The Baltimore Education Research Consortium (BERC) is a partnership between Johns Hopkins University, Morgan State University, and the Baltimore City Public School System to enhance Baltimore’s capacity to conduct strategic data analysis that supports improvements in the education of Baltimore’s children.
Visit its website to read two recent reports-one follows a cohort of first graders as they progress through the sixth grade-and a second follows a cohort of sixth graders as they progress through to graduation. BERC is beginning a three year investigation of the factors that enable students to progress and those that prevent students from progressing to graduation on time, with grade level skills.
