Impact that Lasts
Turning data into clarity, confidence, and sustained improvement - together
rootED Discoveries’ team has over two decades of experience partnering with schools, districts, and education organizations to transform how data is understood, discussed, and used. Our impact shows up in accountability outcomes, but more importantly in stronger leadership decisions, clearer priorities, and cultures where improvement is possible year after year.
These results emerge through partnership.
School leaders and teachers bring deep knowledge of their communities and students. rootED brings structure, insight, and clarity to how data is interpreted, prioritized, and used.
Together, this work leads to progress that lasts.
Data Highlights from rootED Partnerships With Schools
Through structured data discovery, aligned improvement planning, and ongoing leadership support, schools were able to focus on the accountability indicators that mattered most and sustain progress across multiple years.
What this looks like in practice
• Movement from Priority Improvement into Performance status over multiple years
• An average observed increase of 15 to 20+ percentage points on state accountability frameworks
• Multi-year stability within Performance plan status, most notably in high-mobility or alternative settings
Accountability Movement That Signals Real Progress
Academic Growth as a Shared Strength
By supporting leaders and teachers in using growth focused data to guide instructional decisions, schools strengthened their ability to monitor progress, respond to student needs, and maintain strong growth outcomes over time.
What the data shows
• Academic Growth indicators frequently meet and exceed state expectations, relative to comparable schools
• Growth performance often outpaces achievement gains, especially in alternative settings
• Growth measures remain strong even during years of enrollment change or staffing transitions
Engagement, Persistence, and Readiness
Through partnership focused on aligning data, improvement priorities, and student support systems, schools strengthened the conditions that support attendance, connection, course completion, and postsecondary readiness.
Key indicators include
• Attendance and returning student rates meeting or approaching state benchmarks
• Increases in course completion and workforce readiness certifications
• Postsecondary and workforce readiness measures, including graduation pathways and credit attainment, meeting and exceeding state expectations
Capacity Built to Sustain Improvement
By working alongside leadership teams to establish shared routines for data review, prioritization, and reflection, rootED supported schools in building internal capacity that continues to guide improvement beyond any single year or initiative.
Evidence of capacity building
• Leadership teams establish regular data review and prioritization routines
• Improvement plans are actively used to guide weekly and monthly decisions
• Teachers report increased confidence using data to reflect on practice and adjust instruction

What Partnership Makes Possible --
Across traditional and alternative education settings, rootED works alongside leadership teams and educators to develop a shared understanding of the multiple layers of school data, align improvement efforts to what matters most, and sustain progress over time.
When schools are supported with clear frameworks, usable data, and space for collaborative decision making, strong leadership and dedicated teaching translate into focused, coordinated improvement.
