OVERVIEW
During the 2020–2021 academic year, White County Schools
implemented Imagine Edgenuity English Language Arts and Math
courses with students in Grades 7–9. On average, students used
Imagine Edgenuity ELA courses for 45 hours and 96% of students
completed their course. In math, students used the course an
average of 36 hours and 62% of students completed their course.
To measure the impact of Imagine Edgenuity on reading and math
skills, Imagine Learning analyzed MAP Growth Reading data from 26
Imagine Edgenuity students and 26 nonparticipating peers, as well
as MAP Growth Math data from 45 Imagine Edgenuity students and
45 nonparticipating peers.1
RESULTS
From Fall 2020 to Spring 2021, Imagine Edgenuity students exhibited
significantly greater gains than their nonparticipating peers on
the MAP Growth Reading test (Figure 1). Notably, the performance
of Edgenuity ninth-grade students improved by seven Rasch Unit
(RIT) score points on the MAP Growth Reading test, while their
nonparticipating peers declined by four. Additionally, 65% of Imagine
Edgenuity users met expected growth on MAP Growth Reading,
compared to 42% of non-users. When examining performance on the MAP Growth Math test, similar trends emerged.
Imagine Edgenuity students demonstrated significantly greater growth than their peers (Figure 2). Further, 64% of
Imagine Edgenuity users exceeded expected growth on MAP Growth Math, compared to 38% of non-users.
