This year felt unorganized
I don’t care for this years tech updates they were very confusing especially always having to “clear the cache”. Last school year was much better and easier going. The kids don’t really get to engage like they did last year. They have sessions with the teachers but it’s not for the full time. I don’t care for them being put in “tables” to work alone for half of the class, it seems pointless. This year it seems like there was very minimal teacher engagement with the class. This school year felt very unorganized and for those reasons I may be removing my child from OHVA.

Such a great safe experience for kids
The teachers are very nice and don't have any means to accuse students of threatening behavior like they do in the public schools. My son didn't like the public schools much and wanted to join online schools since he was in the 8th grade which I should have done for all of the children. Thank God for online schools!

The program use to be better
I dont like how the OLS was changed and now my children dont have fun ways of practicing what they learn.
I dont like that one of my children's teachers was mean and made it difficult for my children to ask for help.
I dont like that when my child's therapist and psychiatrist had me reach out for educational assistance that my child was shut down without even having the opportunity to hear concerns or fully evaluate her. My daughter has difficulties in learning and I felt no one cared

Hello! Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us. We appreciate it.
Overall a very good program
Overall a very good program. My daughter has been going here for 5 years and my son just started kindergarten. My kids will be attending again . The only things that I'm not too pleased about are the way we log the hours honestly I'm very forgetful I have 5 kids and I don't always remember to log hours. When I do go to catch up it's kind of inconvenient how they have classes in there that are not necessary to be on there it used to be a fast easy process now it's like I have to skip over all these unnecessary classes that are on there for no reason and it makes me click the wrong things sometimes. Also the new system I still haven't gotten used to but that may be because I'm not that tech savvy. Lastly the amount of work kindergarten has compared to my 8th grader is pretty insane . My son has speech problems so he gets very frustrated having to read through all his work and finds it unfair that my daughter gets done hoursss before him and to have a 5 year old sit through all that work isn't easy . He has a lot of melt downs and is easily frustrated by the process. But like I said overall we have enjoyed OHVA k12 so much so that we are renewing. It's just going to take some getting used to with the new set up.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re truly grateful that your family has been part of OHVA for so many years, and it means a lot to hear that you plan to continue with us. Your feedback gives us a clearer picture of what’s working well and where the experience can be improved.
We understand how challenging it can be to manage logging hours—especially with a busy household and multiple students. You’re not alone in feeling that the process has become less streamlined, and we know how frustrating it can be when extra classes appear or when the system makes it easy to click the wrong thing. We’re actively working toward improvements to make the platform more intuitive and efficient again.
The transition to the new system has been an adjustment for many families, and it’s completely understandable that it feels overwhelming if technology isn’t your favorite thing. We appreciate your patience as we continue refining the experience.
Regarding the workload differences, especially for your kindergartener, we hear you. Younger learners—particularly those with speech or reading challenges—can find the structure demanding, and it’s tough when siblings finish at such different times. Your son’s frustration is completely valid, and we know how hard it can be to support a little one through those moments. We’re continually reviewing grade‑level expectations and student support needs to help make learning more manageable and developmentally appropriate.
Your honesty helps us grow, and your continued trust in OHVA means a great deal. We’re committed to making the platform smoother, more supportive, and easier for families like yours. Thank you again for sticking with us and for sharing such thoughtful feedback.
