Submission declined on 29 April 2025 by Zzz plant (talk).

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.
Please do not remove reviewer comments or this notice until the submission is accepted.

Where to get help

Comment: Hello, 3/4 sources in this article appear to be written by the same person - google searches suggest that person works for IXL. If this topic is notable, it will require independent sources to demonstrate that. Thank you, Zzz plant (talk) 06:04, 29 April 2025 (UTC)

IXL

IXL is an online learning website designed to help students with a variety of subjects in school, but especially Mathematics and English Language Arts.^[1] It provides questions to students in a problem-set style, with a 'Smart Score' that goes up whenever a student gets a correct answer in a particular skill. As the smart score increases, the difficulty also increases proportionally. ^[2]

Impact

According to a peer-reviewed study funded by IXL, the math proficiency for schools in Kentucky that have implemented IXL for three or more years is on average 5.49 percent higher than those who have not.^[1] IXL has published several other studies, all showing similar trends.^[3] ^[4]
