PUSD Data, Research, and Continuous Improvement
The Department of Planning, Innovation, Accountability and Special Projects is committed to transforming complex educational data into clear, actionable insights for our community. We collect, analyze, and communicate student performance, demographic, and engagement data to support informed decision-making at every level of Pasadena Unified — from the classroom to the boardroom. Through transparency, rigor, and innovation, we ensure that every stakeholder has access to the information they need to advance student success.

Open data. Informed community. Better outcomes for kids.
ALERT: Pasadena Unified School District has paused the acceptance of all external research proposals and partnership requests until further notice. We appreciate your interest in collaborating with PUSD and will share updates as they become available.
