Engagement
A typical post picks up 79 interactions against 926K followers, an engagement rate of 0.009%. Measured over 10 original posts, its engagement rate beats 32% of 3,758 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 12K times each, and 0.666% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.28% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.33 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 33% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 10 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 3.9K interactions, about 68x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #visionboard, #aieducation, #aiinstem.

Compared with accounts its own size
Apple Education's engagement rate beats 32% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 40% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.009%, Apple Education sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,521 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 13:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 79 interactions against 926K followers, an engagement rate of 0.009%. Measured over 10 original posts, its engagement rate beats 32% of 3,758 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 12K times each, and 0.666% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.28% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.33 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 33% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 10 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video and 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 3.9K interactions, about 68x its own typical post.

- What is Apple Education's engagement rate on X?
- Apple Education (@AppleEDU) has an engagement rate of 0.009%, based on the median interactions across 10 original posts from the last 30 days against 925,975 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.009%, Apple Education sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,521 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @AppleEDU have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 32% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,758 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @AppleEDU post?
- Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 0.33 posts per day across the measured window.
