in Math until this Friday. When I went to check what we need to do tomorrow(Wed.), I realized the pacing was somehow adjusted overnight. Now it's saying that she's behind again? The program itself or someone managing target due dates and pacing adjusted when assignments and lessons were do. Things that as of yesterday weren't do until this Wednesday, are all of a sudden due Last Friday! We worked too hard on her schoolwork to be bamboozled like this. Not at all happy with Edgenuity right now! Be aware of all possible glitches and mishaps, and speak up for the children/students you are representing. This is uncalled for and speaks of sabotage.
The Product Support Specialist, Greg, quickly understood what we needed and what needed to be adjusted. Not only was it corrected on a speedy basis, he also emailed directions/ information to us in case it happened again. Thank you!

I talked with Jerin yesterday about finding more ability-fitting courses for some of my students and she guided me to some good options to check out, especially in the needed math category. Jerin was patient and thorough and was a big help! Thanks so much! #*******.
This review is mainly for the Pathblazer program. We have had several technical glitches in this 20-21 school year and almost every time I've contacted Edgenuity, they've jumped right on the problem. Only one instance where I had to re-email. But the dozens of other times, they have responded within the hour and usually had the problem solved before the end of the day. In EVERY email correspondence I have had with them, they are very polite and courteous. As far as customer support goes, I give them an A+.
This is a great program BUT students have to be motivated and willing to do the work. The projects and rubrics could use some modifications to a digital format but students can learn with remote support. If they are not good at independent learning, they will likely struggle. Parents have to stay on them to keep up with the schedule. But there are countless components that are great about this program.
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 ….
Your support staff are amazing! They have been so helpful to me. I show up many Wednesdays to get their assistance. Sometimes we struggle and try ideas that don't work out. But often we have great success! I now have 2 PurposePrep classes, thanks to their help. I love the content and my students love working through the modules. I must admit that the program itself is daunting. I'd love more training so I could be more independent with the product.
