Primavera is a good school, when I first started my classes a while ago the teachers were very fast at responding. Now that I have started new classes they wont answer any of my questions! They also didn't let me chose the classes I wanted to take. At Primavera they don't have breaks between different classes, you know like fall break. Oh and how about ask your students what they want to take instead of giving them classes they have no desire to take then have them fail because they aren't interested??

Primavera Online High School has enabled me to get a head start for my future career. All of the teachers and staff are extremely helpful and give you one on one attention. Because of Primavera, I was able to start college early. Overall, Primavera is the best high school in Arizona and I am thankful everyday that they gave me this chance to succeed.
My daughter took her English class through Primavera Online High School summer session. She definitely had to earn her grade. The instructor was very helpful in providing feedback to her written assignments that helped increase her grade on her final paper. There was plenty of opportunity for her to earn extra points to help her grade as well. I would definitely recommend anyone to take this class that can put the time and effort into it. She is ready to start her next class for the second session.
Complete crap They DO NOT know what they are doing or how to handle their students properly. One block your in a math class and half-way through it they decide to put you in another math class for NO REASON WHAT-SO-EVER. This has happened countless times; it's not a one time occurrence. This puts you so far behind and makes it hard to get enough credits because the new teacher that you transfer to gives you 0's because you didn't turn in work when you weren't even enrolled in the class to do it in the first place Also, their diploma only recognized by a couple of colleges, good luck getting into a good one with their diploma
I would highly recommend going to a different school.
I ended up having to switch to online school because of some health problems part way through high school. I tried two schools; I started with Chandler Online Academy, but I didn't like the way it was set up so I switched to Primavera Online High School. And I loved it! The teachers were interactive and responded the same day, usually within half an hour, to any questions I had. In addition, all of the course material was very well organized.
Corrupt from the top down. CEO is completely disconnected from the company and only cares about how much money he can get from the state for enrollment. Supposed COO/Superintendent which by the way is the CEO's sister, while highly educated and experienced on the school end of things, has absolutely NO CLUE how to run a business. Runs it off of "trust" which is basically, tell her everything you do, every second of every day, tattle on your fellow co-workers and brown nose as much as you can and you'll have a long and fruitful career here! Unfortunately all it's done is create an extremely toxic, co-dependent and unproductive environment of constant paranoia and manipulation. It's like a real life version of Hunger Games in a supposed "professional environment". She has built up a "leadership" team of inexperienced, weak individuals that she can control and manipulate because they are truly grateful to be in their positions....why you ask? Well that would be because they wouldn't be in the positions they are in, anywhere else. Simply put. A few examples...a VP of Operations who has no experience running the operations of a company but in fact comes from a background of simply Consulting for companies, an Assistant Superintendent who has never done anything to justify her being in that type of role at all, a Controller who has no CPA but gets to keep his job because he can keep the companies dirty little secrets...the list goes on an on. I could go on for a while with several examples to prove my point but I will just simply say this, it's the most toxic environment I have ever worked in. It's disgusting. No amount of money or supposed "opportunities" could keep me there.
This was a great way to end my high school career. My only complaint is the communication but the site is easy to navigate and the teachers are very kind and helpful. Great if you want to get ahead or have a job.
I've only completed 4 courses in Primavera, but I like it quite a bit! My only complaint is that the "My Success 2.0" course has a lot of grammar mistakes throughout it. Most of the mistakes are obvious, for example, one question that was on many tests (including the Final Exam) was "True or False: In order to budget correctly, you have to spend less than you learn" or something of that sort. In case you didn't notice, it says "less than you learn" when it's really supposed to say "less than you earn." Other than that, my experience at Primavera has so far been pleasant and easy breezy.
MASK and MASK The Magazine believe Primavera Online High School is an excellent alternative to traditional education. Giving children the opportunity to have a flexible schedule allows them to work at their own pace and in the comfort of their home which builds confidence and a strong sense of accomplishment. Students learn time management and how to prioritize projects while getting an excellent education. I personally know several students who have had great results and success at Primavera Online High School. Their skills and education have prepared them for the 21st Century work place.
I had a pretty great experience with Primavera. I really liked that the classes were flexible enough to fit my schedule. The teachers were also SUPER helpful. Seriously go to the synchronous session and/or ask for teachers for help, it's worth it! Because of all this I was able to graduate early, so work hard it really pays off!!
