So far Schoology has been the only LMS that has met the majority of my needs: Easy, Flexible, Aligned, Parent connection, Shareable with other teachers, calendar, grades (total points or weighted), Rubric Grading if wanted, Paperless, Google Drive integration, Assessment tools, and so much more. Oh yeah, FREE. That is music to my ears. Students are as engaged as you allow. If you utilize the features Schoology offers, they will be quite engaged. Most common comment from students: “Everyday I know exactly what is going on in class.” The only fault I see is that it sometimes gets “stuck” loading something and I have to refresh the page and reload. I highly recommend Schoology.
