Previous research has shown that IXL can have a significant positive impact on students’ academic performance (Bashkov, 2021; Empirical Education, 2013) .  \nThe goal of this study was to examine IXL usage among first-through eighth-grade students in a large, suburban Oklahoma school district and its relation to their academic growth in math and English language arts (ELA), as measured by the Star Assessments. Using a pretest-posttest design, we found1:  \n• Higher IXL Math usage was associated with better Star Math performance.  \nStudents performed better on the assessment when they answered more questions, reached proficiency in more skills (SP), and/or spent more time on IXL.  \n• Higher IXL ELA usage was associated with better Star Reading performance.  \nStudents performed better on the assessment when they answered more questions, reached proficiency in more skills (SP), and/or spent more time on IXL.  \n1 Note. In all figures, *** indicates statistical significance at the p \u003C .001 level. SP = skills proficient (i.e., SmartScore of 80+)  \nResearch Report  \nBackground  \nIXL is an end-to-end teaching and learning solution that engages learners in grades Pre-K through 12 with a comprehensive curriculum and personalized recommendations for meeting learning goals. It covers four main subject areas: mathematics, English language arts (ELA), science, and social studies. As of this writing, IXL is used by 1 in 4 students in the U.S. and by over 13 million students worldwide. IXL is deeply rooted in learning sciences research (see Bashkov et al., 2021) and engages each student in a personalized learning experience tailored to their working level. As a result, students work through problems that are neither too easy nor too difficult, which in turn supports their self-efficacy and motivation for continued learning.  \nThe goal of the present study was to examine the impact of IXL usage on math and reading achievement among elementary and middle school students. Specifically, we examined the relationship between amount of IXL usage and performance on end-of-year Star Math and Star Reading assessments among students in grades 1 through 8 in a large, suburban Oklahoma school district.  \nRESEARCH QUESTIONS  \nIn two sets of analyses, we aimed to answer the following research questions:  \n1. Usage effects of IXL Math: Controlling for prior performance and grade level, how does the amount of IXL Math usage (e.g., questions answered per week) relate to students’scores on the Star Math assessment and relative growth in math?  \n2. Usage effects of IXL ELA: Controlling for prior performance and grade level, how does the amount of IXL ELA usage (e.g., questions answered per week) relate to students’ scores on the Star Reading assessment and relative growth in reading?  \nStudy Design and Methodology  \nDATA SOURCES  \nAssessment Data  \nThe participating school district in Oklahoma provided student-level Star Assessment scores from the beginning-of-year (Fall 2021) and end-of-year (Spring 2022) administrations of the assessments (student-level demographic data were not available) . The Star Assessments are widely used as formative assessments in districts nationwide and have been extensively validated (see Renaissance Learning, 2020) . Both Star Math and Star Reading are computer adaptive tests (CATs), meaning that question difficulty changes based on students’ patterns of correct and incorrect responses.
