A rigorous, independent study indicated that EduGuide can significantly increase two key predictors of STEM and college-career success: standardized math test scores and GPA. The study of 861 students measured EduGuide’s impact at the elementary, middle and high school levels by comparing students who used EduGuide to similar students who did not use EduGuide after controlling for other factors.
Compared to the average comparison group student who scored at the 50th percentile on a state standardized math test, statistically similar EduGuide elementary and middle school students scored 10% higher. Likewise, students who used EduGuide had higher grades than the comparison group.
The EduGuide skills students learn help them develop habits that can translate into higher grades. Students report that EduGuide helps them to change their approach to school, which is reflected in their grades. Here's what they have to say:
“I used to not pay attention in class and now that I have been paying more attention I get better grades.”
“I used to cram school work into a day or two and now I chip away on homework nearly every day.”
“I used to not engage in class activities and now I ask the teacher questions and make sure I properly understand the lesson.”
“i work hard to keep my grade up and encourage myself every day to get up get ready and go to school”
