The Measurable Results Assessment (MRA) is an annual, research-backed survey administered to students, staff, and families by Leader in Me schools to track progress across leadership, culture, and academics.


By gathering honest feedback from students, staff, and parents, it gives us a clear picture of how well we are building leadership skills, creating a positive school environment, and supporting your child's academic growth. Ultimately, we use your input to make smart decisions, guide our school improvement efforts, and ensure every student gets the support they need to succeed and thrive.
