Case Study: Burlington Central High School achieves 95% credit recovery success with Edmentum Courseware

Providing a Roadmap to Graduation and Beyond in Burlington

Burlington Central High School needed a more customizable, blended credit‑recovery solution to help students who had fallen behind academically and lost confidence. Traditional online programs didn’t offer the level of flexibility or teacher control the school wanted, so Central Academy sought a platform that could be tailored to align with CHS curricula and support hands‑on, standards‑based instruction.

CHS selected Edmentum Courseware and worked with math and English departments to align courses, build unit tests, and embed guided‑note scaffolds that raised time‑on‑task to over 85 percent and freed teachers for targeted conferencing. The approach produced strong outcomes: in the 2017 summer session 95% of 75 students earned needed credits, the program has helped nearly all participants meet graduation requirements over three years, and many students leave with renewed college aspirations.
