Education Advanced, based in Tyler, has acquired Standard For Success, based in Indiana. Both ed-tech companies provide operations management and workflow solutions for K-12 school districts.
The acquisition brings together multiple software solutions including Education Advanced products TestHound for coordinating standardized testing, Cardonex scheduling software and the Embarc curriculum mapping and management solution.
The Standard For Success suite includes teacher evaluation software, program assessment tools, graduation pathways software and accreditation data collection and curation. The combined businesses will serve 5 million students in more than 10,000 schools.
“Education Advanced and Standard For Success have aligned cultures and a shared sense of purpose,” Education Advanced CEO Eli Crow said in a news release. “Together we offer an unparalleled commitment to K-12 education. By joining forces, we will help schools better plan for the future by growing teachers, improving the feedback process, giving time back to administrators and ensuring students are on the right path to meet their academic goals.”
Todd Whitlock, CEO of Standard For Success, said: “In the detailed internal discussions on how to grow the impact of SFS’s products, it became clear that the combined resources of our talents could have a much greater influence together than we could independently.
“The team that Eli has put together is led by educators, and that passion for education matched our mantra. I am excited to see what problems this dynamic team can solve for educators and continue to impact the efficiency of the business of ‘education’ to drive success for students and educators.”
