Freckle Boosts Math and Reading Growth in Alabama

Baldwin County Public Schools, Mobile, Alabama (AL)

Abstract:

Each spring, students in Baldwin County Public Schools in Mobile, Alabama, take the ACAP, aiming for a score of Level 3 or above, the state’s proficiency threshold. Students in quickly growing Baldwin County increased the percentage of students scoring proficient and above in both math and reading from 2023 to 2024, an accomplishment that educators in Baldwin County attribute in large part to their Freckle implementation. Educators Shawn Kavanaugh (Grade 2, Belforest Elementary) and Cara Dube (Grade 6, Magnolia School) have seen not only growth in students’ math and reading skills but also increased engagement between school and home while using this tool..
