Scoring Methodology

Scores are assigned by the District AI Index editorial team across four dimensions. Instructional Value carries the highest weight (40%) because our primary audience — educators and district leaders — prioritize tools that genuinely improve teaching and learning. Overall Score = (Ease × 0.20) + (Instructional Value × 0.40) + (Privacy × 0.20) + (Accessibility × 0.20). Scores are not influenced by listing tier, affiliate status, or vendor relationships.
