San Diego, Dec. 16, 2011 (Shareholders Foundation) -- An investigation on behalf of investors in shares of K12 Inc. (NYSEARCA: LRN) over possible Violations of Federal Securities Laws was announced.

Specifically, the investigation concerns whether certain statements regarding K12 Incs business, its prospects and its operations were potentially materially false and misleading at the time they were made.

K12 Inc. reported that its 12months Revenue rose from $226.24million for a 12months period ending on June 30, 2008 to $522.43million ending for a 12months period on June 30, 2011. However, its Net Income fell over the same time periods from $33.77million to $12.79million.

Then on December 12 a media report entitled Profits and Questions at Online Charter Schools raised serious concerns about K12s business practices, alleging that its schools inflate their student rosters, are underperforming academically, have detrimental student-to-teacher ratios and gain wrongful access to public funds. On December 13, 2011 K12 Inc responded in a statement to the article and said the article is unfair and one-sided, and advances an anti-parent choice policy agenda.
