K–12 operations management software provider Education Advanced today announced it has acquired Indiana-based Standard For Success, a provider of education evaluation and feedback software that was founded by teachers in 2011.

Standard For Success solutions are merging with those of Education Advanced, which include tools such as Cardonex, TestHound, and Embarc (formerly BYOC) that help school K–12 school district leaders streamline operations and increase efficiency, according to a news release. Terms of the deal with the privately owned Standard For Success were not disclosed. Education Advanced is a Serent Capital portfolio company.

Education Advanced’s expanded line of products now includes subscription software to help with master scheduling, staff planning, curriculum management, assessment coordination, educator growth, graduation tracking, and program evaluation, the company said.

Standard For Success, recently named the 55th-fastest growing company in the education sector by Inc. 5000, reportedly is used by schools in 38 states and the District of Columbia as well as in Canada, Australia, and the United Arab Emirates. Together, Education Advanced and Standard For Success will reach over 5 million students in more than 10,000 schools globally, according to the news release.
