School Testimonials

"The bottom line is that ANet data provides real and immediate snapshots of student performance…[we] can use this data for restructuring programs and (re)deploying resources and the teachers can use this data for planning lessons and tutoring groups."
-Academy of the Pacific Rim Charter Public School, Hyde Park, Massachusetts

“The Achievement Network's work with disaggregating data, creating more rigorous assessments, and the coaching process has added a tremendous amount of value to what we do on a daily basis toward increasing student achievement. I would recommend ANet to any school leader who wants to focus on student achievement.” -Medard H. Nelson Elementary School, New Orleans, Louisiana

"We believe that an ongoing, targeted data cycle with assessments aligned to the standards and MCAS is our best bet for boosting student achievement…having someone else to create the tests, "crunch the numbers," and support us with our analysis helps us use our limited professional development time to create instructional action plans based on the data outcomes."
-Emily Glasgow, Roosevelt K-8, Boston Public Schools

“Prospect Hill Academy has had an excellent experience with The Achievement Network and the support provided by ANet. [ANet] is doing an exceptional job of providing support to a large group of leaders in a year of growth at PHA.” –Prospect Hill Academy Charter School, Somerville, Massachusetts

“I find [ANet's] assessments and data invaluable, and I am confident that these are helping to improve student achievement.”- Boston Collegiate Charter School, Boston, Massachuetts
