Cloud City Conservation Center: Reading Proficiency

In 2025, the Colorado Equity Compass launched a Data Use Learning Collaborative, providing a paid opportunity for community-based organizations to gain practical skills using data to promote equity. Organizations worked with the Equity Data Navigator and data about the social determinants of health data to learn about the needs of the communities they serve.

This story product comes from CEC Data Use Learning Collaborative awardee Cloud City Conservation Center (C4). C4 examined data about reading proficiency in Lake County. Because Lake County is such a small school district, they found that even a small amount of support can make a big impact – not just for an individual student, but for the district as a whole.
