ECRA Group started its journey over 40 years ago as an academic research and psychometrics firm.

Initially, ECRA led and supported large contracted research studies related to strategic planning, program evaluation, norming, and scaling. Over the years we have learned that while academic research plays a critical role in shaping educational policy and best practice, it is often too slow and too costly to have immediate impact at the local school district level.

Today, ECRA offers local school districts the scientific rigor of a top university through simple and accessible analytic models directed at quantifying the impact of improvement efforts. We combine consulting, professional development, and advanced analytic technology to empower educational leaders at the local level with solutions to ensure energy and resources are directed toward what truly matters for students.
