School Performance Institute

School Performance Institute (SPI) launched as the learning and improvement arm of the nonprofit United Schools Network on July 1, 2017 with start-up grant funding support from the W. G. and Patricia M. Jurgensen Fund of The Columbus Foundation, The Columbus Foundation and the AEP Foundation. From the start, our core purpose has been to seek out, study, and spread school design and improvement best practices to high poverty schools. We are combining what we’ve learned on more than 120 school visits across the country with our experience running four high-performing, high-poverty public charter schools in Columbus, Ohio to improve outcomes for the nation’s most underserved students.
