Not their grade. Not a test score. The actual skills.
Your child may be getting good grades and still have learning gaps. Or you may hear "below grade level" and have no idea what that actually means.
The Parent App changes that. We test your child against your state's standards, pinpoint the skills they haven't mastered, and give you a personalized plan to help close those gaps. Then we track the progress, so you can see the growth.
Because you shouldn't have to wait for a report card, a parent-teacher conference, or a problem to discover what your child needs.
Know sooner. Help sooner. Watch them grow.
Because GREAT learning does not STOP at the bell.
“After twenty years in the classroom I kept coming back to the same thought. A parent leaves a conference wanting to help, and what they have to work with is a grade and a general sense of how things are going. If we could name the exact skill their child is missing, and hand them fifteen minutes a night that targets it, that parent becomes the difference. So we built it.”
Dr. Kristina Greenaway, Ed.D. Founder & CEO · University of Florida · classroom teacher, Alabama
Every parent walks out of a conference with the same three questions. Here's how we answer them.
Not a letter grade or a percentile. The actual skills, named one by one, in the words your state uses.
Every skill is marked Strong, Growing or Focus next, so you can see what's fine and what isn't at a glance.
A weekly plan that starts with the biggest gaps, with what to say and do at home for each one.
How it works
Your child works through questions written against your state's own grade-level standards, one subject at a time. It's split into short parts of about 10 to 15 minutes, so a child can stop and pick up later. It adapts as it goes, moving on as soon as a skill is clear, and every question can be read aloud.
Every skill is marked Strong, Growing or Focus next. The weekly plan starts with the biggest gaps first, paced to reach grade level by the end of the school year, and tells you what to do at home. You pick the days and how long.
Short progress checks cover only what your child has been practicing. You can see every question they got right and wrong, and print a report for a parent-teacher conference.
This is the page no other app gives you. Every skill your child hasn't mastered, named in plain English, hardest first — with what went wrong, why that skill matters, and the day it's scheduled to close.
The standards
Not a national average. Not “aligned to Common Core.” Your child is checked against the standards your own state adopted, by their code, for their grade.
B.E.S.T. Benchmarks — the same ones behind FAST.
Codes like MA.3.AR.1.1 and ELA.3.R.2.2.
Alabama Courses of Study — the same ones behind ACAP.
Math 2019, ELA 2021, Science 2023. Current adoptions.
College- and Career-Ready Standards — the same ones behind SC READY.
All 3,415 questions in the bank carry a state standard code — not a topic, not a subject, not a “domain.” That is what lets us tell you fractions on a number line instead of below grade level in maths.
The Parent App is not an official state test, and is not produced, sponsored or endorsed by any state Department of Education. FAST, ACAP and SC READY are the states' own assessments; we name them only to say which standards we check against.
Open to every family in Alabama, South Carolina and Florida for the whole 2026–27 school year. Nothing to buy, no card, nothing to cancel.
Why open it up? Because a year of honest feedback from real families is worth more to us right now than anything else we could do with it. Dr. Kristina Greenaway, Founder
Where this is going
You should know what we are actually trying to build before you trust us with your child's school year.
We founded Redhorse 6 to build AI and automation for teachers and parents — tools that help inside a classroom and at a kitchen table, rather than adding one more thing for a teacher to administer. The Parent App is the first of those tools, not the last.
Our long-term goal is to give away up to half of all profit through partnerships with PTOs, PTAs and booster clubs — a fundraiser with nothing to sell, nothing to store and nothing for a volunteer to carry, because there is nothing to buy in the first place.
And to put this in front of districts and whole states at a heavily discounted price, so what a district can afford is never the reason a child goes without it. Parents keep their own accounts either way — no student data comes to a school and none goes from it.
For districts: the free year for your families runs the whole 2026–27 school year regardless. The district version — printable teacher reports and a spring summary of what your families actually did — is a conversation in January, in time for your next budget.

These are the goals we are building toward, not a promise attached to anything you sign up for today. The 2026–27 school year is open to every family in Alabama, South Carolina and Florida with nothing to buy.
We're opening to families in Alabama, Florida and South Carolina first. Pennsylvania, Georgia and Tennessee are next up this fall, and after that we go where parents ask us to. Tell us where you are and we'll email you the moment yours is ready. We won't spam you, and we won't share your address with anyone.
Most tools a family runs into are doing one of two different jobs.
School screeners — i-Ready, MAP, STAR — are given by the school a few times a year and report a scale score and a percentile. They are built to tell the school how a child is doing. The letter that comes home is a number, and a number is hard to act on at a kitchen table.
Practice platforms — IXL, Prodigy, Khan Academy — are good at practice, and we would not try to talk you out of one. They start from a grade or a topic that somebody picks.
We sit in between, on the parent's side. We diagnose first, against your own state's published standards, by code — then build the week from the standards that were not secure, in the order the state itself builds them. What you get back is named skills, not a number, on a page you can print and take to a conference.
We are not a replacement for your school's screener and we are not a clinical diagnosis. Keep the screener. This is your copy, at home, in plain English.
They answer different questions. i-Ready tells the school where your child sits against other children. This tells you which specific standards are not secure, and what to do about them this week. If you are holding an i-Ready letter right now, we wrote a guide on what those numbers actually mean.
No, and it is not trying to be. A tutor spends the first few sessions working out where the gaps are — that is the part we do, in one sitting, for free. What comes back is about fifteen minutes a night you can do yourself at the kitchen table. If you do hire a tutor afterwards, hand them the report and they can skip straight to the work.
No. It's an informal at-home diagnostic built on the standards your state publishes for each grade. It supports your child's teacher; it doesn't replace them, and it isn't a clinical diagnosis. If your child's state test results have just come back, we wrote a guide to reading them.
The first diagnostic in a subject is the longest: short parts of 10 to 15 minutes each, so a shorter subject like reading may take about 10 minutes while a full math diagnostic runs closer to 30. Your child can stop after any part and pick up later. After that, progress checks take only 5 to 10 minutes.
Kindergarten through 5th grade. Questions can be read aloud, which helps early readers, children with vision needs, and families learning English. Not sure whether your child is behind? Here's how to tell, by grade.
Alabama, Florida and South Carolina today, in six subjects. Pennsylvania, Georgia and Tennessee are next up this fall. Join the list and tell us your state; after that group, the states parents ask for most come first.
No. Children see encouragement, never a score or a label. Results live behind a 4-digit parent PIN on the parent dashboard. You can take the report to a conference if you want to.
No catch. It is free for every family in Alabama, South Carolina and Florida for the whole 2026–27 school year — every subject, every feature, no card, no trial that quietly ends. We would rather spend this year finding out what parents actually need than charging for a guess. It stays free for the full school year. If that ever changes, we will tell you long before it does — nothing happens automatically and we never hold payment details.
