Who We Are
Poole Consulting Group is an external evaluation firm that helps education programs prove their impact with clarity, precision, and credibility. Since 2012, we have supported school districts, charter networks, state agencies, and foundation-funded initiatives across multiple states, delivering evaluations that leaders trust when accuracy and accountability matter most.
Our work goes beyond reporting. We provide defensible evidence, honest analysis, and clear recommendations that help programs meet requirements, strengthen implementation, and demonstrate real outcomes. Organizations choose PCG because they want more than compliance. They want an evaluation partner who understands their goals, respects their challenges, and delivers insight that strengthens their ability to serve students and communities.
Our Approach
Evaluation should do more than meet requirements. It should clarify what’s working, uncover what needs attention, and give leaders the confidence to move programs forward. Our approach blends quantitative evidence, qualitative insights, and site-based observation for a complete view of program performance.
