Edmentum Review

Depends

Should I use Edmentum?

K-12 online courseware, assessments, and virtual academy for schools and districts - edmentum.com

· 4 days ago

Buy for districts and virtual programs needing a full K-12 catalog, credit recovery, and accredited courses. Homeschool families and small buyers should look elsewhere: sentiment is rough and pricing is opaque.

Gotchas - check before you buy

Guess: coursework, pacing, and grades live in-platform; mid-year migration is painful

medium

Per-student, quote-only pricing negotiated behind closed doors

medium

Homeschool access mostly via resellers like Global Student Network, $150 down

low

State contract rates vary by state and year; verify current terms
