We Measure the Impact of Products on Your Students.

You’ll know which products are moving the needle on your students’ test scores, attendance, and other important outcomes.

The Problem You're Facing

You’re a district leader committed to student success, but you face immense
pressure to ensure every resource delivers real impact.

The Challenge of Proof

How can you truly measure the impact of educational products, especially when budgets are tight and accountability is paramount?

Time & Resources are Scarce

You have a wealth of district data, but finding the time and internal resources to conduct rigorous evaluations to inform your decisions is nearly impossible.

Justifying Spending

It's hard to justify significant investments in products without clear, objective data showing their effectiveness.

Identifying What Works

Without unbiased insights, it's difficult to pinpoint which products are truly working for your students and which need adjustment or discontinuation.

Parsimony’s services are used by school districts like:
