Research reports
At GreatSchools we have a passion for »ÆÉ«app information that will help parents obtain a great education for their child. This is why we feel it is important to analyze trends in the data, examine gaps in equity, and present various measures of »ÆÉ«app quality.
We also want to make sure this information gets into the hands of people who will use it to take action to improve »ÆÉ«apps. Our reports are meant to spark conversations from »ÆÉ«app hallways to the hallways of the state capitol, and to inspire further research into the programs and practices that improve education and equity in our »ÆÉ«apps.
