What parents say

Parents like that Power Homeschool is hands-off and cheaper than an accredited online school, with engaging video teachers and a dashboard that tracks progress automatically, calling it a good fit for working parents or independent learners. The most common criticism is inconsistent rigor and content quality: some lessons feel repetitive or dated, and Acellus has faced complaints over insensitive or outdated material in a few courses, which the company says it has partly revised. Reviewers also warn that pricing has risen sharply in recent years, so it's worth checking current rates before committing.

Parents love

  • Hands-off: video lessons plus automatic grading
  • Dashboard makes progress tracking easy for parents
  • Mastery-based pacing lets kids move at their own speed

Common complaints

  • Content-quality complaints (dated/insensitive material in places)
  • Rigor varies by course; some report too-easy questions
  • Price has risen sharply in recent years
