Data Talks by Grad Metrics: A Strategic Guide for Counseling Teams and Educational Leaders

At Grad Metrics, we believe every student deserves a clear path to graduation. We partner with schools to uncover the hidden barriers that prevent student success—and help build systems that break them down. Our consulting work centers on empowering counseling teams and educational leaders with the tools, training, and frameworks they need to drive measurable outcomes.

Through customized implementation of Collaborative Learning Teams (CLTs), Grad Metrics helps schools shift from siloed support models to unified, data-informed strategies. We specialize in building sustainable CLT structures, coaching teams to analyze student data effectively, and aligning school practices with proven success metrics. The result? Stronger promotion rates, higher graduation percentages, and a culture of shared accountability.

Our flagship publication, Data Talks: A Strategic Guide for Counseling Teams and Educational Leaders, is more than a book—it’s a blueprint for transformation. Designed for high school counselors and administrators, Data Talks introduces CLTs as a powerful framework for collaboration and targeted intervention. Drawing from real-world success stories, the guide shows how schools have moved from fragmented efforts to cohesive, grade-level teams that achieved up to 96% graduation rates.

Whether you're a district leader, counselor, or school administrator, Grad Metrics and Data Talks offer a clear, actionable path to improving student outcomes through inquiry, teamwork, and data-driven decision-making.
