Edmentum wins SmartBrief on EdTech Readers' Choice Award for Assessment & Data Analytics

Edmentum is pleased to announce that Accelerating Student Achievement won the 2026 SmartBrief on EdTech Readers' Choice Award in the Assessment & Data Analytics category, recognizing products that support data-driven instruction and testing. Selected by SmartBrief's readership of K-12 educators, administrators, and instructional technology leaders, this award reflects the trust practitioners place in the tools they rely on every day.

Many districts utilize disconnected tools for assessment, intervention, and instruction - leaving educators to reconcile fragmented data across systems rather than act on it, narrowing the window for effective instructional response. Accelerating Student Achievement resolves this by combining AI-powered insights, personalized curricula, and intensive supports within one platform, so educators receive actionable, real-time insights to accelerate progress and improve outcomes for every student.

The solution's impact is validated across 15 independent ESSA-rated studies, with research confirming learning 2-3x more effective than traditional interventions across student groups, district sizes, and regions. Efficient, research-backed assessments reduce testing time by up to 40% and provide reliable predictions of student proficiency across state tests, the PSAT, SAT, and ACT - enabling leaders to identify risk early and intervene before gaps widen.
