Discovery Education Science helped Osceola County Public Schools improve their science scores.
Double Digit Point Gains in Science
Osceola County Public schools wanted to transform their elementary science curriculum. The district decided to launch Discovery Education Science as core piece of their classroom instructional resources. Bolstered by effective district professional development and support, Osceola County students improved their performance on the FCAT exam.
"By the end of the year when they took the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test, those schools averaged a 10 point gain in science. That's unheard of."
Cost-Effective and Efficient
