This study investigates using quantitative research design, in which digital tools have and continues to affect student engagement in KSA classrooms. Structured surveys and questionnaires were administered to 170 participants, and data was collected from teachers and students at various levels of education. Performing the analysis using SPSS reveals significant findings about the challenges and benefits of digital tool integration. It showed significant results dealing with the challenges and benefits of digital tool integration. Statistical results reveal that the use of digital tools dramatically increased student engagement (mean = 1.46, SD = 0.500), understanding of complex material (mean = 1.49, SD = 0.501), critical thinking (mean = 1.50, SD = 0.501), and collaboration (mean = 1.55, SD = 0.499). Nevertheless, major barriers include poor access to devices (31.8%), technical difficulties (30.6%), and absence of training (17.1%). The study underscores the important role that context-specific strategies and comprehensive professional development can play in maximizing the usefulness of these tools. Some recommendations include access to devices, strengthening technical infrastructure, continuing to train teachers, and identifying ways of studying the long-term consequences of digital tools in education.
