State Longitudinal Data Systems
Throughout the country, states are building education data systems containing a wealth of information about all facets of secondary and postsecondary education. Although state data are used universally for reporting and accountability purposes, if properly configured and analyzed, these data also can help improve programs, policy, and practice.
MPR staff have extensive experience working with state data and data systems — planning and designing comprehensive longitudinal systems, enhancing systems, analyzing data for specific needs, and making data useful and accessible. We also work with clients to build their skills in gathering and using data effectively.
Our expertise includes:
- Planning, designing, and managing state longitudinal data systems.
- Developing business applications from state education data systems.
- Merging and analyzing education data from different state systems.
- Connecting education data to information about employment.

- Using state data to redesign funding formulas to reflect state goals and develop strategic plans.
- Analyzing state student achievement and demographic data.
- Creating data tools to improve the accessibility and usefulness of state data.
