This study examined the impact of using Apex Learning middle school ELA and mathematics Tutorials on student outcomes on the Florida Standards assessment, grade level promotion, and on-time high school entry. Not only was there significant greater achievement on the FSA, results indicate that Apex Learning Tutorials made a positive impact on Pasco County Schools students’ achievement in additional ways:

  • Students who recovered middle school course credits with Tutorials avoided retention and were promoted at a similar rate as students not participating in course recovery
  • 96% of the struggling students recovering courses with Tutorials were promoted to high school on time.
