Summary

The video positions Khan Academy as the College Board’s official SAT practice partner and argues that district‑wide adoption, rather than isolated use, is essential for measurable score improvements.

Khan Academy offers a suite of services—including kickoff sessions, professional learning for administrators and teachers, continuous data reviews, and dedicated success managers—that tailor the platform to each district’s goals and provide year‑round instructional support.

In Osceola County, a 73,000‑student district with a sizable ESL population, students in the Khan partnership posted a 91% graduation rate and were ten times more likely to exceed the 30‑minute daily usage threshold linked to higher learning gains. District leaders cite the adaptive feedback and one‑on‑one assistance as critical to changing student trajectories.

For school districts, the partnership promises not only higher SAT scores but also improved graduation outcomes and stronger public accountability, making the platform a strategic lever for college‑access initiatives.
