Our Services

School Ventures offers data collection, analysis, and communication services to public education clients. The Company's approach involves working with its clients to:

  • Collect comprehensive financial, operating, and academic data on public schools and public school systems;
  • Analyze the data as a way to gain unique insights through peer comparisons;
  • Monitor and evaluate progress towards public objectives;
  • Supply best practice solutions to public school leaders and operators; and
  • Communicate data and interpretations in formats that are easy to digest.

We analyze student achievement on standardized tests, and student enrolment, attendance, completion, repetition and dropout rates. We evaluate the public school learning environment including class sizes, teacher qualifications, student resources, and student demographics. We complement that with assessment of public school financial characteristics including revenues, spending, taxes and debts and offer provincial and national comparisons. We also consider how community demographics such as adult education levels, household incomes, and labor force statistics affect and influence student achievement.

Our services go further than collection and presentation of data. We provide written analyses relating to the academic and financial performance of schools and school systems including comparative benchmarks and multiyear trends.

In this way we intend to provide our public education clients with quality tools to determine effective ways to align public education delivery to the goals and objectives of national development and competitiveness.
