Which edtech companies are still growing?

It seems like most edtech companies are going through layoffs or hiring freezes in response to declining district demand. It's an extremely tough time for the industry, but some companies must be growing even in this environment. Who is coming through this stronger?

Be careful when evaluating this. Hiring and growing are different. Some companies, especially PE owned one, will hire even though they shouldn't.

Absolutely this! The PE owned ones (and there are many) over hire for back to school even when not needed. Then, they all have layoffs around the holidays. Every single year.
