Clyde Consolidated Independent School District, Texas
Imagine MyPath Contributed to
Success on NWEA MAP Growth
AssessmentsOverview
During the 2023–2024 academic year, Clyde Consolidated Independent
School District in Texas implemented Imagine MyPath with students
in Grades K–5. Over the course of the school year, 532 students used
Imagine MyPath for math and 533 used it for reading. Students used
Imagine MyPath Math for an average of 13.2 hours and passed 31.8
lessons. They also spent 14.2 hours and passed an average of 26.0
lessons in Imagine MyPath Reading.
Results
To measure changes in academic performance, Imagine Learning
analyzed NWEA MAP Growth assessment data. The analysis included multiple linear regressions to investigate
the relationship between lessons passed in Imagine MyPath and growth in NWEA MAP Growth scores. After
controlling for fall achievement, grade level, and other demographic factors, passing more lessons in Imagine
MyPath was found to have a positive and statistically significant impact on both math (Figure 1, p < .01) and
reading (Figure 2, p < .01) growth. This positive correlation was consistent across all grades, genders, and
demographic groups, including economically disadvantaged students and students with disabilities.

Second, students who passed more than the median number of Imagine MyPath lessons for their grade level
(high-fidelity users) were statistically matched (based on prior performance and demographics) to students
who passed less than the median number of Imagine MyPath lessons for their grade level. High-fidelity Imagine
MyPath users showed significantly higher growth in their NWEA MAP Growth scores compared to their low-
fidelity user peers. For instance, higher-fidelity users achieved an average of 4.46 points higher growth in math
scores than their lower user peers (Figure 3, p < .001).2 Similarly, higher-fidelity users had an average of 3.92
points higher growth in reading scores than their lower user peers (Figure 4, p < .001).3

2 The median Imagine MyPath Math lessons passed per grade were: 8 for Kindergarten, 14 for Grade 1, 13 for Grade 2, 29 for Grade 3, 66.5 for Grade 4 and 30 for Grade 5.
3 The median Imagine MyPath Reading lessons passed per grade were: 6 for Kindergarten, 31 for Grade 1, 43 for Grade 2, 16 for Grade 3, 21 for Grade 4 and 17 for Grade 5.
Overall, these findings demonstrate the effectiveness of Imagine MyPath in enhancing math and reading skills for
students in Grades K–5. The correlational analyses indicate that students who passed more lessons experienced
accelerated growth. Furthermore, the matched analyses reveal that students who engaged with the program
more consistently showed significantly greater growth compared to those who spent less time using it.
