Research and Analysis
Our team’s research efforts center on the use of a range of quantitative methods in analyzing student assessment data, including sophisticated disaggregation in order to examine the impact of the CMU portfolio of charter public schools on student learning. While our team regularly produces analysis and reports regarding the performance of individual schools we partner with, and has been recognized as a national leader in this regard, we also share our findings regarding trends across the CMU portfolio, extent to which there are disparities in the performance of student subgroups and school models, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on student learning.
