Edia's AI app joins four US school districts to reverse maths decline
An AI-powered learning app called Edia has partnered with four major US school districts to tackle declining maths performance. Starting in the 2025/26 academic year, the initiative will support 5,000 students in each district with personalised instruction. The programme is backed by funding from the Gates Foundation and aims to improve both test results and student engagement. The new partnerships will see Edia working with schools in San Francisco, Cincinnati, Wichita and Denver. Each district will introduce the app to help students who are struggling with maths, as over half of US pupils currently perform below grade level in the subject.
Edia’s algorithm adjusts to individual learning styles and speeds, offering real-time support in mathematics. The effectiveness of the AI instruction will be tracked through end-of-year state tests. The scheme will also examine how personalised coaching affects student motivation and overall learning progress. Joe Philleo, CEO and founder of Edia, highlighted the urgent need for fresh solutions to the maths proficiency crisis. His comments were echoed by educators in the partner districts. Jessica Piwko, Executive Director of Teaching and Learning at Denver Public Schools, praised the app’s ability to meet each student’s unique needs. Meanwhile, Holly Ingram, Assistant Superintendent of Learning Services in Wichita, stressed the district’s commitment to using innovative tools like Edia to lift student achievement.
The initiative will launch in the 2025/26 school year, reaching 20,000 students across the four districts. Schools will monitor improvements in maths scores and engagement levels. The results could shape future decisions on AI-driven learning support in US education.
