Pros ( cost ) - cons (communication)

Pros : For a cost effective home school option it's sufficient. The content I think is average. They give you all the supplies and if you need computers they will provide it.

Cons : communication and organization is poor. It came to the point that I couldn't afford to traditionally home school for my kids. I couldn't afford the entire curriculum, so in desperation I decided to try an online charter school. It was sufficient but like any public school district they very weary about kids coming into the program that have had traditional home schooling. I enrolled my children in February for the next coming year one of my children was to go into 1st grade as I completed a Kindergarten home school curriculum from Sonlight ( a well known expensive curriculum). So I thought everything was going good; about 6 weeks before school starts, I received all the 1st grade materials and schedule. However about 2 days before school starts I received in the mail , a box of Kindergarten materials. And a new schedule for kindergarten. No explanation, no phone call nothing. When trying to get in touch with someone you would get caught in phone tree hell where you can't get in touch with a live person without great frustration and time. Eventually with many phone calls and emails I get an answer that we have to have her tested which took 4 weeks to get someone to meet me at a local library to test my daughter to prove she could go to 1 st grade. Then it took another 2 weeks to make their decision if she can go 1 st grade. In the meantime she was doing Kindergarten work. Finally they make their decision that she was indeed ready for 1st grade. Which unfortunately made my daughter anxious to have to switch to a new class 6 weeks into school. I don't understand why this all of this could not have been done before school starts. This was very stressful for everyone which could have been prevented with a proper organization. Not to mention why didn't anyone discuss this with us. I am very disappointed that just many other public schools they forget to communicate with parents effectively . This was only one of my 3 kids I enrolled. I also had a similar issue with my high schooler it literally took me the entire semester to get her out of delayed classes something that should not take nearly that long. Again why couldn't they communicate with me that they were placing her in delayed classes because of IAP she had when she was in 1st grade public school. When I decided to pull her out of public school we corrected a lot with of her reading issues. But no communication came from WIVA that they were going to place her in delayed classes. We found that out on day 1 of school.
Sorry WIVA you can do better about this. It's almost like they literally don't look at this until the week school starts. It really is an awful onboarding experience.

I have two kids in k12 I like most of…

I have two kids in k12 I like most of the teachers. The only problem I have is my 8th grade son doesn’t even get 1/4 amount of work the my 3rd grade son does. My 3rd grade son has soo much home work and he has a learning disability and he has speech and other learning help but they hold him to the normal standard and he is overwhelmed and it seems like they just want the parents to do the work for him. I do not agree with that at all. I am considering looking for a different school.

Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns with us. We truly value your partnership and appreciate the care and advocacy you show for both of your children. Your commitment to their success is clear, and we want to ensure you feel supported throughout their educational experience.

We’re sorry to hear that the workload feels uneven between your 8th grader and your 3rd grader, particularly given your younger child’s learning needs. No student should feel overwhelmed, and families should never feel as though they must complete assignments on their child’s behalf. Your experience is important to us, and we want to understand it fully so we can address it appropriately.

If you’re open to continuing the conversation, please reach out to us at help@k12.com. We want to ensure your concerns are heard and resolved.
