Too old
October 10, 2024

Savvas sucks we all know that, It looks like I made it. It is so outdated that I saw info about MP3 PLAYERS in our Savvas books. ( digital versions of the books are also available on the website) The first MP3 player was created in 1998, in my opinion, the iPhone (which was released in 2007) is when MP3 players died, let's assume that the year that I saw it (2023) was the year they removed it still would have taken them SIXTEEN YEARS to get rid of it. But they probably haven't, and if they still have extremely outdated information, It is not a stretch to assume that most of the other information is outdated.

September 8, 2024

Worst Way to Learn Ever
September 4, 2024

If I could 0 stars I would. It was a waste of my school year using Savvas is class. It would take forever to load so time in class would be wasted. When we would go on a different tab on our computers it would kick us out so we would have to go through the whole process again. I would not recommend.

Belongs in a dumpster
August 28, 2024

I can not even get over how bad this curriculum is. I would need way more room to go into full detail. Every aspect of this curriculum is awful. The homeschool bundle comes with ZERO answers to any of the problems or tests. The website is not user friendly at all. I never was able to figure it out despite spending hours of time devoted to it. I feel so bad for teachers or students who are forced to use this. I ended up sucking up the money and ordered a real math curriculum from bju press

I would like to leave a review as a teacher. Savvas Realize for science is simply not usable. First, it is a disorganized mess. It's difficult to use and not intuitive. From a content perspective, the online materials are generally only peripherally related to the content in the book. There is no material that actually supports the content in the book. If you do assign the online content, you can't grade it in the platform. You have to overwrite the auto grade in your external gradebook. It's also extremely slow and difficult to review student work as you can only review one question per screen and everything loads extremely slowly and you can't jump around. It is supposed to auto save work as there is no "save" button, but this works inconsistently and student work is often lost.

From a support perspective, it is very limited. Tech support is hit and miss in quality but they will complain if you submit too many tickets so you have to focus on critical issues and abandon assignments with small issues to stay under the unspoken limit. They advertise curriculum support, but this is simply non-existent. There are also no digital training, support, manuals, help files, etc.

This is Horrible
April 29, 2024

If I could put a 0 star review I would but, the scale is only 1-10. The connection is horrible and literately nothing loads. The information on this website is not even accurate and puts a whole lot of useless info in their lessons. If we're learning about WWll I should learn about WWll not how a French guy ate a potato.

Slow and Sluggish
April 16, 2024

As an 8th grader currently using Savvas in class, I must say that while Savvas does a decent enough job as a tool for teacher review and student work submission, there are some glaring issues.

Primarily, Savvas is excessively slow and sluggish, as it takes a full minute or so to load any given lesson. It slows down even more right after school, which I can only guess is because of increased site traffic. I will often spend a good 7 minutes solving a complicated one-part geometry question, only to hit "Check answer" and get it caught in a buffering loop, forcing me to reload the tab and have to answer a new question.

Savvas is not capable of being the primary learning source. Its "View an example" and "Help me solve this" buttons are great, but only once the student understands the lesson. Our teacher makes sure to go through the lesson and 5 examples of the lesson before assigning homework to us on Savvas.

Overall, while a great improvement from the previous resource my school used, Assistments, Savvas Realize is not a great classroom resource. It is, however, a good way of checking student answers and ensuring understanding of the lesson. I can't help but feel that pencil & paper would be faster, though, with how uselessly slow this website is.

Very slow
April 3, 2024

Savvas Realize is extremely slow. It often takes me about 4 minutes to get to the section I'm looking for, because of how glitchy it is. It is definitely not convenient.

Let me first say this. I like math and science. I have always enjoyed these subjects throughout all my years of schooling. However, Savvas ruins this for me. First of all, we do this a ton in science, and everyone hates it, me included. Often, the questions are long and unclear, and just in general not interesting. Additionally, the progress saving is very unreliable. Recently, I had completed an assignment and submitted my work. I come back today to find that all my work has been deleted and I have to start over from scratch. Really? This is really annoying in general, as all assignments on Savvas are like this. Additionally, the E-Texts are really long and boring, The notebook questions are frequent and don't make much sense or are unclear. Sometimes they don't even have anything to do with the topic. I find all the science curriculum useless and aggravating. And don't even get me started on math. I am in honors math, and we had to do a trial of Savvas for math, to see if it was worth buying for the school next year. I think that I can speak for everyone that it was the worst thing ever. The pretests were unhelpful, as it didn't even tell you what you got wrong when you completed them. The lesson was boring and the questions were unclear. Honestly, this deserves less than a 1 star, and I hope nobody else has to suffer. DO NOT think for a second about purchasing this or using it for any reason. I just saved you money and time. Your welcome.

Savvas literally just sucks. There is no way of explaining it besides the fact that it sucks. Never use this if you are a teacher. Sue if possible. No way I am letting anyone I know teach this when they are older. Not trying to let this next generation go mad.

Many of the stories in the book feel like repetition in the lessons, and the worksheets that go along with it do not provide enough material to challenge the kids and prevents them from being able to get to their best level of literacy.

Instructions are all incredibly unclear and repeats the same instructions multiple times. It isn't at all helpful or educative.
