To understand the relationship between the use of i-Ready Classroom Mathematics (iRCL) core curriculum and performance on the Kansas Assessment Program (KAP) in mathematics, Curriculum Associates evaluated 2022–2023 KAP Mathematics scores and proficiency levels for students with access to iRCL compared to students without access to iRCL. The study is based on more than 3,000 Kansas students in Grades 3–5.
The research findings demonstrate positive differences between KAP scores and rates of proficiency for students attending schools with iRCL compared to similar students attending schools that do not leverage iRCL.
