Case Study: Bishop O’Dowd High School achieves school-wide student engagement and easy formative assessment with Kahoot!

“It’s taken over the school by storm!”: teachers at Bishop O’Dowd High School share their Kahoot! experience

Bishop O’Dowd High School in Oakland, California — a 1,200+ student school with teachers across science, math, arts and drama — needed an engaging, easy-to-use way to assess learning and share materials across many classes. They turned to Kahoot!, recently upgrading to Kahoot! Pro for schools to make creating and sharing kahoots school-wide simple and fast.

Kahoot! delivered a low‑stress, game-based formative assessment solution that teachers across subjects adopted “by storm.” With Kahoot! Pro, staff quickly share quizzes, spot learning gaps (one teacher discovered only 20% of students knew certain material), save prep time across sections, and boost engagement and classroom behavior — outcomes reported school-wide after implementing Kahoot!.
