Welcome to the home page of the OSDE Data Quality and Research Office. Our goal is to improve the quality and transparency of education data by leveraging automated data reporting processes, data analytics, and intuitive end-user interfaces.
These data are in turn used to produce actionable reports, visualizations, and research to drive decision-making in statewide policy and in Oklahoma schools.
This page will contain links to guidance for districts and schools in completing reports supported by Data Quality and Research. Additionally, any white papers, policy briefs, or data visualizations produced by or on behalf of OSDE will be posted here.
