Education Reform Initiative

Ensuring all U.S. students are prepared for college and a career

Our accountability projects showcase data, transparency, and the need for strong accountability in education. The Bush Institute’s School Leadership Initiative partners with nationally-known research organizations to generate new research to advance the field of principal leadership.  Our Middle School Matters initiative provides middle school teachers and school leaders with proven, research-based teaching strategies to increase student achievement and strategies for identifying students at-risk of dropping out.

State of Cities

State of Our Cities: Profiles of Education Performance Around the Nation provides comparable education data on more than 100 cities across the country and allows users to make comparisons at the state, national, and global level so that mayors, policymakers, and the public can engage more vigorously in education decision-making in their local communities.

The data describes indicators including: a high-quality education for every student; supported pathways to college and career; early childhood education that prepares students for the classroom; and effective educators and principals.
