Our Research

Research, and the data we derive from it, is central to all we do and create. It informs our professional development and validates our assessments. It guides our policies, and helps us contribute to the larger community of scholars concerned with putting children at the center of their own educations. Here's how.

Growth Research Database

Twelve years of test questions and answers – over 4.5 billion items – form the basis of our Growth Research Database, the most extensive database of its kind in the country. Find out how it improves our results, reporting, policy and more.
