“I am the instructional coach for a small, rural school district in southeast Missouri. I am always looking for test prep and instructional support that meet the needs of teachers and students. I discovered Lumos Learning while looking for standards-based, research-driven test prep.

My initial reaction to the materials described on the site was that they seemed to address the needs and concerns of the teachers in my district. The materials looked to be exactly the thing we needed, but facing severe budgets cuts, there was little hope we could have the program beyond the free trial. I explained our situation to Mr. Jeremy Brunton of Lumos Learning, I was able to tell him how much the teachers were impressed with the material. They came up with a proposal that not only met our needs but was affordable in spite of our dire financial situation.

The readiness of Lumos Learning to work with us for the good of our students is something we had not found in their competitors. There are many good products on the market, but in my opinion, Lumos Learning offers one of the best. More importantly, the company’s willingness to work within the confines of a district’s needs and resources offers the greatest benefit for students. As educators, that is what we want from our vendors, to know that we all have a stake in the success of our students, I would encourage any school or district to explore Lumos Learning as a way to enhance student learning and performance.”
