"It works and can be useful"

2.5/5

What do you like best about Study Island?

The software is useful, and can help students improve their class performance and perhaps test scores. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Study Island?

I wish it was more flexible. That may just be my own inflexibility, but that is my opinion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Study Island:

Give it and you time to become acclimated. Do not rush to judgment. You may regret hasty decisions. I was resistant to the product due to loyalty to another software, and that may have had a negative impact on my experience. Patience is usually rewarded. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Study Island solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use it to help student test performance, and it may have worked in time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"When you want to know what your student's can do"

4/5

What do you like best about Study Island?

I like that the students area given stepping blocks and lessons when they do not get an answer correct. It is also great that you can create your own assessments and truly target the skills that you are working on in the classroom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Study Island?

I don't like that once a student doesn't master a topic, they have to overcome that bad grade average before it will show them mastered. Students become frustrated when they have to take 100+ questions to get to the mastery level, even if those questions are correctly answered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Study Island:

Make sure you have the time to properly implement the program. Students love this program and are typically very engaged in the program. I find they can use it both at home and at school which is great for parents too. There is a strong correlation between the results we see with this program and the results on our standardized assessments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Study Island solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using it to get a good picture of what our students are able to do outside of instruction. Teachers can use the program to guide their classroom instruction and know how to group students. Students will be able to know where they are with any given concept and have lessons to work on around that concept. We used it at our school to help us predict how students would do on our standardized state assessment. It worked great as a predictor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

3.5/5

What do you like best about Study Island?

I like that students can work independently. I used Study Island for both my academic classes as well as my AP course. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Study Island?

I wanted a wider variety of questions and the ability to import my own questions from other test prep resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Study Island:

Study Island is a great way for you to differentiate your instruction! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Study Island solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was able to assign students to do review work or extra credit work on topics they had missed in class throughout the semester or assign topics they were still struggling with at the end of the semester. You can customize assignments based on students' needs as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Helps with Intervention"

4/5

Ease of use. I rarely have to troubleshoot or train our staff because of the ease of using this software. I can easily add our NWEA results to help customize learning for a student. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It took a coupe weeks to get the integration with Clever to work with Study Island so we can auto roster our students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
