About Us

Who we are:
SCCORE.org is the Southern California Consortium on Research in Education, which began its work in 2001. It is based in the Program in Public Policy Analysis at Pomona College in Claremont, California.

Our mission:
SCCORE.org's mission is to gather and publish authoritative information and analysis on elementary and secondary education in the Five County Region: Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino and Ventura Counties. The Consortium seeks to inform and improve the public conversation about schools and school reform. Our intended audience includes policy-makers, practitioners, parents, and the public, as well as researchers and those who fund their research.

Where we get our data:
All reports on SCCORE.org pages were developed using publicly available data, most of which is published on-line by the California Department of Education. We are indebted to the sponsors of California's Public Schools Accountability Act of 1999 (authored by State Senator Dede Alpert, Pomona College class of 1967), and to those who gather and report this data.
