## AltSchool Reviews
  ### 1. Nice to have

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Staffing and Recruiting | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**What do you like best about AltSchool?**

I love the interactions that the students can have with science. I am very happy that schools pay to engage students. I personally believe that everyone should have a proper time learning science, because it is a hands on type of learning. While not every teacher can do that, this can.

**What do you dislike about AltSchool?**

I don't like that it is so technology based. I like when students have the freedom to use technology or not. I do not like that it is not that accessible to districts who do not have the money to afford programs like this. I do not think they are spending their money correctly and it is hurting the students. 

**Recommendations to others considering AltSchool:**

Try it! It's pretty good motivation if nothing else. They really try to teach and to give hands on experience to kids. It is nice to know that there is a company out there that focuses on teaching and not just money. However, this costs money. 

**What problems is AltSchool solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have hopefully solved the problem of bad teachers. I don't like when teachers do not try to engage their students, and this gives them an opportunity to learn.

  ### 2. AltSchool Review by Abby

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 28, 2018

**What do you like best about AltSchool?**

The concept of the school is interesting, and I think its an innovative idea. It seems like the the leadership is well experienced and they seem like they know what they are doing/talking about. Also free snacks are always a bonus.

**What do you dislike about AltSchool?**

I think there are good ideas presented but not tried for long enough to see results, because there's no time to see an effect if its not immediate. I also felt that the senior management isn't ever in the schools, and theres very little job security especially with the high turnover on jobs. 

**What problems is AltSchool solving and how is that benefiting you?**

its initially a very exciting process to be apart of, and the benefits of having flexible time off is very appealing.
