We haven't started one but we're in one. Only k-7 math, algebra, and 2-6 language arts/writing are included, but within those courses, placement and progress are entirely individualized. The organizer sets the starting point, I assume, but as a parent I can adjust it in half-grade increments if the placement isn't right.
Maybe I should add that these are online-only courses with no human interactive component. The course gives a recorded lecture, then some problems to complete, then goes on to another lesson. The sessions are timed at 20 minutes, but each topic has a set number of problems (usually 5-15), so the progress rate varies wildly depending on how fast the student works that day and on whether they work extra sessions.
At first we felt there were too many of each problem type, so we requested the gifted setting from our organizer. Same material, less repetition.
