Discoveryk12 Reviews

This online school will do nothing for your child

This online school will do nothing for your child but keep them back a year from learning There is little to no testing The math program does nothing to help them understand There is no way to keep track of what your child has done and no feedback on progress or what needs more work Buyer beware the 99 dollars is recurring When I realized this it was too late They will only refund the initial payment within 14 days This is a scrupulous company and are only in it for the money Do not subscribe You and your child will regret it

DK12 needs a policy change

99 for a program we aren t using Discovery k12 is cool for giving your child busy work but isn t worth the 99 we spent on it Especially when that 99 is recurring and there s no way to cancel it on their site You have to cancel through PayPal and God forbid you don t catch it before it comes out They tell you it can t be refunded because it s a recurring fee They only offer a refund within 14 days of the initial purchase I really hate that I didn t catch the cancellation before they snatched it out of my account They don t even send a courtesy email stating that the payment is about to come out You d think that if your kid isn t using the program they d know you aren t using it either They need to have an annual enrollment and if you don t re-enroll or if your child doesn t login for 2 weeks that means they are no longer in the program They also need to send out a renewal reminder like most decent companies As well as make it easier to contact them

Complete Scam

Daughter s friend living with us is signed up with this program her mom signed her up Junior year She is a senior now and we tried to access her grade book and transcript They asked for payment and of course we paid because we need her transcripts for college Paid the money and NO access to grades or transcripts The button to upgrade is still there as if we never paid They finally responded via email there is NOT a phone number to call They said her mom had to open the parent portal and pay through that portal We did that and still NO ACCESS to grades or transcripts and the button to upgrade is still lit up I have requested refund but no reply by email I m so frustrated This is such a scam Do NOT use them Use K12 but NOT Discovery K12 Sounds very similar and I feel they are taking advantage of people K12 is a fantastic program with a phone and online help and a great program DK12 or Discovery K12 is a complete scam

This Homeschool is mediocre at best

This Homeschool is mediocre at best They put your payment on auto-renew and do not send out renewal notices The website says you have 14 days to get a refund but will not hold up their end of the deal when you ask for a refund the same day it s taken They are a merchant through PayPal but break PayPal rules and their own This business is unethical and doesn t care about the people paying for their product there are many other ethical businesses out there with you and your family s needs in mind Don t get caught in a money grabbing trap like us After reviewing their BBB profile this is happened to multiple people and they have yet to fix this on their end in order for it not to happen again

I would rate this an A- site

I would rate this an A- site With a few limitations it offers good features for free or at the cost of 99 to attach a parent profile to the student s free profile The record-keeping for grades is really good It helps parents keep up with attendance and work We use this as supplemental

Very nice and easy setup

This is exactly what I as a homeschool mom was looking for I appreciate someone taking the time to put this together and offer it for free to students It definitely makes my life a bit easier We add to the curriculum or adapt it to where my student is at The layout is very nice and easy to use and understand
