WHO WE ARE
The Policy Research in Missouri Education (PRiME) Center is a non-partisan research center housed in the Saint Louis University School of Education. Opened in the Spring of 2019, we are wholly committed to conducting and sharing research that leads to better policies, educational outcomes, and opportunities for all students.
WHAT WE DO
We conduct and share research on education. We help lawmakers, educators, and families in the state of Missouri make decisions about education policy and practice. Our mission is to ensure that the people making decisions and building policies around education have the relevant data and evidence they need to build the best and most equitable educational systems possible.
our publications
We offer a variety of free publications to help parents, educators, and policymakers stay current on education policy and research. These written summaries explore new studies, analyses, and trends across schools and districts in the state of Missouri and throughout the US.
