“I have had some of the best teachers who take the time to show interest in their students. The teachers always keep you informed and make sure you are doing the best you can. The website is very easy to maneuver through and the schedule was great for a first-time online student. Thank you all for allowing me the opportunity to be a part of the K12 family.”
