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.
