Question 5

Does Zearn Math work?

Accepted Answer

Zearn Math earned a Tier 1 'Strong' rating from Evidence for ESSA â€” the highest designation from a nationally recognized, independent clearinghouse that evaluates education research to help schools, districts, and states select evidence-based programs. This top rating confirms that Zearn Math meets the rigorous evidence standards outlined in the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). This rating is based on a recent large-scale randomized controlled trial conducted from 2022â€“2024 with 10,000 students in grades 3â€“5 across 64 schools in a large urban Texas district. The study found causal evidence of positive, statistically significant impacts of Zearn on student math achievement, as measured by the nationally normed NWEA MAP Growth assessment.
