Scantron Assessment Solutions deals with scanner manufacturing, forms printing, computer-based testing, and the creation of test questions by psychometricians. It operates in 98% of the US school districts, 56 countries, 48 ministries of education, and 94 of the top 100 US universities. The company is well known for their machine-readable paper forms on which students mark answers to multiple-choice test questions[1] and the optical mark recognition (OMR) and imaging scanners that read them. To analyze those answers, the machines use OMR- and image-based data collection software. In addition to its forms and scanners, Scantron provides web- and desktop-based assessment software, such as Performance Series.[2]
Scantron Technology Solutions provides managed technology support for IT endpoints and devices. In 2022, Scantron acquired ServRight[3] to further extend its technology capabilities.
Scantron is wholly owned by Transom Capital Group,[4] which took place in December 2019.[needs update] Scantron was a member of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) from 2010 until it resigned from the organization in 2012.[5]
