Agora Cyber Charter School

My daughter has been going to this school for 4 years now. I do agree with some of the negative comments about homeroom . She DOES get homework, she is in 7th grade, she should be getting it. She should be challenged. I expect nothing less!
My daughter went from getting F's in public school to straight A's in Agora Cyber School. Her confidence in herself is just amazing. Her teachers push her because they know she can do the work, because they care.
My daughter is autistic and public school told me in her IEP "that as long as she was progressing with her special education teachers don't worry about the F's! She wasn't EVER going to get much more." I took her out of public school and we have been with Agora ever since. It was the best decision I ever made!!
As for the Family Coaches, mine let's us know when activities are going to happen and she does come to the house. They have to see where my daughter is learning, that is completely understandable. We aren't in a public school and they need to report if we have a safe learning environment. After all your home IS your school!

This was a great choice for us. Our son engaged more consistently than in traditional school. He was able to focus without the discipline issues of other students affecting his school day. There is a broad range of classes to choose from. The staff were super helpful and attentive. Our family coach was instrumental in our sons' success and in our success as parents of a distance learning student. It allowed flexibility in scheduling since we could go somewhere as a family and he could continue participating in school. It was a win all around for us.

I agree, if you stay on top of everything and stay organized, etc it really is not that difficult. Yes they seem to change the web site every year, but there really aren't BIG changes and its pretty self-explanatory. If my family coach doesn't know the answer to something he is very good at finding the answer out.
My son is a special needs student and i feel as though AGORA provides him more of what he needs than public school ever did! We are starting his 3rd year at AGORA and I do not have any complaints!
It's nice to not have to argue with my son to attend school and to finally have teachers that are there for him!

The school is not perfect, BUT WHAT IS? I enjoy this school and just like everything else, if you pay attention, read emails, and stay on top of the subjects teachers are teaching then you should do great. You can not be lazy and unorganized. Homeschool is like running a business, so if you think this school sucks and is horrible, then maybe it is not the school. To me, you get out of school what you put into it. I agree the negative comments are totally uncalled for. If you are interested, try it for yourself first. I for one, have been with Agora for 4 years now, I am the learning coach of a 1st, 4th, and 5th grader. Yes, the are also my children as well. Word to the wise, YOU CAN NOT BE LAZY. Homeschool is hard work, but great communication, determination, and consistency will help your students persevere. Got to start somewhere, right?

I have been with Agora since 6th grade. I absolutely love this school. Definitely consider sending your children to this amazing school. Flexible schedules, Phenomenal teachers, challenging work....Of course there is homework because it is school, Of course there are alot of tests because it is school. Best decision I ever made. I now am starting 11th grade and have made a ton of friends.

I don't understand the negative reviews. We've had an incredible experience at Agora. This school takes the students our public schools refuse to educate, or have been bullied out of them. We had 3 students who did beautifully in public school, A-student athletes, never understood how barbaric the other side of our public schools are. 4th child required help- never saw a family turned into criminals so quickly this side of prison. We fled. Agora picked this nice kid up, saw him through a the rest of a shattered year ( inclusive of the concussion syndrome- gift from the bullying at the old district ) , got him his IEP and gave him the confidence needed to go ON. Individual attention, coaching, constant encouragement and understanding- could not recommend it more. Passed a year for the first time in THREE YEARS, no summer school. Thank you, Agora.

I'd post the name of the public school by way of comparison but they love spending tax payer money on lawyers. Never saw such a litigious bunch in my life. Agora? Spends it on education, not an attorney in sight.

It's a fabulous school! Agora Cyber School has been coming to me by way of my desktop computer initially since Kindergarten; then as of sixth grade by way of a laptop. The teachers have full control over the class room which prevents bullying, spamming, and students' misbehavior. Although very rarely are there undesirable teachers, I must say that the school is excellent. There might be technical glitches every now and then, but it's not their fault. They don't just say "Let's make a bug happen today and ruin school for everyone!" Therefore Agora Cyber School deserves rave reviews and kudos.

I have been going to agora cyber charter school since kindergarten and I am in 4th grade this school has great teachers and great staff overall. My grades are all above average because this school has taught me everything I needed to know. For testing I always test near my moms job I do it a temple .

My son graduated last year, Agora is the best homeschool out of all of the others! We had experienced a lot of other home schools Agora is definitely the best!

It helps you get through your classes easier. It's a lot better structured then public school plus you get a lot more 1 on 1 time with teachers.

I have been to agora since September of 2017 im new to agora and im in the 6th grade at first I thought that I was going to be behind because I never been homeschooled on a computer but I gave it a try and I like it.

I'm 12 I go to this school its great I been in it my whole life. The work they give is better than any other school out there.

Great school so far. However, I only see students like myself fail whenever their legal guardians are irresponsible, and when students are truant and not dedicated. Keep in touch with the staff: keep up with your work, go to conventions and most importantly you ask for help!

I mean this school is fun, but they change the website every year, and me and my mom hates that, I'm in 5th grade and I am understanding what an adult would say or think about it.
