“The Decatur City Schools Foundation’s partnership with the Public Affairs Research Council of Alabama is essential for providing unbiased, third party data for how our schools are performing and where opportunities for improvement exist. In many cases, PARCA is able to point toward best practices that can be implemented in our schools and drive improvement in student performance. Third party data analysis, as provided by PARCA, is essential in pursuing excellence in our schools.”

Data and Accountability

In 2012, we partnered with the Public Affairs Research Council of Alabama (PARCA) to assist in reviewing and evaluating district test scores and graduation rates. This relationship allows us to establish where our efforts are most needed in regard to funding and partnering with the school system to provide continual improvement.
