95 Percent Group

What 95 Percent Group does

95 Percent Group is a K-12 education company that sells evidence-based literacy and math intervention products, professional development, and assessment tools to U.S. school districts. The portfolio is built on the structured literacy (science of reading) framework and centers on flagship programs such as the 95 Phonics Core Program and 95 Phonics Lesson Library, delivered through the One95 platform that integrates screening, grouping, instruction, and progress monitoring. Since 2023 the company has used acquisitions (HillRAP, Tools 4 Reading, Morpheme Magic, Sortegories, All About Learning Press, and TouchMath) to extend from K-5 phonics into adolescent literacy, math intervention, Spanish-language instruction, and the homeschool market, with a stated reach of 5,000+ school districts.

The business model is institutional B2B sales into K-12 public school districts, supplemented by a small direct-to-consumer and homeschool channel acquired through All About Learning Press. Revenue is generated primarily through district-level curriculum licenses, professional development services, and assessment subscriptions, with procurement often gated by state-level approvals (Arizona, Virginia, Missouri, Ohio) and ESSA evidence-tier classifications that determine district eligibility for certain funding streams. State-adopted and IDA-accredited status functions as a key sales catalyst, and the company's footprint of 5,000+ districts implies a long-tail revenue base with low single-account concentration but full exposure to U.S. public K-12 budget cycles.

The company has been privately held and PE-backed since a December 2021 investment by Leeds Equity Partners, which has funded a multi-year buy-and-build strategy. Headcount is reported at 101-250 employees, and no public revenue, ARR, or valuation disclosures are available. Co-founder and Chief Academic Officer Laura Stewart and Chief Strategy Officer Dr. Antonio Fierro anchor the literacy-science credibility of the brand, while the One95 platform is positioned as the integration layer that increasingly ties curriculum, assessment, and progress monitoring together across acquired brands.
