Data Doesn't Lie: Mission Aligned Street Data Tool

In the presentation "Data Doesn't Lie: Mission-Aligned Street Data to Share Our Story," we will explore how data-driven decision-making can transform a school’s narrative and drive mission-aligned outcomes. Street data—on-the-ground, real-time insights gathered from students, staff, and the community—serves as a powerful tool to tell our school’s unique story. Rather than relying solely on traditional metrics like test scores, street data captures the lived experiences and growth of students, particularly in areas aligned with our school's accelerated model and mission.

We will discuss how data can be used not only for compliance or performance measures but to build a genuine narrative that reflects the heart of our school’s work. From graduation plans to community involvement, this session will show how our data illuminates student success, identifies areas for improvement, and strengthens the school-community connection. You’ll also see how using real-time data has helped us foster inclusion, improve student outcomes, and advocate for the broader charter school movement. Attendees will leave with practical strategies for collecting and using street data to tell their own school’s mission-aligned story, ensuring that every student’s journey is recognized and celebrated.
