The Baltimore City Public School students in Lida Zlatic’s Spanish class were like most students — learning at different paces. Some struggled to keep up with her foreign language lessons, while others could have taken a mid-day siesta and still been ahead of the group.

Zlatic and co-founders Thierry Uwilingiyimana and Jamel Daugherty launched ClassTracks in January 2015 and the company has been gaining momentum since.
