(TL;DR at the bottom)
Edgenuity has always been miserable to use due to the subpar methods used to teach in most courses, horrendous learning format (long videos that can't be played at increased speed), and the developer's bizarre refusal to fix the above issues or make it more accessible for those with ADHD. In a strategic move comparable only to trying to climb Mt Everest entirely naked while pursued by several wolves the Edgenuity developers have opted to block the Tampermonkey extension from the website. Ignoring the fact that this is to some extent a breach of privacy. Edgenuity could've taken a fraction of the time spent blocking any userscript manager under the sun to instead either block specifically the extensions that autocomplete quizzes or cheat. Or alternatively just fixing the miserable experience it cultivates that drives people to spend hours trying to find a way to speed videos up or make them autoplay. The sooner that school districts move away from using Edgenuity the better.

TL;DR
Edgenuity is awful to use in general but especially so for anyone with ADHD or a similar condition. Instead of fixing the obvious and well documented issues that make it so awful the developers have chosen to entirely block the program people use to speed up the videos. Would not recommend.

in my complicated scenario i had no choice but to use the platform for my second semester and boy is it bad. i have started calling it "the embodiment of in one ear and out the other" as that's what it feels like. 20 minutes of videos teach you things (that you should spend a few days of real class on) terribly, and you move on to questions you can't answer because you weren't taught the material. i frequently have to watch videos three times to answer a couple questions it didn't teach me. not even to mention how easy it is to lose focus in my mind because of how long and boring the videos are sometimes and have to rewatch the videos. there really isn't a point, as you can look up literally every question online and get the correct answer, but i don't want to be screwed over in the future not knowing what i "learned." too bad i already am.

This website isn't really education. It has to be one of the worse websites I have ever had to use for learning ever. Not only does it use ai, but if you even get a 70% (a passing grade) it says you failed and have to completely restart, which gives students unnecessary stress. It also expects you to do a weeks work in one day. Over all one of the worse websites to use for education.

One of the worse websites for student learning! Teachers, if you are reading this DON'T USE IT!!! As a student myself I can safely say I didn't learn a single thing from here. If you tested me on any part I "learned" from here, I would get a zero. And I know I'm not the only student who agrees on this.

Worst "learning" program EVER

Enginuity is a waste of time. They expect you to have time for 6-7 hours of work a day. Online school is supposed to be flexible. Now I'm bending over backwards just to find time to finish it all. We are required to go to school to take our tests as well. How is that flexible? It's not. The classes are impossible and exhausting. You have to cheat on almost all the questions just to pass. No matter how much you read the articles, listen to the videos, you will still fail. The content is extremely outdated. I started online school because in person was taking over my life. I had stuff I wanted to focus on, and I thought going online would provide the flexibility I needed. It did the opposite. Now I have to make room for testing days, 7 hours of work which includes so much note taking because if you don't take notes, you will fail your final. Even if you do take notes, you probably will still fail. The questions are from the videos. If you miss even the slightest from the videos you will get so lost. The questions are not worded well at all. I failed so many courses setting me back a lot. If your looking into homeschool or online school DO NOT CHOSE EDGENUITITY This program is not good whatsoever do not recommend.

Honestly it has no real educational value it copy’s questions and answers from brainly.com and it has pre recorded videos from over 3 years ago it is a complete scam and my school fell for it
Reasons it sucks:
It’s easy to cheat
It’s repetitive
There is no human interaction
It’s graded by Ai
It gives a weeks work every day
And no one ever checks it

While Edgenuity's middle school curriculum is accessible and aligns with educational standards, it disappoints in crucial areas. The platform lacks interactivity and adaptability, and it doesn't incorporate real-world applications to engage students. Additionally, assessments do not align with lesson content and appear to be designed without a solid understanding of outcomes-based learning. Even with external tutoring, this curriculum has resulted in family stress and student demoralization. Edgenuity needs a comprehensive reevaluation to better serve student and family needs.

Honestly, the worst thing ever invented. The courses are mind-numbingly dull and don't promote learning. In my personal experience as a student, the teachers look like they don't want to be there at all. The program is horrible and doesn't do well unless you have a physical teacher in the room to help you.
As a student with ADHD, this program makes life more difficult. The complete lack of engagement within the program and the robotic nature are some things you don't want to give to your child. Please provide your child I-Ready instead. It's still a little boring, but it has way more engagement and usefulness.

This site makes their lessons boring and uninteresting it is the opposite of learning is fun! The site is slow and always buffering as well.

This is a horrible for profit company with insanely poor customer service, ridiculously obtuse help, article after article of useless information, restrictions set by outsiders not in the classroom, etc. Why on earth would anyone buy something this confusing and user unfriendly I'll never know. But it's such a bad product that is so poorly managed, i've started philosophical discussions on the nature of LLC's in public education. They don't belong here. They aren't working for children, for culture, for the improvement of their fellow man, they're working for profit for shareholders. And it shows.

If I could give zero stars I would! I had a technical issue, called their support number, waited on hold for 53 minutes until the call magically disconnected. I didn’t want to wait that long again so I decided to use their web chat option instead. So I’m waiting in the chat queue it says there’s two people ahead of me.... then I got an email saying “sorry we missed you in chat”. So I don’t know why this email says we missed each other on chat I am still waiting in the chat queue. Needless to say, it still says there are 2 people ahead of me, and it’s been like that for 2 days. Next I emailed their support and have gotten ZERO response. Horribly frustrating. Stay away from Edgenuity if you can!!!

This website, I wish I could give it negative 1 million. It is SO frustrating, and I have to just look things up because of this ridiculousness. Stay away people and districts.
