NEW YORK, July 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Attorney Advertising -- Bronstein, Gewirtz & Grossman, LLC is investigating potential claims on behalf of purchasers of the securities of K12, Inc. ("K12" or the "Company") (NYSE: LRN). Such investors are advised to contact Peretz Bronstein or his investor relations analyst, Yael Hurwitz at info@bgandg.com or 212-697-6484.

The investigation concerns whether K12 and certain of its officers and/or directors have violated Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

On October 27, 2015, a study about online charter schools was published by Stanford's Center for Research on Education Outcomes ("CREDO") and explicitly mentioned K12. In the press release, CREDO stated that "[i]nnovative new research suggests that students of online charter schools had significantly weaker academic performance in math and reading, compared with their counterparts in conventional schools." On that same day, K12 reported poor financial results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2015. Following these releases, K12 stock dropped $1.93 per share, or 15.8%, to close at $10.25 on October 27, 2015. On that same day, after market hours, K12 filed its 10-Q Quarterly for the same fiscal quarter, and disclosed that it had received a subpoena from the Attorney General of the State of California, Bureau of Children's Justice regarding an investigation styled "In the Matter of the Investigation of: For-Profit Virtual Schools." Over the next three days, K12 stock dropped a cumulative $0.54 per share, or 5.2%, to close at $9.71 on October 30, 2015.
