Educators, administrators, and parents across the country are committed to closing the learning loss gap— an unfortunate trend that’s been exasperated by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Now referred to as the “COVID slide,” both private and public institutions are diligently focused on creating high-quality education solutions that help students catch up and stay engaged. However, it’s important to note that some schools— in particular, online schools powered by Stride K12— reported lower learning loss rates than those reported in national studies. In fact, in some cases, students enrolled in Stride K12-powered schools actually experienced learning gains.
