How we stay honest

No curriculum can pay to rank higher. Rankings come from curriculum data, parent feedback, and verified parent reviews — scored by The Margin Method. Some outbound links may be affiliate links; they neveraffect a curriculum’s score or position.

Verified parent-review scores appear once we have enough first-party reviews. How The Margin Method works →
