We believe everyone in the community is accountable for student success. Students, parents and caregivers, school officials, community organizations, government agencies, businesses, and policymakers are all responsible for how every child is doing right now and for achieving better, more equitable results in the future. We believe that data is never evidence of the success or failure of any one program, organization, sector or group of people, and that our community is stronger when we come together to tackle systemic issues.

A key function of AHR’s role as a backbone in our collective impact model is measuring community-level impact. This allows us to help the community understand and track its progress towards shared goals over time, to engage in continuous improvement, to set priorities and determine high-leverage aligned strategies, and to make the case for funding. This work includes a public dashboard compiling disaggregated outcome data for Multnomah County, specialized research projects, and targeted data support for the partnership’s initiatives (TBD).
