Will Your School Drop I-Ready in 2026? Answers to Every Big Question
By Elena Rostova
Q1: Is Curriculum Associates shutting down i-Ready permanently in 2026?
A1: No. Curriculum Associates is fully operational, financially stable, and continues to provide software to thousands of districts across the country. Claims of a nationwide shutdown are internet hoaxes sparked by viral social media posts.
Q2: Why do so many students believe i-Ready was banned?
A2: The rumors spread because individual school boards are canceling or reducing their contracts. When students see their school accounts deactivated or hear their teachers announce that diagnostic testing has been cut, they often assume the entire company went out of business.
Q3: How can I find out if my local school is dropping i-Ready?
A3: School curriculum purchases are public records. Check your local school board’s monthly meeting agendas and procurement votes, or ask your school principal whether the district renewed its instructional software licenses for the upcoming academic year.
