Hip-Hop U.S. History has been proven to substantially increase student scores on standardized tests. One group of four U.S. history classes in Queens, New York, had a passing rate of 60% on the U.S. History Regents Exam before Flocabulary materials were introduced. After the teacher began using Hip-Hop U.S. History with the students, the passing rate rose to 90%! That's an increase of 50%.
Many students attributed their success directly to Hip-Hop U.S. History. Watch a video of a student whose score on the Regents Exam nearly doubled. He says, "I would listen to it even if it wasn't a school CD."
