Our Commitment to Outcomes

We believe in excellence and accountability. We track scholar growth, not just absolute achievement. We measure academic progress, social-emotional development, engagement, and school climate. We're transparent about what works and where we're growing.

Literacy Growth

Scholars make measurable progress in reading fluency, comprehension, and writing quality each year.

Math Proficiency

Scholars demonstrate understanding of grade-level concepts and build mathematical reasoning.

Social-Emotional Health

We measure scholar belonging, resilience, self-regulation, and relationships with peers and adults.

Key Outcome Metrics

Academic Progress & Growth

We track scholar growth from baseline, not just absolute achievement. A scholar who makes two years of progress in one year is succeeding, even if they're below grade level. Growth is our measure of what's possible.

95% attendance rate, three years running.
12.6% chronic absenteeism at Legends Elementary.

Social-Emotional & Climate Data

We survey scholars and families about belonging, safety, relationships, and school climate. Social-emotional health is integral to academic success.

College & Career Readiness

For middle school scholars, we track indicators of readiness for high school and beyond: academic preparation, leadership experience, and access to networks.

Why We Track Outcomes

Accountability

We're accountable to our scholars, families, and funders. Tracking outcomes ensures we're delivering on our mission.

Continuous Improvement

Data shows us what's working and where we need to adjust. We use outcomes to refine our approach every year.

Equitable Impact

We disaggregate data by demographic group to ensure all scholars are thriving. We look for and address disparities.

Transparency

Families and the community deserve to know how we're doing. We share outcomes openly and honestly.

Our Approach to Outcomes

We measure multiple outcomes. We don't reduce scholar success to a single test score. We track academic growth, engagement, social-emotional health, and long-term outcomes. A whole scholar thrives in multiple ways.

We believe in growth, not just achievement. A scholar who makes two years of progress in one year is more successful than a scholar who stays in place, even if the latter started further ahead. We celebrate growth.

We disaggregate data. We look at outcomes for all scholars, and specifically for different groups: scholars of color, English learners, scholars with disabilities, scholars from low-income backgrounds. Are all groups thriving, or are some being left behind? We address disparities.

We triangulate data sources. We combine academic assessments, formative data from teachers, family feedback, and scholar voice to paint a complete picture. No single measure tells the whole story.

We use outcomes to improve. Data isn't just for reporting. It's for reflection and action. When we see a scholar struggling, we intervene. When we see a program that's working, we double down.

What Our Data Tells Us

Over six years, we've served 900+ scholars. Our two-adult classroom model works. Scholars make strong progress. Families report high satisfaction. Teachers stay and grow. The model is proving that excellent education is possible when we invest in smaller classes and partnership.

We're committed to transparent, honest reporting of our outcomes. Our detailed annual outcomes report is available in our offices and by request.
