EDC Data in Action
Testimonials
Researchers and organizations across education research and policy use the EDC's data in their own work. Here's what a few of them have to say.
“The EDC’s State Assessment Data Repository is now an important part of our data pipeline at the Education Opportunity Project. The timely, comprehensive multi-state data they provide allows us to focus on our analyses rather than the time-consuming assessment data collection process.”
Sean F. Reardon
Professor and Faculty Director of the Educational Opportunity Project
Stanford University
“The EDC has become a standing input for our spending vs. outcomes scatterplots at the Edunomics Lab, providing assessment data for grades 4 and 8. Instead of digging through 51 different state websites, each with its own format and structure, we can now use assessment results in a standardized structure that’s already built to sit alongside per-pupil spending data.”
Maggie Cicco
Senior Research Fellow
Edunomics Lab at Georgetown University
“For StriveTogether and our network of place-based partnerships in 28+ states, the Education Data Center has made it possible to report our impact to funders, local and national leaders and our board in ways that would not have been feasible otherwise. EDC’s national database brings together state assessment data that would otherwise be siloed across each state education agency’s portal and supports us to tell the story of our network’s work to put millions more young people on a path to economic mobility.”
