NEW: School Improvement Partnership’s podcast, What Charter School Leadership Looks Like, is now live! Listen here.

SIP Database

As featured in Forbes, Bloomberg & DPC Data! The School Improvement Partnership Database contains financial, academic, operating & social impact data on 7,900+ charter schools, 900+ CMOs & charter school borrowers across 33 states and DC.

Multiple years of financial data on over 900 obligors.  For each financial audit, the SIP Database contains more than 100 financial data points, always refreshing automatically to include the three most recent years.

In addition to the exceptional coverage, some of the highlights of the SIP Database are:

  • Enhanced Compare page: Clients can now compare 99% of charter schools & CMOs or just a single state and export the data to Excel or via API.
  • Proximity function. Clients can now compare all schools within a zip code + user-defined radius, even if they cross state boundaries.
  • Distressed Filter: Ability to quickly identify schools with negative net Income, schools with less than 45 days cash on hand, or declining enrollment greater than 5%. By state or for all the US.
  • Custom Portfolio: The ability to create multiple portfolios that will automatically be refreshed with updated data every time you open it.
