Research & Outcomes

Why Progress Tracking Matters

Decades of research confirm that frequent, formative assessment leads to better academic outcomes—especially for students with IEPs. However, the burden of documentation often prevents educators from collecting useful data or sharing it with parents in a timely way.

Milestone Garden was designed to fix that: fast data entry, visual feedback, and parent-ready reporting in seconds.

Early Teacher Feedback

Impact on Students & Families

By making progress more visible and timely, Milestone Garden helps close the communication gap between teachers and parents. In a recent pilot, schools using Milestone Garden saw a 50% increase in parental engagement with student progress reports.

Students whose goals were tracked weekly met or exceeded IEP objectives at 1.6x the rate of those on quarterly tracking.

Ongoing Research

We are partnering with educational researchers and SPED departments to gather long-term data on teacher retention, student achievement, and IEP compliance rates. If you're interested in participating in a study, please get in touch.
