Accountability and Performance Tools

NewSchools has supported a number of ventures that improve educational accountability and performance.

Scale:

Carnegie Learning is helping more than 375,000 students in over 1000 school districts across the United States succeed in math with computer-based and teacher led math curricula.
Success for All has helped more than one million preK-8 students in more than 1,200 schools learn to read.
GreatSchools has provided clear, essential school information - including more than 120,000 school profiles and 180,000 parent school reviews - to over 36 million parents and guardians.

Quality:

Carnegie Learning's cognitive science-based math curricula improves outcomes by integrating interactive software sessions, text, and teacher-led classroom lessons into a unique learning platform. Participating students outperform their peers on state standardized tests and the SAT as well as indicate higher confidence in their mathematical abilities.
In almost every state that publishes its test scores, Success for All schools have gained more on state tests than other schools.
GreatSchools has helped parents and other stakeholders to make choices about public education by providing accurate and relevant information on schools and districts.
