Fort Worth Independent School District, TX
Why Not Both? Fort Worth Doubles Up with Core5 and PowerUp
"Lexia's data is robust and easy to navigate. Teachers can use it to help kids, and principals use it to help teachers help their students.”
—Marcey Sorensen, Ed.D., Chief Academic Officer, Fort Worth Independent School District
Packed with accessible data-rich tools, Lexia’s products are invaluable assets for the Fort Worth Independent School District in Texas. With Core5, the district succeeded in reducing the number of elementary students reading below grade level by more than half.
That’s no small feat for a school district faced with tough challenges.
At Carroll Peak Elementary School alone, the overwhelming majority of students are from economically disadvantaged households. Lexia’s role as a powerful educational partner quickly climbed in esteem among Fort Worth’s teachers and students. This prompted the district to incorporate PowerUp and bring the same success to middle and high school students.
