K12 Avis 

I love the way the teachers take interest in the students and make them feel comfortable and they also let the parents and guardian know what's going on and what they might need to work on

The teachers are amazing!! Tristen Kimball and Erika Pennuel are the best!!

We love the flexibility overall everything is great. My daughter went from failing to making great grades having great teachers that actually care and are there for their students is such a blessing. The staff is amazing!

Could be better. Could be worse.

K12 was great. My daughter used this program for 1st and 2nd grade. I was impressed of how well and fast she learned to read. They send you everything you need. Teachers were great, very nice, answer emails very quick.

My son's teacher told him, "I don't have time to give you one-on-one help," when he asked for assistance. Instead, she sent him about four YouTube links.
We went right back to Iowa Connections Academy

Great school. My daughter went 3 years and graduated this year. We are so pleased.

Our experience with TNVA was, without question, the most disappointing educational experience our family has ever had.

My child has clear neurodivergent needs, yet instead of receiving understanding, support, or appropriate accommodations, we repeatedly encountered judgment, resistance, and what felt like punishment for behaviors directly related to her disability. Rather than partnering with us to help her succeed, staff often made us feel like we were being reprimanded simply for advocating for the services and support she needed.

What was most heartbreaking was watching my daughter become increasingly disengaged and isolated. Rather than helping rebuild her confidence, I felt that the response to her struggles only reinforced them. After advocating for her needs, it seemed she was treated differently, and she became even more withdrawn from class participation. As a parent, it was devastating to watch her lose confidence in herself and in school.

Because this is a virtual school, classes were recorded. Knowing those interactions were captured makes my experience even more troubling. In my view, some of the teacher's comments and responses toward students came across as dismissive, passive-aggressive, and, at times, humiliating. I was shocked that communication I perceived as belittling occurred in a recorded classroom setting. It left me wondering how students who are less able to advocate for themselves—or whose parents are unable to observe classroom interactions—are treated.

The classroom environment did not reflect the principles of equity, inclusion, or compassion that every child deserves. Instead of recognizing that children learn and behave differently, there seemed to be an expectation of rigid conformity. My experience left me with the impression that there was little understanding of ADHD or other forms of neurodivergence. Behaviors commonly associated with ADHD were often treated as disciplinary issues rather than opportunities for support, redirection, or accommodation.

Our interactions with the administration and special education department were equally disheartening. Rather than feeling supported through the special education process, we experienced repeated delays, excuses, and barriers when requesting evaluations and services. Communication frequently left us feeling dismissed instead of heard. At times, it seemed the message was that if a child could not fit into the school's inflexible expectations—including strict schedules and standardized behavioral expectations—then perhaps this simply was not the right school for her.

No parent should feel like an adversary for advocating for their child. We expected collaboration, guidance, and a genuine commitment to helping our daughter succeed. Instead, we often felt blamed, criticized, and left to navigate challenges on our own.

Our family has participated in virtual education since before COVID-19 and has experience with online public schools in multiple states. We have never encountered anything remotely comparable. Those schools demonstrated that virtual education can be flexible, supportive, and responsive to students with diverse learning needs. Unfortunately, that was not our experience at TNVA.

Looking back, enrolling my daughter at TNVA was one of the greatest setbacks to her education. Every child deserves educators who seek first to understand, who approach differences with empathy instead of judgment, and who view neurodivergent students as capable learners worthy of support—not as inconveniences. Sadly, that was not the experience our family had, and I cannot recommend TNVA to families whose children have ADHD, autism, or other special educational needs.

K12 actually care about the children

The platform is very user-friendly, and the curriculum for each course is very comprehensive; my daughter has been there since kindergarten and is now moving up to third grade, and the teachers are always helpful.

They told me to enroll my son as soon as possible for 2026-2027 school year before that year began because the spots were full for the current year and hed need to wait until the next one. So I did what the originally said. Now they are saying the school that they told me to enroll him for wont be taking new students for this next year. So I contact them to do what their email said to do with transferring him. They give me excuse after excuse first about not having received his transfer documents which I submitted previously and that they should simply just transfer over to the other school, then that they never asked for them, and lastly that the ones I submitted were cut in half which they were not when i uploaded them. Excuse after excuse, they dont care for students or their families. Also the email suggested I can buy their online private school at half price. We cant afford to buy school and shouldnt have to. They need to fix the problems that they created. We do not have any further documents for our son beyond what was already submitted. We will be reporting them to the TEA for review. They lie and make excuses rather than fixing problems that they created leaving kids without adequate schooling.

My daughter likes to be very independent and they give her just the right amount of support and instruction.

All Kaileigh's teacher have been there to help her when she has a question or not understanding the assignments.

Great experience at Grand Canyon Private Academy!

Curriculum, supplies, teachers and staff are all stellar! A much better atmosphere than public school in our area.

I love k12. It is a great school, great teachers , all together its great. Always recommend it to anyone and everyone. The new layout is a little different and kinda weird to get use to . Last year it added the attendance when they did there work , this year you had to add it yourself but it was not hard you just have to remember you have to do it.

The teachers and staff are very engaging. My son never feels behind or left out even when he does lose focus. Such a great school.

The teachers and staff were unbelievable. This is by far the greatest community we’ve been apart of. Our child has excelled beyond measures thanks to the dedication of her teacher.

The online school is a saving grace. I don't know what I'd do without this as an option. The teachers are very kind and helpful. The online classes and assignments are easy to navigate.

I love the fact that my kids can not feel well and do class work later in the day. I have a child who has a IEP so they offer more help
