It's great for looking at data and grouping your students. Students love being on the computer and you can choose whether or not to have games incorporated into the lesson. Students can keep track of how well they are doing and it provides them with instant feedback. Many times my students tell me their scores before I (get a chance) see them! It's easy for me to see what my students do in their core reading class (I'm a reading specialist.) I also love how my district has synced the Clever extension so passwords are no longer needed.

Sometimes it's hard to remember where Study Island ends and Edmentum begins. It is probably the closest practice we can use for our state testing, but not good enough in my opinion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Study Island is very easy to use for both instructors and students and offers technology based assessments that engage students and allow them to visualize their progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really wish that there were more options for skill assessment that weren't so test-heavy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to use and assign students assessments. Great tool to use to prepare and even has mini lessons the students can watch. Great resource to print from and compare to standards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quizzes take a bit to make and require exporting into word, but then you can edit to your personal needs! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it is based off of the standards and follows a child’s personal level Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not like that there is No science for lower grades. I think it would be very helpful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do I like. It's in English (mostly). It's online and web based. It's mostly multiple guess. That's it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Everything else. Content is often vague. Questions that have an obvious correct answer are graded incorrectly. Evident that no one double checked the questions and answers. Inaccurate information. Very frustrating to students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Allows me to pull valiable standards aligned teaching resources Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can be difficult to nagivagate and creating tests takes a long time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that the questions are tech enhanced! The fact that the resources will differentiate based on student levels is unbeatable as far as I am concerned. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to see more questions in the test bank. Some standards have multiple examples but some have very few. With a more even playing field, the program would be even more user friendly! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Study Island allows for immediate data tracking in the classroom. Not only are students given assignments and practice lessons based on an initial pre-test, they are constantly provided work that is meant to improve their knowledge. The ability to differentiate student instruction, without spending an inordinate amount of time planning, means each student is receiving more student-centered instructional time than before.

The only issues with Study Island are that it always appears extremely test-based. Students are required to answer multiple-choice questions the majority of the time, and they are always it what appears to be the standardized testing environment. You are absolutely able to answer questions and help students with work, but they always have ten questions to answer on a topic, and it is always multiple-choice. The result of this testing-style approach is that most students despise using the software and must be bribed to complete work in the system. They absolutely see improvement in their abilities, but it is very much a struggle to motivate them to try. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Study Island offers grade- and subject-specific benchmark assessments. These are aligned practice tools we use for our kiddos as exit tickets on a daily basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not the most engaging. The texts could be more interesting and they should add graphics or more appealing information. Many of the students find the activities to be a little boring. Therefore, Study Island is not really the kind of program that the average student is eager to jump on and get going. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This program allows an entire class to be assigned to a student, allowing students to work at their own pace to complete a series of exercises. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For some subjects, like chemistry, there is very little content. This program has not yet expanded to have thorough content for some higher level high school classes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
