I read the reviews and assume two things: 1 students were provided MyPath a supplemental program that remediates or accelerates the learner based on their math or English skills. Otherwise the content is marked as 6-12.
2. It appears schools do not have the courses set up correctly. The schools that are having difficulty should call and ask for some assistance.
What I can tell you as a district that has used this for 10 years is that it compares to no other for core content and supplemental support. When a district takes the time to organize to match the criteria that they have it will prove to mirror content, not delivery of the material. This platform is so customizable that you can have a blended school that is effective quickly. The supplements of UpSmart and MyPath are unbelieveable.
I review online platforms as part of my job and by all means this is hands down the best platform possible for a district to use as its primary resource for the district.
The comment that the girl was getting all As and Bs at another cyber and then moved to this and is struggling doesn't surprise me. The rigor and expectation that students learn and can't skim the classes is what makes Edgenuity above all of the others.
