SAN MATEO, Calif. — August 15, 2018 — Today, IXL Learning, the K-12 personalized learning platform used by 1 in 9 U.S. students, announced it has conducted research studies in 12 U.S. states that reveal schools using IXL consistently outperform schools using any other program or method.

Trusted by schools in 95 of the 100 top districts, IXL makes personalized learning simple for teachers to implement through its Continuous Diagnostic, comprehensive curriculum and guidance, and actionable real-time Analytics.

IXL’s efficacy studies examined all 42,940 public schools in 12 states (including many of the most populous), and represent some of the largest research reports that have ever been published in the edtech industry. All schools using IXL were included in the study regardless of their amount of usage or methods of implementation. Even so, the results in all states show that IXL schools score higher on standardized assessments than non-IXL schools, by as much as 16 percentile points. And, schools that used IXL for multiple years demonstrated increasing gains over time.
