Biggest opportunity: Swap “elearning” for “visibility control”. “elearning” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “visibility control” sits at #13 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

of downloads still active
At least 1K of 16.3K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Education plugin keeps 1.0%, across 176 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Education plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
