Case Study

What We Learned from Yeti Confetti’s District 10 Efficacy Study

June 3, 2026
3 min read

From November 2025 through April 2026, Yeti Confetti ran an efficacy study across Bronx District 10 schools, tracking Kindergarten through Grade 5 students with access to Yeti Confetti Kids. What emerged was a clear, compelling picture: when students use Yeti consistently, they grow.

1135

Total Students

Across 10 District 10 schools

526

Qualified Students

15+ min/week across 23 weeks

3.8x

ELA Growth

vs. inconsistent users

1.6x

Math Growth

vs. inconsistent users

Students who used Yeti Confetti Kids consistently showed 3.8x the ELA growth and 1.6x the Math growth of inconsistent users.

How We Defined "Qualified"

Students were considered qualified if they used Yeti Confetti Kids for at least 15 minutes per week over 20 weeks. The first 45 minutes of usage were removed from analysis because that is the window Yeti uses to calibrate to each student’s level. They also had a minimum of 60% correctness.

What the Data Showed

Out of 1,135 students, 526 met the consistency threshold. The study showed a clear pattern: consistent engagement is associated with stronger outcomes. This isn’t a claim of causation—it’s a signal worth paying attention to.

Equity, Engagement & What Teachers Can Now See

Translanguaging Makes Content Accessible

Yeti's translanguaging support provides content scaffolding in a student's home language, allowing multilingual learners to access rigorous academic content without lowering expectations. Qualified students who received language support posted nearly the same average grade-level uplift as peers who did not need it.

Helping Teachers See What Is Hard to See

Yeti Co-Pilot gives teachers a clear window into which students are using language support and how those students are progressing over time. For ENL educators and classroom teachers alike, this visibility is a powerful tool for identifying needs and responding with precision.

Students Chose to Use Yeti During Breaks

During school breaks, 306 students across District 10 logged in voluntarily, and 237 of those students still met the 15-minute-per-week threshold. Because this happened on students' own time, it suggests they don't experience Yeti as extra work. They engage because they want to.

"One student who received Vietnamese language support grew 2.2 grade levels in just 13 to 16 instructional weeks."

"Qualified students who received translanguaging support posted similar growth to peers who did not need language support, helping distinguish language proficiency from academic ability."

306 students logged in during school breaks. 237 still met the 15-minute-per-week usage threshold, all on their own time.

Consistent Practice

Yeti Confetti Kids supports the kind of regular, calibrated practice that the study connected to stronger academic growth.

Rigorous Access for All Learners

Multilingual learners can engage with grade-level content. Language support closes the access gap without lowering the bar.

Teacher Insight

Co-Pilot helps educators better understand student needs and act on them in real time.

Student-Driven Motivation

Break-week engagement shows that students return to Yeti by choice, a meaningful signal of authentic motivation.
