Rennie Center for Education Research & Policy

The Rennie Center pairs research with on-the-ground practice to drive better outcomes for students across Massachusetts. Their annual Condition of Education (COE) in the Commonwealth report gives a clear view of the state of public education and a framework for improvement. Each year, the Rennie Center also brings that conversation to Western Massachusetts, convening educators, business leaders, and state officials to explore how research and innovation can strengthen local schools. Read the 2026 COE Action Guide and explore their data dashboard to see how Massachusetts schools are performing and what it will take to strengthen them.
