Apex Learning High School

the curriculum is filled with misinformation and a weird insistence in incorporating the name of god into my u.s. government and politics class. god has nothing to do with education. they don’t actually teach anything and it’s very apparent they just expect you to cheat and therefore don’t try. which just encourages further cheating. i would only recommend this school if you’d like to cheat ur way to graduation but anyone looking for a quality education and not a time waster should seek elsewhere. only thing i shall rate high here is safety due to the fact that it’s an online school how would i even be unsafe so do not mistake this for praise. and i’m safe from harsh punishment because there are no punishments! they don’t care about the students enough to even correct misbehavior.

If you want a positive learning experience, do NOT go with Apex Learning. As a former 4.0 student, I am just now getting my high school GPA back up after this. I took French I, English 10, and Geometry. My grade was very low on the French course and Geometry course, and I had an A in English---and only because I put put priority on that class. I passed my French and Geometry only because, on the last day, I skipped lessons and guessed on quizzes and tests that I hadn't gotten to yet so they wouldn't be graded as 0%. I passed the final exams only because of basic logic and learning material from other sources in order to understand it. The only good thing is it lets you see your grade based only on quality of work. I had two As and a B in my classes for the quality of work grade, but because of falling behind (amount of homework), my actual grade suffered horribly. It wasn't for lack of effort. I spent 7-10 hours of work a day, working until evening, and I still fell behind.The videos did a very poor job in explaining concepts. In all of the courses, the lessons were jam-packed with information and didn't offer a way to retain any of it other than taking rigorous notes (which you had no time to study anyway) and straight memorizing 15 to 20+ slides of straight information. Usually I sought help from an older sibling, YouTube, or Khan Academy. The quizzes are 10 questions, so if you get even one wrong, your score is down 10%. The tests are even worse with only 5 questions. Getting a single question wrong plunges your grade. They don't let you see the correct answers for the ones you got wrong, so there's no way to learn from your mistakes. There's a ton of worksheets you have to do, but they aren't even graded, so the time and effort you spend isn't even going towards your grade. There is so much work required to get done, and because of that, it's impossible to keep up with the work. I fell 20+ assignments behind and struggled to keep it at only that. The Holidays breaks are a joke, very short and because of the amount of work, there's no actual break.I had one good teacher, and only for the first semester. The other teachers that I had did nothing to answer my questions, always pointing me back to the lesson as if I had not just read/watched through it. The live chat tutors weren't helpful---only once did they help me understand a geometry concept. I don't think they understood proofs any more than I did because I got no answer for that one.Don't do it.

I am a person who has a hard time focusing; I have a 504 plan but there are literally no accommodations for neurodivergent students. I am doing Environmental Science, and usually spend an hour on the studies, which are just absolutely convoluted with information. I never retain any of it. Most of what is on the studies isn't on the quizzes they give you. I have even gotten contradictory answers on quizzes; they tell me one thing in the study, and when i say the same answer they say I'm wrong. This program does not specify anything and expects students to remember every bit of information they have on their 20+ page studies. I spend hours every day trying to get through the different assignments and am usually not done until the evening because it is so hard for me to pay attention. Again, literally no accommodations. It's like they're trying to make the lessons as boring as possible. I have 22 days to finish a whole semester of this class, and the workload is way too much, especially for the lack of effort they put into making the lessons interesting or easy to understand. I am so happy I'm graduating soon and never have to deal with this horrible program again.

Hiya, hello, sup, etc, I am a special needs student with various IEPs/Changes to my personal curriculum which would have an effect on actual teacher provided work which I am required to have in order to pass. I am currently working on "Foundations of Math 1" which is the “simplest” class they have, and in all, sheer, most upmost honesty, it is by far the absolute WORST course I have ever taken. Ever. APEX does not provide ANY accommodations to both standard students & students with an IEP. APEX assignments are so utterly demoralizing, to the point where each time I fail a quiz or assignment with a whopping 60% because there is literally no room for error (even on the simplest assignments), I don’t even bother to tell anybody.I can't even rate APEX positively for safety because it has been capable of pushing me into a emotional breakdown time and time again because of how HORRIBLY programmed it is- It will NEVER get to the point on pages you are supposed to read before answering the quiz, on top of that, once you go into the quiz, you can’t even exit the quiz to go into the study to answer the questions as you go along at your own pace. I am going to fail both of my classes, all because I’m being forced to use this endless wormhole of distress of a site my school assigns to everyone. My work would otherwise be slightly simpler and slightly cut down on actual worthwhile assignments so I am not overwhelmed or so I can actually get the work done without feeling like a psychologically broken victim to my school districts overexpectations, but that is no longer the case, APEX opts to give me 20 pages worth of words and 10 questions in the end. There is no reason to give over 16 full paragraphs of words to a teenager who already struggles with learning and then expect them to memorize all of it for a 10 question quiz only to slap them with a 40% correct quiz without even telling you what you got correct and incorrect. It’s no wonder people cheat on APEX, because that’s the only way they can stay sane while using this atrociously made website built on total impracticality. It’s miserable, just straight up beyond unbearable. I am so incredibly amazed at how APEX manages to not only shove students of both sides to the ground with deep sadness or absolute infuriation, but also gives them a guaranteed contract to fail both school & credit recovery. This site alone is enough to make me drop-out, and I might be doing that if I’m assigned it again next year.
