MPR’s staff of approximately 75 has a wide range of backgrounds in the social sciences, public policy, teaching, and publication and dissemination, but we share a common commitment to improving education. We have expertise in designing statistical studies, analyzing large databases, and combining quantitative and qualitative research methods effectively in public policy and school improvement initiatives. MPR also provides technical assistance and develops practical tools for the classroom.

MPR is dedicated to communicating our work clearly to a variety of audiences. Our work for individual clients also reaches the broader public, including Congress and state legislatures. We make research and analysis widely accessible through strong writing, effective graphics, and creative use of technology.

MPR Associates has offices in Berkeley, California, Washington, D.C., and Portland, Oregon.
