Case Study: Achziger Elementary in Mesquite ISD, TX



How Progress Learning Transformed Student Engagement and Growth

Achziger Elementary, part of Mesquite ISD in Texas, serves a diverse student population and is committed to closing learning gaps and boosting engagement—especially among students who qualify for Title I services and bilingual/ESL programs. After years of requesting access, the school implemented Progress Learning with a school-wide strategy focused on data-driven instruction, personalized intervention, and gamified motivation.

The results have been powerful.

Key takeaways from Achziger’s implementation include:

  • Targeted intervention based on diagnostic data, helping students progress from well below grade level to proficiency
  • Gamified engagement through ranking systems, reward parties, and interactive incentives like the Liftoff Prize Wheel
  • Student ownership of learning, with visible progress tracking and celebrations that inspire growth
  • Data-informed planning, allowing teachers to align lessons with learning gaps and adjust instruction in real time
