Where our clients’ products stand.
Our research has helped products earn recognition across Evidence for ESSA, Digital Promise, and EduEvidence. Outlined badges indicate ESSA evidence packets authored by LXD Research; filled badges indicate studies where LXD Research served as expert reviewer. LXD Research ESSA badges are only displayed when equivalent third-party validation is not available.
We are accepting new studies for the 2026–2027 school year.
