What parents say

Families enjoy the modern videos, game-style rewards and freedom to mix grade levels, and parents value the automatic tracking. The main criticism is depth: reviewers call the science fragmented and too short for full-year courses, suggest using it as a supplement, and note evolution is left out through 8th grade.
