Freckle and Lalilo Elevate Math and Reading Scores in South Carolina

Anderson School District One, Williamston, South Carolina (SC)

Abstract:

Anderson School District One in Williamston, South Carolina, has many high-performing students but is a low-funded district, meaning leaders must be selective about what they invest in and must thoroughly vet all tools to ensure they will be impactful. At the beginning of the 2022–2023 school year, Anderson One switched assessment programs to begin using Renaissance Star Assessments in order to access detailed information about students’ knowledge and mastery of standards-based skills. Shortly thereafter, the district added Freckle for Math and ELA, as well as Lalilo. K–5 students in the district have seen their growth scores soar using these Renaissance tools.
