Data Briefs

Each Data Brief provides executive level analysis of important data sets in a compact PDF format for district websites, board packets, and leadership meetings.

Data warehouses and analytics software don’t always meet the needs of school district administrators to produce rigorous analysis of student and district data for governance and executive oversight. ECRA’s suite of Data Briefs fill this gap by providing school leaders rigorous analysis of existing data sets in a format that is easy to share, communicate, and understand.
