Informing the public of education trends
From gatherings to media, we make the public aware of what’s working … and what’s not.
Turning Data into Decisions that Shape Brighter Futures
We track student progress, uncover what works, and give districts, policymakers, and community leaders the insights they need to help more students reach economic mobility.
Annual Data Analysis and Reporting
We track key education indicators throughout the year, analyzing major data releases from the Texas Education Agency including STAAR results, accountability ratings, pre-K enrollment, and the comprehensive Texas Academic Performance Reports (TAPR).
Our timely analysis helps Houston stakeholders understand regional trends and identify areas for focused improvement.
Original Research Agenda
Beyond analyzing existing data, we conduct groundbreaking original research on topics critical to Houston’s education future.
Our research projects use proprietary data sources and innovative methodologies to drive new conversations and inform evidence-based policy and practice decisions.
District and Partner Support
We provide customized data analysis and research support to Houston-area school districts, community organizations, and policymakers.
Whether supporting strategic planning processes, evaluating program effectiveness, or informing grant applications, our team delivers the insights needed to accelerate student success.
Community Engagement
We bring people together to turn data into action.
Through surveys, public gatherings, webinars, and more, we make education trends easy to understand and open for discussion so spreadsheets turn into solutions.
Signature Research Projects
Guided by Data. Grounded in People.
Our research doesn’t sit on a shelf—it lives in conversations that move Houston forward.
Sometimes that’s a coffee chat or podcast; other times it’s a summit with superintendents or 1,000 leaders at ConnectED. In every setting, we start by listening—to educators, business leaders, and families—and turn what we hear into insights and solutions that help students thrive.
Connecting people to find solutions
Progress can’t happen in silos. We bring people together to learn from each other.
Creating spaces for open dialogue
We help parents, teachers, and leaders share ideas and shape Houston’s education future.
