About Community Center for Education Results

Creating positive systems change in education

The Community Center for Education Results (CCER) was originally founded in 2010 as the backbone for the Road Map Project. Today we are Washington state’s leading expert in educational data and research, engaging communities, school districts, and state agencies in a collective effort to improve student education and create positive systems change—in the Road Map region and beyond.

Rooted in a commitment to racial justice, CCER addresses inequities in our education systems by taking an innovative approach to conducting research, collecting and analyzing data, and creating accessible tools for understanding results. We work with schools and organizations to use data and evolve their data practices as they pursue quality education for every student. And we catalyze collective action by working closely with communities and institutions to design and implement equitable solutions to systemic problems.

We envision a future in which the educational system serves the well-being and success of every student at any age. By working together with our many partners, we are helping to prepare young people to thrive in school, college, the workforce, their communities, and the world.
