Case Study: IDEA Public Schools boosts AP passing scores with Class Companion by Panorama Education

IDEA Public Schools quadruples AP passing scores with Panorama Education

IDEA Public Schools, a large charter network serving nearly 87,000 students, faced a significant challenge in its "AP for All" program. With students entering AP courses at widely varying readiness levels, teachers struggled to provide the fast, high-quality, and rubric-aligned writing feedback necessary for student growth without becoming overwhelmed by the workload.

Panorama Education's Class Companion provided a solution by using AI to deliver immediate, rubric-aligned feedback on student writing. This allowed teachers to provide differentiated instruction at scale. The results were dramatic: over a two-year period, some teachers quadrupled the number of students earning passing AP scores, with one campus seeing AP Literature passing scores grow from 4 to 24. Panorama Education's tool showed a strong correlation (r = 0.88) between high usage and increased pass rates across the district.
