Reviews of Cyber Academy of South Carolina (School)

Coley Moody

If I could have given o stars I would have. My daughter was an honor student and was to be in the accent Program. I was assured by staff that not only would it be recognized, but catered to! I wish I'd listened to my gut instinct when I signed up for the other K12 school offered for S.C.... Had I Listened to Inctinct, I wouldn't be where I am now. This school made homeschooling for the first year IMPOSSIBLE! I COULDN'T GET THE HEAD OF SCHOOL, I WAS THROWN INTO A PROGRAM FOR DELIQUENT CHILDREN, I WAS GIVEN POINTS FOR NOT DOING THINGS FRIENDS OF MINE NEVER EVER DID, I WAS TALKED DOWN TO, AND MY CHILDREN WERE ADMINISTRATIVELY WITHDRAWN USING ANOTHER STUDENTS INFORMATION!!! I would not recommend ANYONE EVER use this school for any reason . Anyone that would like the entire story and/or emails, ss, links to back up what I say, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'd be more than happy to share. ***Parents considering this school, do yourself (and your children a favor) and DON'T!!!

I really like the homeschooling especially since I have a child with special needs. It makes things a lot easier on us. My sons grades have improved a lot to.

Unrealistic in testing locations especially with multiple grades as well as collaboration of schedules for multiple grades

Horrible OLS System, Doesn’t Display All Work. Once behind it’s impossible to catch back up, Staff are rude and impatient. Do not recommend

My daughter attended Cyber Academy of South Carolina Middle School last year my other daughter is attending CASC High School this year. We have had nothing but problems both years. It is impossible to get in touch with the principle, he is off limits despite my many requests. I call him the Wizard of OZ. The teachers try to resolve the issues but the issues are never resolved. Please expect your child's classes WILL overlap and then you are the one that will be receiving truancy notices because of it. Technical issues all the time. Testing coordinator will give you every detail about testing but the actually time the testing is and room number and does not respond to emails requesting this information. Teachers will blame your student for the school's problems. You can not get in touch with a live person. Trust me it is a waste of time and effort

Every now and then you find a school with teachers that really love their jobs and want to help your child succeed. Unfortunately, this school isn't it. I wish I could give this 0 stars. The teachers here are rude (at least regular ed K-2 and some office staff), unprofessional, lazy, and blatantly disrespectful. They care more about their ego than your child's education. They are responsible for my son losing the entire 1st half of the first grade curriculum due to egos. Save yourself, save your student(s)--Do NOT send your children here. They will not look in the best interest of your child.

The teachers and staff of Cyber Academy of South Carolina are wonderful. I have three children currently enrolled with Cyber Academy of South Carolina and have one child that graduated from CASC last year. They have all always been very helpful with any questions or concerns and are always there to help the family. They make the classes fun and interesting and are always cheerful and happy to be there. Some of the teachers and staff that stood out most to us for my son who graduated last year are Mrs. Gomillion, she called us several times during senior year to check on my son and just lend an ear and a hand with anything he needed. Mrs. Kountz was always there for us because we had tons of questions for senior year, she was patient and polite even with repeated emails from me... Ms. Powell is known by my son as the best english teacher ever. He always enjoyed her classes and encouragement. All of his teachers were always there for him and truly care for their students. My younger children who are still enrolled have enjoyed the K2 group of teachers so much. You can hear the smiles in Mrs. Johnson's voice when she is teaching and helping the students. She is awesome. Mrs. Pinyan is very caring and my daughters have always enjoyed her classes as well. We have attended some face to face outings and of course testing. The teachers here, even though a lot of times they are not your students homeroom teachers, always greet you with care and are happy you are there. Mrs. Eckstrom is always a shining star at these outings, she works very hard to help everyone. We also always appreciate the support we get from administration, such as Mrs. Decatur letting us know and congratulating us about attendance. The awesome newsletters from Mrs. Craft, and Mr. White for test result, report cards and any other important matters. We just appreciate everyone so much and my children and I love our school! Thank you all!

Love the materials you need are sent and the daily schedule set up. My daughter's well being has improved. Teachers get back with you in record time. If you need more help and resources they are - a class, email or phone call away!! This is our 2 year. Love the flexibility. An extra;If you like to socialize and meet classmates there is PTSO and Clubs. . Thanks for the opportunity to spend time and be part of my daughter's education. I am learning also.

Mt kids are in 6th grade and 9th grade at CASC. They started in September 2018. This is a really great school. The teachers are so on it. I do not have to worry about them being treated badly by others. They are at home with me. I love it. So do they.

You could not get anything done unless you deal with the head of school. Your children mean very little to them. K12 is great in principle. Cyber Academy is not there yet. Watch out for those incompetent teachers who want nothing but control over you and your children.

Ben Johnson

Worst school in history for homeschooling head not flexible at all get ready for testing every day no not work with you at all

Rita Delaney

Cyber Academy is an excellent choice for anyone who wants their child to succeed. The academics is excellent and challenging for my grandson. I love that the administrators stay in touch with you to see if you need help or just to make sure that your child is getting what him or her need. We have been enrolled for three years, and I hope that my grandson wants to stay here until he graduated from high school.

We started at CASC after we moved in to help take care of GG . We tried the brick and mortar school but Matthew went from loving school to crying before we even left in the mornings . With CASC he was grown to love school again and is no longer afraid to ask questions no matter what it is. Thank you to all the great teachers and staff that has stuck by as he finds his way.

It's a amazing school with the most amazing teachers. Everyone is so caring and they listen to your needs and concerns.

Catherine Wible

We love schooling with K12 and Cyber Academy of South Carolina, because we know our student is safe at school, because we can start our day when we choose to, so no matter what kind of morning we are having, we don't miss school, because the curriculum is top notch, and because the teachers are great, and they are always available for help when it is needed!

CASC is by far the best public school in South Carolina, perhaps it is the best in the entire USA. For those who can learn on her/his own this is the school for you. If you need someone to sit by your side all the time, this won't be the right school for you. The head of this school built a perfect school for my child and I thank him for it. In USA, we spend all the resources for below average students and that is destroying our nation. However with Mr. Crook, he has the ability to do a lot with what little he has and is allowed by the state. In my opinion, Mr Crook is the perfect candidate to head the Department of Education.

Very disappointed. I have 2 other children at SCVCS thru K12 and that’s been a good experience! With trying to enroll my son in CASC mid-year at semester break, incorrect classes assigned and no one responds to change them and it has been over a week. Homeroom teacher responds ASAP but admin and guidance ignore emails and calls. Either try to enroll at the beginning of the school year only, or try to allow a month so that mistakes can be corrected well ahead of your given start date. We are withdrawing and using the online private school option just to speed things along—SCVCS seems far more organized than CASC (they just weren’t accepting mid-year).

CASC has been a HUGE life saver for us! We're going into our 4th year, and we couldn't be happier! All of the teachers we've had to this point have been completely amazing, and the administrators are no different. We started out at the beginning of the 8th grade year, not really knowing what to expect, but, grades have improved tremendously, (straight A's the last 3 years) self-esteem has improved tremendously, responsibility over her education is amazing! NHS, Beta Club, Drama Club: these are just a sample of the clubs my daughter has been given the chance to excel in... CASC is truly amazing... they care about you as a person and as a family, and they do everything in their power to help you achieve your academic goals.... So, as you can see... OUR FAMILY ARE TRUE PROUD HERONS!!! #cascrocks #cascptsorocks

Very good teacher Mrs.Hightower

This is perfect for working kids. My child was a straight A student in regular school. He got a acting gig in Atlanta and they only film on weekdays. He was going to become truant because of his working schedule. SC has no laws to protect working kids from becoming truant. They do in other states but I guess because we don't have a big film industry here, there are no laws in place except for the ones that say he can't have over 10 non-excused absences. Working does not count as an excused absence. In Atlanta if they are on set 3 days in a row, they have a teacher in place and they have to do school work (really sucks for him because he has to do the work because of the law but he doesn't get any credit for it) Because his grades are good, he doesn't have to attend the class connect sessions. This is great because he can make up work on the weekends when he films on during the week and he doesn't have to be considered absent. It has been a great option for him.

I'm removing my children a.s.a.p. My older children are not learning. All they do is test. You can tell the teachers are under pressure with deadlines. My children were honor roll sudents before k12. Now they failing almost every class due to the lack of work and testing giving by the teachers.

Jackie Angus

My child has been here for a year and it is working out great! Teachers are very supportive. Schedules are flexible too.
