Background: The Community Center for Education Results (CCER) is a 501(c)(3) organization that was originally founded in 2010 as the backbone for a King County education initiative known as the Road Map Project, and we have since become Washington state’s leading expert in educational data and research. We drive systems change by centering student experiences, engaging families and communities, and bringing together a wide range of partners to transform education in Washington. We continue to support the Road Map Project Region to improve educational outcomes from early learning through postsecondary, in a region consisting of seven King County, Washington school districts: Auburn, Federal Way, Highline, Kent, Renton, (South) Seattle, and Tukwila. This area is home to more than 127,000 K-12 students: 72 percent are youth of color; 55 percent are from low-income households; and 22 percent are English language learners.
Mission: Our mission is to drive systems change in education by centering student experiences, propelling robust research, and partnering with community to transform Washington state schools,
Vision: We envision a future in which the educational system serves the well-being and success of every student at any age
