Excelligence Learning Corporation websites Discount School Supply and Steve Spangler Science named by Newsweek, as two of America's top online shopping sites

MONTEREY, Calif., Nov. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Excelligence Learning Corporation, the world's leading tech-enabled platform company in early childhood and elementary education, announced that its divisions, Discount School Supply and Steve Spangler Science, were named by Newsweek, as two of America's top online shopping sites.

Discountschoolsupply.com had the highest score among all early childhood education and elementary education sites in the rankings, and stevespanglerscience.com was ranked second.

"With significant resources applied to our online effort, it's fantastic to see such strong recognition at Discount and Spangler," commented CEO Dipak Golechha.  "We are working hard to make Really Good Stuff a candidate for next year's Newsweek awards.  In addition, with significant M&A efforts underway, we might have a few additional brand banners to announce in the new year."

The Newsweek rankings looked at more than 9,500 online shops in the United States using Statista and online databases, online directories, and price comparison websites to identify the most relevant online shops. A subset of shops was then tested individually by analysts on 41 criteria. Alongside these tests, an online survey of more than 8,000 American online shoppers assessed the shops on seven subjective criteria. As a result of this comprehensive site assessment, each online shop was scored and ranked.
