Asora Education Enterprises offers a number of different services to the K-12 education sector. Of relevance here to SES is its data analysis capability in which NAEP proficiencies can be estimated for local schools and districts- information that the NAEP organization is prohibited to measure. Our estimates remove the “fluff” and exaggeration typical of state reported student proficiencies. As such they provide sobering information about student needs and can be used to demonstrate, school by school, what percentage of the children are below grade level. Asora provides this information to interested vendors and others by means of its public school guidebooks and/or through contract research. Lastly, our guidebooks provide a directory to SES and other supplementary (and alternative) providers within each region covered. For vendors seeking expansion of their Private Pay work, our data can help you do targeted marketing to parents of students who are likely behind. Come talk to us about how we can help you.
