Baltimore, Maryland – IXL Learningdeveloper of personalized learning products used by millions of people around the world, has revealed the findings of a Johns Hopkins University study that claims IXL Mathematics effectiveness in boosting student achievement. The IXL Math impact evaluation meets the rigor required by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and What Works Clearinghouse Tier 1 standards for evidence-based interventions.
He Center for Research and Reform in Education (CRRE) at Johns Hopkins University conducted an independent randomized control trial in spring 2023 in Holland Public Schools in Michigan. The objective of the study was to determine the effectiveness of IXL Math on students in grades 3-5. Half of the classrooms were assigned to the treatment group and used IXL Math to supplement instruction, while the remaining students continued learning as usual.
He investigation revealed the following key findings:
- Students in IXL classrooms outperformed their peers in the control group: IXL Math students significantly outperformed the control group by an average of 10 points on the Star Math assessment.
- Underserved students made greater gains: The improvement in math performance was particularly pronounced among Hispanic, special education, English language learners, and FARMS student populations, with gains ranging from 13 to 17 points.
- A positive correlation between use and achievement: Use of IXL Math was significantly correlated with student performance on the Star Math and M-STEP assessments.
- Teachers overwhelmingly praised their IXL implementation: Approximately 90% of teachers reported that their implementation of IXL was successful and had a significant impact on instruction. According to teachers, the initial professional development provided by IXL was particularly valuable.
“We are proud that this expert-led study clearly confirms the positive impact of IXL on math achievement and places it within ESSA's highest level of effectiveness.” said Bo Bashkov, Research Manager at IXL Learning. “A compelling body of evidence from previous studies spanning 70,000 schools across the United States shows a remarkable pattern: schools using IXL consistently outperform those using other solutions. “This new report corroborates existing findings and further underscores that IXL empowers students and teachers to achieve greater success.”
