My first year in Edgenuity was dreadful I got hit with the big red "YOUR BEHIND" bar if I didn't do school for a day. It throws projects at you, no warnings just get it done even though the projects are due the day they are assigned. A tests locked, you can't do school because of a system glitch, your behind and it's not your fault? To Bad! Just do school on breaks and weekends. This year edgenuity has been pretty ok. It makes me lock in to actually finish assignments (which I need with my crippling adhd) overall I would not recommend edgenuity at all unless your kid is independent, self motivated, and can stay on schedule.

Edgenuity sucks I am a parent and my student is doing Edgenuity in school. He is being tortured by Edgenuity. Edgenuity has a lot of super long, unskippable, boring videos. It is also very repetitive and is frying his brain. Right now, he am 13 hours behind. The next day, after 5 hours of work, he is still 12 hours behind. It is incompletable and is f***ing stupid. The third guy looks likes Voldemort. My child has nightmares of Edgenuity.

I was just recently diagnosed with ADHD and trying to get school work finished as im 19 and failed every single year of highschool due to chronic illness. My second option was to do online work through adult education. Im struggling. This is quite possibly the worst platform Ive used. No engagement, no excitement, no motivation to even finish school anymore. Im stuck. When i come home from work I dread getting on Edgenuity. The unskippable questions are aggravating as all hell. I can read the text just fine without some dullard mouthing off in my ear about what tf im supposed to be doing- entirely unskippable! I once had to wait over a minute for the next question on an assignment because this lady was reading back every single correct answer for a multiple choice question, as if i dont know the answer already(i LITERALLY selected the correct answers for a reason). I cant recite a single thing ive "learned" to my parent since adopting this program. I feel like im being set up for failure. I have no hope for college and i have no other options besides using this god forsaken platform. It wasnt built for teaching students, it was built to keep you in line and obey and to produce millions for its shareholders. (seriously, didnt they get busted for lobbying hundreds of thousands in 2014?)

Excellent Remote Learning Site and Support
December 13, 2020

I have used Edgenuity exclusively to help high school students recover credit and accelerate to gain credits in courses that they need in order to graduate. The courses are challenging, rigorous, and robust. The students who are driven and self-motivated move through the courses with ease. Whenever I need support, which is rare, I receive a return call within an hour. My issue is always resolved quickly. I have nothing but good things to say about Edgenuity, their product, and their service.

Excellent customer support
December 13, 2020

I called for customer support. The support staff member was able to answer my question immediately and help me solve my problem right away.

I might also add that I have been using this program as an educator for many years. The students who are invested in the program and take it seriously, rather than trying to take "shortcuts" and avoid doing the work, are the ones who experience the most success with the program. The ones who prefer to let the videos play while they do other things and then expect to do well on the assessments are the ones who experience the most difficulty with the program.

Excellent Customer care
December 12, 2020

I have used Edgenuity for many years. For differentiation, for enrichment. And to address specific benchmarks of concern. I find the program to be an excellent resource for online education. The courses align with Florida Sunshine standards and cover the topics with details. The reports are comprehensive and allow the teachers to monitor student's progress.

Edgenuity is Horrible
January 9, 2021

We were forced to use Edgenuity since we chose the online schooling for my daughter's school district due to the Coronavirus. It is little more than video then test, zero interaction and beyond disappointing. When we first started the weekly emails they gave us percentages and her were usually on target or close to it. 8 weeks in her school district liaison says btw those emails don't reflect her grade. They switch the emails over and same day I go from believing that she is doing well to she is failing! My daughter is usually an A/B student! Now 2 semesters in and it seems like she will never catch up. We will either take our chances with the virus or find a better online school!

Review of tech support
January 9, 2021

I'm a teacher and one of my students was locked out. It took days for them to respond and their response was asking for additional info (despite the fact that I included screenshots). My poor student had to wait almost a week to move forward. A fellow teacher was able to override... Edgenuity never solved the problem. Shame on you! (I tried to give zero stars but was forced to give them one)

Set up to make our kids fail
January 8, 2021

This online schooling program is a waste of time and, if you have to pay for it, money. The kids learn absolutely nothing, they have no help, and they are left frustrated and stressed. Sesame Street is a better teacher than any crap Edgenuity has.

My student ran into an issue with the system not advancing properly. I reached out to Edgenuity through the radio button in the lesson and heard back from a representative within the hour with a fix and explanation.

Edgenuity courseware and support
December 10, 2020

Last year and this year have been trying times for anyone with online learning, and I have had longer response times in getting answers or having issues resolved compared with what I have experienced with them in the past. Things have begun to improve and I believe that Edgenuity will be able to provide more efficient service response in the future.

We have had several glitches with Edgenuity, but our reps and engineers have been amazing about getting us back up and running quickly. We have been using Edgenuity for 5-6 years now and our lab coordinators love it!

Reset all 2 months of work!
January 7, 2021

Hate this stupid program. It reset my son's work and made it look like he had not done anything for 2 months! There was no way to change it either, he had to redo the work.

Help was Quick and Efficient
December 8, 2020

I was having trouble connecting with the student's assignments online so that I could read them over while the student was also looking at the same assignment. As soon as Edgenuity got my message and understood exactly what it was I was having trouble with. The problem was solved. I am very thankful for this great program that allows teachers to focus on what's important, and that's the kid and their understanding of the work they are assigned. You guys rock! Thank you, seriously, thank you for what you do! Sandy B., Reno, NV

RAWHIDE'S LEARNING PORTAL
December 6, 2020

We have been pleased with the courses, the LMS and the after sale support. The problems we have had were caused by our ignorance and not that of Edgenuity. When contacted they answered promptly and had the solution we needed. Definitely a bargain for the price paid.

Program knowledge

This is our first week of distance learning and had many questions regarding the program and reports. I used the feature of requesting a call balk versus waiting on line. In the morning the call back is almost immediate. Help was polite and informative.

Terrible Support for Teachers
January 3, 2021

I reached out to the online chat option for an issue I was having with unlocking tests. TWICE I was disconnected from the agent (the screen literally shows "Agent has left the chat)-I attached the screenshot to this feedback. I am sure you know how frustrating it is to go through all of the details, spend 20 minutes back and forth and then be told to "Hold while we look into this for you" only to have the agent leave the chat, leaving me without an answer. And then, to have to do this all over again with another agent who DOES THE EXACT SAME THING TO ME!
I ended up calling the 800 number and waiting on hold for 12 minutes for someone to answer-luckily he was able to tell me what the issue was but this had now taken my entire class period. And let me just say, this was not the first time-they did this with me previously when I did online chat asking about an answer key.

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE-I am writing an email to the District to make sure that they know just how awful this platform is.

Great service!
December 2, 2020

As a teacher, I find Edgenuity easy to use. I have the flexibility to turn assignments on or off and individualize for students. I use the lessons to supplement my direct teaching. One of my students had a video that got stuck. When I reached out to Edgenuity they fixed it immediately. Thank you!
