 Educators

Open quoteStudentEdge has proven to be a valuable ACT preparation program for students in our large urban/suburban school district. During the initial year of implementation, each of our three high schools experienced significant improvements in their average composite scores. In addition, over a three-year period we have significantly more students taking the ACT, increasing by 7 percent from 2007 to 2008 alone.

StudentEdge is easy to access and navigate, and provides the right tools and resources to assist students in preparation for their post-secondary educational pursuits.  In the North Kansas City Schools, we are thrilled to have access to StudentEdge for all students.Close quote

“Our experience with Peterson's StudentEdge has been so positive because our students like knowing exactly what they need to improve upon in the four content areas of the ACT. StudentEdge then offers them practice modules to aid that improvement, so the combination of diagnosis and targeted improvement makes for successful students.”

“Many students are using StudentEdge for career assessment and college searches. The scholarship search has also been very popular, especially with our seniors. Each time students access the program they have one more opportunity to look around and see the many features. The administrator side of Peterson’s StudentEdge also offers many reporting tools to assist us in understanding what our students are using the program for, whether it is for career assessment or preparing for their ACT/SAT.”

I think [StudentEdge] is the most fantastic opportunity ‘out there’ for schools and students, and I am absolutely thrilled to have it made available free of charge.  I speak to every parent and student at every opportunity.”

“All of the test prep sections from ACT to AP have been beneficial to our students. Our teachers utilize their computer lab time to use StudentEdge, and we also mailed flyers home to parents to encourage them to use the program at home as well.”

“Our students are able to access StudentEdge anytime they want to prepare for college entrance exams, such as the PSAT, SAT* and ACT®. Our teachers are also able to utilize the lessons and the practice tests to better prepare our students for success on these exams. To maximize the value of the college planning tools and resources in Peterson’s StudentEdge, McKinney Boyd High School encouraged teachers to get familiar with the program and share this resource with their students in the classroom. StudentEdge allows the teacher to better assist the student as an advisor. It helps the teacher to better guide his or her students through the college preparation process.”

"There are many components to the program for each grade to utilize; scholarship searching for seniors, PSAT prep for my sophomores and juniors, and the resume builder for my freshmen.  In the freshmen computer class, I work with the students to understand how their interests and skills relate to the world of work.  Based on various activities, the students use StudentEdge to research a career and the required education for it.  From there, I have the students create a resume that they can build upon during high school.  StudentEdge has given me easy access to various aspects of the freshmen career project and the students have found it to be both user friendly and informational."
