  This is the dumbest home school anyone has ever created, at least coming from another state.. his prior school had to send the transcripts over and over and they wouldnt accept them.. this put our son 2months behind and because of that he had to make up 170assignments in 2 weeks while in a soccer school or else he would be dropped from the school. That time wasted had a huge and negative impact his freshman year and has even effected soccer now in his sophomore year

  The school claims for it to ‘be at your own pace’ which is not true whatsoever. The general use of tech is also very hard to use, as it seems like it was made in the early 2000s. Even though they are very lenient with late work, they place 6-8 lessons a day, which adds up VERY easily and can become overwhelming ESPECIALLY during a global pandemic and a time of stress and self-isolation.

  This school is BEYOND awful! If I could give them NO stars, I would. First let me state that their enrollment process is worse than a standard public school, and you will have a customer service person call you at LEAST twice a day until you complete enrollment to hound you about completing it. Second, the teachers ARE very nice, but they are not super responsive. My son is in third grade, and it took two days to get a response from one of his teachers regarding missing school supplies that would effect his lessons. As a result of her delayed response, he fell behind two days in his lesson and had to catch up! Then there's technical support. I called because one of the programs needed was not working correctly on my son's computer. The tech support agent I spoke with took remote control of my computer, and despite my objections, proceeded to install not one, but THREE programs on my son's computer. Without asking my permission! I was VERY upset by this so I asked to speak to a supervisor. The supervisor was beyond rude, and told me that it was MY fault for allowing the support agent to install the programs because I could have just moved my mouse to take control back of my computer at any time - something that was NEVER explained to me. Based on these EXTREMELY negative experiences within the first WEEK of the school year, I decided to withdraw my son from Connections Academy. When I tried to obtain his withdraw paperwork so I could enroll him in a new school, I called the local Houston office. I was sent to three different voicemails, ALL three were full and couldn't leave a message. I called corporate, who also tried to reach someone at the Houston office, who couldn't reach someone there either and basically told me there was nothing they could do to help me but for me to just keep trying to call the Houston office or to just go there in person. I called a couple more times, finally got through to a secretary who was able to transfer me to a live human being. This school COULD be great, but unfortunately their staff just really seems to not care at all. I wish I would've read more reviews of TCAH before enrolling my son there. It really wasn't worth all the hassle and effort of getting him in there.

  I hate this school so much. Good for anti social people.
