We empower school and district leaders to improve educational outcomes, equity, and accountability.

We are a team of educators, economists, and engineers bringing Nobel Prize-winning capabilities to all schools, districts, CMOs, and governments. We envision a world where all students have access to high quality, affordable education in a system that learns from each other and spreads best practices.

 
 
With our algorithm, 30,000 students, roughly one-third of applicants, were able to choose their school, rather than being manually assigned.

Choice matters. Getting your first choice school increases achievement by 0.4 standard deviations in Math and 0.14 in reading.
