Case Study: Alamogordo High School achieves higher student engagement and improved mid-term scores with Kahoot!

Who hosted the most in December? Competition results are in!

Alamogordo High School faced slipping engagement and needed a better way to prepare students for semester mid-terms. A history teacher at the school adopted Kahoot! — the game-based learning platform — to run frequent review quizzes and challenge assignments across multiple 10th- and 11th-grade classes.

Using Kahoot!, the teacher hosted 170+ games across six classes during Kahoot!'s "Host the Most" campaign, boosting informal class participation and providing rapid formative feedback. According to the teacher, aggregate mid-term scores were appreciably higher than in previous years, demonstrating measurable gains in engagement and exam performance thanks to Kahoot!'s interactive assessments.
