For more than three decades, Scantron Corporation has helped educational and commercial organizations measure and improve effectiveness with assessment and survey solutions.  Scantron is best known for defining the market for the rapid, accurate and reliable capture of student performance data.  Scantron continues this trend with innovative software and survey solutions that leverage its expertise in world-class forms printing and scanner manufacturing. Today, approximately 80% of schools in the United States use Scantron products.

Scantron focuses on K-12, Higher Education, Survey Services, and other markets via a value-added partner network.  In each situation, Scantron forms can be combined with its assessment and survey software solutions or a Scantron scanner to handle a variety of data collection applications.

Scantron helps K-12 educators meet NCLB requirements and raise the level of student achievement through two web-based software solutions. Achievement Series provides standards-based formative assessment at the district and classroom levels to monitor student progress and help prepare students for high-stakes testing. Performance Series offers computer-adaptive diagnostic testing to measure gains and identify students who will most benefit from corrective instruction or enrichment activities.

Scantron’s higher education solutions include ParSystem, a software assessment product; Class Climate, a solution for managing online and on-paper course evaluations; and eListen, used to create, deploy and analyze general surveys. Cognition software provides general forms processing capabilities by automatically processing handprint, machine print and bubble mark data.

The Scantron Evolution Series (ES) Optical Mark Readers scan information directly from paper forms at high speed, reaching up to 2,800 pages per hour. The Clarity scanner line combines the speed and accuracy of Scantron’s traditional OMR scanners with imaging capabilities, allowing both cost-efficient data capture and a digital image of the form for storage and retrieval.  

Scantron’s Survey Services group combines its consulting, data collection and analysis expertise to offer full-service survey and research solutions for financial services and other commercial markets.

Scantron partners with value-added resellers who combine Scantron’s scanner and form solutions with their own data entry applications.
