Research & Evaluation
Research Summary
Research conducted by the publisher and independent consulting firms found greater math and reading achievement scores in students using Freckle compared to those students not using the program. Specifically, Freckle implementation was associated with higher MAP and Renaissance Star Math scores. Another study found that students who used Freckle Math during the COVID-19 pandemic experienced smaller learning deficits than those not using Freckle. However, due to the methodology of the studies, causal relationships could not be established. Additionally, no peer-reviewed research was found. Therefore, there is insufficient evidence to support this program at this time.
