Data Tools
At the heart of our mission is the desire to provide a quality education to each student in Arizona, no matter where they attend school. The Association’s research team supports this goal by publishing analyses of Arizona school quality, providing tools for researchers, and promoting research-based advocacy that improves student outcomes. Our expertise has been employed for a number of non-partisan, external reviews and evaluations of Arizona’s key education policies.
The Arizona Charter Schools Association collaborates with Expect More Arizona to collect and report school level data for all public schools in Arizona. The Education Evaluator is an easy to use, interactive mapping tool that provides critical information for parents and community stakeholders regarding commonly agreed measures of school quality.
The Association created an interactive mapping tool that includes all public schools – district and charter- that received a 2018 letter grade. While we know more work is needed to refine and improve Arizona’s A-F letter grades and measurements of school quality, this statewide measurement allows for equitable quality review among all of Arizona’s public schools.
