Our services

The team behind the scenes at many great schools.

Teaching happens in the classroom. Behind the scenes, someone has to close the books, forecast the cash, keep student records clean, and plan for facilities. That is our work, so your team can stay focused on students.

Here is what that looks like at one school.

Meadowview is a Pre-K to 8th grade charter school in the Midwest serving more than 700 students, every one of whom qualifies for free or reduced-price meals. EdOps began working with the school in 2018-19, with one shared goal: fewer students left Below Basic in reading.

Meadowview: reducing Below Basic in reading

Illustration of 480 tested students in grades 3 to 8. In spring 2018, 26% scored Below Basic in reading. EdOps estimated each student's probability of scoring Below Basic and tracked it through each data cycle. By spring 2019 the rate fell to 16%, twice the goal of reaching 21%.

Spring 2018. One in four students tested Below Basic in reading.

Each dot is a tested student in grades 3 to 8. Rings are students who scored Below Basic.

A label became a probability.

EdOps combined monthly interim results with prior state tests to estimate each student's chance of scoring Below Basic. Outcomes stopped looking settled.

One goal for the year.

Shrink Below Basic in reading from 26% to 21% or better. Every data meeting started there.

Every data cycle, the same question.

After each interim round, leaders asked which grades and classrooms were furthest from goal, then moved time and attention there.

Targeted, student by student.

Interventionists worked on the specific skills each student was missing, like writing prompts in 4th grade.

Spring 2019: 16%. Twice the goal.

A 10-point drop in one year. Math moved from 38% to 34%, one point short of its target.
