StudentEdge 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.

Kansas City, Missouri “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.”
