Whitmore School Reviews

I searched online for online schools, came across Whitmore, and decided that their difference in educational approach would be the best for my children. They were willing to work with me on getting our situation sorted out, and it was a very positive experience. My son is currently enrolled in his freshman year in high school, so he has taken US government honors, geometry, computers, English 9, and Spanish. His teachers have been very helpful. They've been very responsive to any questions he has. Getting feedback from them has been amazing. It has exceeded my expectations.

We looked into Whitmore School with their website. It wasn't too expensive and it seemed like the right fit for us. The enrollment process was very easy and their personnel was very friendly. I have two daughters with them. My first one has been through honors level, 9th, 10th, and 11th English. She's been going there two and a half years and my other daughter has been going for half a year.

This is our first experience with homeschooling/online schooling and it's been wonderful. My daughter was on home instruction prior to it, and Whitmore made the transition very easy for us. I have her counselor's personal number. They're easy to reach. My daughter also has great communication with her guidance counselor as well as her teachers. The teachers respond very quickly to her concerns, and she is excelling in all her classes, like straight As. Whitmore is a great fit for my daughter. The quality of education is higher than what she would get in-person, and the cost is very reasonable. I'm a public school teacher, and they're doing the work for me. That's a plus.

Whitmore works for some kids, but it doesn't for others. For somebody who's very quick and tests really well, it's gonna be amazing. It just isn't that for a kid who already struggles in school. The process has been incredibly slow, including getting feedback from the teachers, and there's no predetermined lesson. There's a syllabus, but there's no video of, "This is what we're gonna cover today." It went like, "You can go source these things to learn more about this."

Whitmore was easily accessible, user-friendly, and accredited to all public schools. The enrollment process was very simple. Everything was done online. Once you get enrolled into the school, a counselor speaks to your child and makes sure that the plan that they're going to do is what they're wanting to do. It's also very inexpensive for what I am paying for. I feel like I'm getting a whole lot for how much it costs.

Our child is struggling with social anxiety and we took her out of high school and looked around online. We liked Whitmore the most out of the things that we saw. We like the parental feature set to be able to monitor our child's progress. Their staff and orientation were very welcoming. Our child liked the most the courses and things that they had as electives. The price was a good fit as well so we went with it.

I would like to take a moment to share my family's experience with the Whitmore School. To be clear, this is school done online from home, not necessarily a "home school program". My wife and I never taught them any subject. From the very beginning, we knew we made the right decision with our kids. Our kids did not care about a traditional high school experience. They wanted to be able to trade that for an experience that allowed them to pursue a parallel path in Performing Arts. The curriculum and flexibility around the schedule allowed them to do just that. However, we were also allowed to grow as a family unit by taking trips throughout the year more frequently and spend more time with each other.

I attended Whitmore for all four years of high school, and I loved every minute of it! Though this school is completely remote, I feel like I really got to know my teachers and guidance counselor personally; everyone is super friendly and helpful! As a self-motivated student, the structure of Whitmore's classes really worked well for me. The flexibility of the classes gave me the freedom to make my own schedule every day and have a life beyond high school.

I was very fortunate to find Whitmore School for my son. While attending boarding school out of state my son suddenly lost his Father at the end of his Junior year. Following his Father's death, my son decided that he wanted to be close to home but did not want to attend the very large public school that he left in favor of a small academically-oriented boarding school. Whitmore School provided a distance learning solution that offered academic rigor, personal instruction and involvement in a self-paced environment that allowed my son to succeed with geographic independence.

Whitmore was the perfect fit for our motivated daughter. All of her teachers were dedicated to providing personal guidance and support that is not always found in a traditional high school. Her guidance counselor was with her throughout the duration helping our daughter navigate her way through High school and prepare her for the collage road ahead. Our daughter is leaving Whitmore with the confidence and pride that will launch her on her way to a very bright future!

The enrollment process was pretty straightforward and the communication was very good. Everyone was quick to respond and the teachers have been nice. I've spoken with the guidance counselors and administrators there as well and it's all been positive.

Whitmore High school was the perfect choice for my daughter, Kathleen, her advisor went above and beyond to make this journey work! Thank you so much to all of you! We recommend Whitmore High by choosing a wonderful education, hardworking staff & excellent teachers! Extremely Grateful to fulfill her high school education from this establishment.

We did online schooling for student safety. We did some virtual open houses with some schools and we liked what Whitmore was offering and it was a legitimate program. We liked the way that they had everything set up. There was a parent dashboard as well as a student dashboard and our student has access to the tools that he needs to succeed. We really liked the asynchronous portion of it as well. My child can do school whenever he wants to do it and it doesn't have to be between certain set hours. He can go right in the middle of the night if he wants to. We love that. His credits are going to be transferred in from his other school and will get him that diploma at the end of his high school year. We liked the cost too as it wasn't that bad.

Enrolling with Whitmore was very easy. Everybody's been very friendly. My son doesn't really love it though. He likes in-person school, but he's doing it to get through. One thing that I like about it is that they're allowed to make corrections on their work. He ended up getting all A's in his classes because they allow him to make corrections.

We contacted Whitmore and did everything online. The reps talked to us about the payment plans, because it's not a free online school, and talked us through why it's different. It was very straightforward and easy. I'm not one of those people who like to get all bogged down. If it's getting confusing, I'll bounce. The counselors have a lot of suggestions when you run into a problem like staying up to date on things the way we think my daughter should. At one point, we were gonna disenroll her, based nothing on Whitmore, but because she wasn't keeping up and we were gonna put her in public school. But the principal called and we talked about how my daughter could help her change her mindset and how to keep up with things. So we ended up keeping her in Whitmore and she's been doing a lot better.

Whitmore has been a great place for our kids to complete their high school. The curriculum has been challenging and the teachers have been helpful and responsive. I highly recommend Whitmore to anyone. Also, they teach classic studies and no woke agenda.

As a student at Whitmore, I have nothing but gratitude in my heart. I love the quick responses that the staff bring to the table. Thanks to the amazing classes and overall program that is provided by Whitmore, I am able to graduate early!

- The school is trying to assure a quality educational level.

The quality of the education with Whitmore seemed higher than a lot of the others. They were paying attention, organized, and accredited. They offered what we needed, which was asynchronous work-at-your-own-pace type of schooling. Not some place where my daughter would have to log in at a certain time every day and interact with other kids and the teacher. She just needed to be able to do it at her own pace. The enrollment process was good. We filled out some information which generated emails, and those emails contained links that allowed us to get on the website and set up a student account and a parent account. Whitmore has fair price and they are certainly more affordable than a lot of the schools that are out there. But there's no loss of the expectation just because we're paying less. We're still receiving a high-end experience.

I was looking for an entirely self-paced virtual high school. We signed up with Whitmore School and had quick responses from the administration and staff. Interactions were positive. My child is a freshman and she's taking performance studies, Algebra 1, US Government, and their freshman seminar class. She can do most of it on her own but she does require a tutor. Whitmore is inexpensive compared to private schools. They have teachers and things are all done by video. It's mastery-based learning instead of being taught to pass. This is another reason I chose it for my child. But Whitmore is not quite right or a good fit for our child and we won't be going back next year.

I have two children that were in need of an alternative educational experience once the pandemic shut down their schools. End of the story is they both finished high school in three years and my oldest is currently in college and my youngest has already been accepted into her college of choice and is scheduled to start in September. My older child is in her second semester and scored a 4.0 GPA for her first semester of college.

My daughter joined Whitmore 3yrs ago when she was facing medical challenges that made it impossible for her to attend physical school and complete assignments promptly. My daughter got a medical cure over the course of time and has returned back to normal way of living. Through the whole ordeal, Whitmore worked with her/us step by step and at my daughter's pace too. My daughter is smarter, more intelligent, and college ready because of the exceptional educational services/classes at Whitmore. Started with a GPA of 2.20 and ending at a GPA 3.40. Yes she is college ready!!!

My son is taking courses one by one with the study-at-home program, and he's doing excellent. He likes it a lot, and the cost is great compared to others as well. He was in Laurel Springs before, which is another online school, and you get as much involvement from teachers at Whitmore for less than 25% of the cost. They respond within one or two hours.

The enrollment process was very easy and simple. They walked me through all the steps and it was pretty seamless. The personnel was very informative. They kept me up to date and were always there to answer any questions. Also, my son really enjoys it. He ahs taken Algebra 1, World History Honors, Geography, and a Government.

We like that Whitmore is accredited. We also like their schooling options. There are so many online schools now but Whitmore's program offered honors classes which we found a lot of free schools and even some of the ones that cost money didn't offer. Our daughter's in her sophomore year right now. For her junior and senior year, one of the things they offer in the more elevated program is help with college tests. Some of the programs that we know offered good classes, but you had to log in so many times a week or so many times a day and that minimized things because our daughter was having a baby and we didn't know when that was going to happen. With Whitmore, we like the flexibility of the schedule, the classes and the other things that they offer.

Whitmore School is a good online option. Our daughter's taking a full senior year of courses and they're challenging but very good.

Our son's had a positive experience with all the courses at Whitmore. One course has been a little bit more challenging than the others. But overall, it's been a great experience. I would recommend it.

The enrollment process at Whitmore was super easy. My son has a medical condition. I like the fact that he could do it from home. It was a total game-changer. They're really good at Whitmore about making sure that he understands the material. It's not like, “Okay, do your assignment and you're done.” They communicate with him really well. They follow-up. They really try to get the students to be accountable for all the communication. They have an awesome program and they have it really well organized.

Going to Whitmore was safer for me. I didn't feel safe going to regular high school, because I don't like to communicate with others. Their enrollment process was really easy. We just had to send out information about myself and where I lived, and I was good. I took United States History Honors and it's going well so far. I took Algebra 1, which is really difficult to understand. For the math teacher, whenever I tell her about how I don't understand, sometimes she just repeats the same thing she said before and doesn't explain it more thoroughly. Because for sixth grade and seventh, the math was really messed up in my school, so I didn't really learn anything. I hope that she can go a little easier and explain a little slower and better. But all the English courses I've taken are really easy and I love them.

The enrollment process at Whitmore was easy. We did most of it online. The communication was mostly by email. It's a good option if you can afford it and you have a lousy local school system.
