Proven Results
Measurable progress in English and math — even when statewide outcomes decline.
In the years following the pandemic, few districts have fully recovered lost ground in English and math.
In 2025, Massachusetts remained 8.3 points below its 2021 average in English (ELA) and 2.6 points lower in math.
By contrast, students in JFYNetWorks’ flagship partner schools exceeded their 2021 scores, posting average gains of +4.5 points in ELA and +5.8 points in math.
These results are not anomalies. They reflect a consistent, documented pattern of growth produced by sustained use of JFY’s standards-aligned academic support model.

- Math: -2.6 points
Context
- Results achieved during a period of continued post-pandemic decline.
- Outcomes consistent with JFY’s historical and post-pandemic performance.
At a time when national (NAEP) and state (MCAS) data show continued academic decline, JFY partner schools demonstrate what is possible when instruction is targeted, measured, and sustained.
The foundation of this work is JFY’s AIMS methodology — Assess, Instruct, Measure, Support — with particular emphasis on direct, ongoing support for teachers.
As schools increasingly integrate AI-enabled tools, JFY is extending AIMS to enhance formative assessment, customization, and instructional efficiency while preserving the central role of educators.
2024 Brief: Partner Schools Exceed State Benchmarks
During the 2023–24 academic year, JFY partner schools outperformed statewide and peer-school averages when measured using Student Growth Percentiles (SGP) — a DESE metric that compares student progress to others with similar prior achievement.
Across English and math, students in JFY-supported schools demonstrated above-average growth, including in schools serving high proportions of high-needs students.
2023 White Paper: Recovering Learning Loss Through Blended Support
This analysis examines MCAS outcomes at multiple JFY partner schools and presents evidence of learning gains associated with sustained use of JFY’s blended academic support model.
Findings document measurable improvements across English and math, including for English learners, students with disabilities, and low-income students, and demonstrate that standards-aligned supplemental instruction can be delivered effectively at scale.
2022 Case Study: Partner Schools Exceed Statewide MCAS Trends
In the first year following pandemic disruptions, most Massachusetts schools experienced continued declines in MCAS performance.
Two JFY partner schools — East Boston High School and Northeast Metropolitan Regional Vocational Technical High School — demonstrated gains in both English and math, performing above statewide trends while serving student populations with high levels of need.
