Sahuarita Unified School District boosts 3-8 proficiency with Discovery Education and 18 positive effects

Sahuarita Unified School District (SUSD), a district serving 5,800 students in Arizona, sought to improve grade-level proficiency. With funding from the Freeport-McMoRan Foundation, they partnered with vendor Discovery Education, implementing their Discovery Education Experience and Science Techbook services.

The solution from Discovery Education led to measurable academic improvement. An evaluation study found 18 positive effects across grades and subjects, concluding that use of Discovery Education led to increased proficiency in math, science, and reading for grades 3-8 and resulted in better outcomes than would have been attained without it.
