Case Study: Bermudian Springs High School achieves improved Keystone Exam success and credit recovery with Edmentum

The Remedy for Keystone Exam Struggles in Pennsylvania

Bermudian Springs High School, a small rural school in York Springs, PA, was struggling with declining graduation rates as students failed Pennsylvania’s Keystone Exams or fell short on credits due to family or work obligations. Facing the state’s high‑stakes end‑of‑course requirements in algebra I, biology, and literature, the school needed more flexible options to remediate students and keep graduation attainable.

By implementing Edmentum’s Plato Courseware and Edmentum Assessments (Accucess and Test Packs), guided by an online learning aide and teachers, students received diagnostic testing, targeted remediation, and flexible access at school or home. Early results included seven students recovering missing credits, widespread completion of Keystone prep courses, and 189 students logging nearly 3,000 hours of Plato use in one semester—most in math—with many students reporting engagement and improved performance.
