I appreciate the teacher support

I appreciate the teacher support, this year was a bit rocky with the shift to a new interface product with CANVAS. It is going well though and we enjoy K12.

My experience with the teachers in this Washington virtual academy have kept me up to date on everything going on with my students, that is the one thing that is very important to me is knowing what's coming up and what's missing and they have done a very great job of doing so.

The flexibility and quality instruction has allowed our family and especially our two students the ability to succeed while being able to follow their passions in piano and swim. It has opened up opportunities that in person school simply could not provide, and has been a blessing to allow our family to spend more quality time together.

"Bringing the fun back"

This year has been very difficult for both the Student and their Learning Coach. It certainly was not as great as last year. All year long my son said would say, " mom, tell them to make it fun again!" And he would send them feedback as well. It has been a very long year. I can say that the changes seem to have been difficult for everyone... staff, teachers, kids... now the year is almost done.. and there have been some changes in the more positive direction.. but there could be and should be quite a bit more to meet the standards that we enjoyed that were great during the 2024-25 school year. But lacking in 2025-2026.

The teachers are great

The teachers are great. We are in the flex program and my kids love it and it fits well with our schedule. We love having our kids home with us and we know they are learning in a safe environment with no bullying or shaming or fear of something happening while our kids are not home. I recommend K12 WAVA to everyone.

We have been frustrated with the lack of communication.

We have been frustrated with the lack of communication from some teachers. Doing the assignments has been clunky to get into and read the list of assignments. It's not a 'clean' system as far a where to find everything that needs to be done. It has been a very frustrating year to say the least.

In my opinion

In my opinion, Texas, virtual academy was way better than Washington state I don’t like that. My children felt stressed out trying to find stuff for class and there’s literally no books. I feel like books are important. My kids have been in K-12 for years and to see this setting change, it’s very disappointing. I’m not the only parent who feels this way the education portion I get it. Teachers can only do what they can do, but I feel like our children are suffering as well.

Happy

Overall, I am happy with WAVA. We have attended for several years now. I think the last round of improvements you made to the system still makes it a bit clunky compared to years prior but it is getting easier to navigate. It would be nice if you had more meet ups in King County.
