Abstract: This quasi-experimental study investigated the impact of Coursemojo, an AI-powered literacy platform, on sixth-grade English Language Arts achievement in a large Texas district during the 2024-2025 academic year. The study compared 541 students using Coursemojo across two schools with 2,786 comparison students across 11 schools. Students using Coursemojo significantly outperformed comparison students on the Texas STAAR assessment, with 70% achieving passing levels compared to 60% in the comparison group. The platform demonstrated particularly strong effects for historically underserved populations: special education students showed substantial gains on NWEA MAP assessments (effect sizes of 0.21-0.36), while economically disadvantaged students significantly outperformed peers on STAAR by 13.8 points and showed higher proportions of students passing and meeting grade level expectations. Dosage analysis revealed threshold effects, suggesting that usage for at least 12 weeks of implementation and 1.7 days per week of engagement is important to see meaningful improvements. Educator feedback was universally positive, with 100% teachers expressing high satisfaction and 78% of students reporting that the platform helped their learning. The study provides evidence that Coursemojo's AI-powered instruction can enhance educational equity when properly implemented with comprehensive support systems.
