Data, Research, and Statistics
-
If you are an ASD employee and need data or statistics for an ASD related project, please submit an internal JIRA ticket to the IT Service Desk (Q reports and student data) OR the Assessment Service Desk (Assessment data).
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 safety requirements for ASD sites, all in-person research requests (surveys, interviews, observations, or data gathering activities) have been severely limited until further notice. Individulas with a pre-existing professional relationship to a school, program, teacher, principal, or director may still be considered. Please keep these considerations in mind when submitting a research request.
All data and research requests undergo a review process by ASD leadership. This process may take a couple weeks or a couple months depnding on time of the year, limited district resources, and the scope/complexity of work to be reviewed. Plan ahead for a long review process when submitting a request.
Due to the interruptions of COVID-19, PEAKS/DLM, MAP Growth, and FastBridge assessment testing did not occur in spring or fall of 2020. These data are not available.

Conduct Research at ASD
- The Anchorage School District is the largest school district in Alaska, filled with diverse and vibrant students and staff. We receive dozens of requests each year to participate in research, both local and national. We weigh the potential benefits of each research request against the time and education costs for each student. We only approve research that provides a clear benefit to our students.
- Research is a process to gather new data. Research usually involves surveys, interviews, focus groups, and field observation. If you want to request existing data see the above section "Request Data from ASD".
- Please see Student Privacy for more information on FERPA, PPRA, the eight protected areas, and survey exemptions before submitting a research request.
If you have read about Student Privacy and Required Documentation and still want to conduct research at ASD, complete a Research Request.
If you wish to conduct research at ASD and need existing data for your research, please complete both data request and research request forms.
