What Are Educators Saying About Acuity?
"Acuity has helped Park Hill become more focused on the progress individual students make toward proficiency on Missouri's Grade Level Expectations (GLEs). This easy-to-use assessment solution provides teachers powerful predictive assessment information and enables them to create and administer high quality GLE-aligned classroom assessments."
Jeff Klein, Ph.D.
Executive Director of Research, Evaluation, and Assessment
Park Hill School District
"Giving teachers the ability to get immediate feedback, without having to grade a pile of papers, is very powerful. For example, as one teacher watched her students answer questions on a test, she pointed to one question on her computer screen and said, 'They should know that.' So, when the test was done, she immediately started re-teaching. This truly expands the power of Acuity in the classroom and its strength as a formative tool to immediately inform classroom instruction. Teachers who have taken our course on using the clickers and Acuity report that students are doing better, the instructional activities that can be assigned engage students, and some students have actually asked for more formative tests to show how they are doing."

Executive Director of Student Achievement Support

"Teachers are excited about the ability to construct custom tests and tutorials for a student or group of students. And administrators are able to go online and quickly review the tests and tutorials. Another very exciting feature is the distractor analysis that allows us to determine where in the learning process a student went off course."
Dr. Cephus Jackson
Assistant Superintendent for Elementary Education
Clayton County Public Schools
"As Glenwood’s test coordinator, I am directly seeing the many results of Acuity. One of my main concerns had been that we were teaching at one level and assessing at another. It has helped us raise our expectations in a realistic, systematic way."
