Evaluation Reports and Studies
Portland Public Schools is committed to the importance of collecting and using program evaluation data at all levels of the organization. Evaluation results provide the educational community with information to inform decision making or policy formation. The purpose of the evaluations is to provide useful, empirically driven feedback for future program development and to modify and improve existing programs.
Following are reports of internal and external research studies and evaluations conducted in Portland Public Schools.
