About Edlytics
Edlytics was founded to help youth-serving organizations build evaluation and data systems that support real learning and decision-making.
Too often, evaluation becomes disconnected from the daily work of organizations—producing reports that satisfy external requirements but do little to improve programs or guide strategy. Edlytics focuses on designing systems that help leaders understand what is working, where improvement is needed, and how programs can create greater impact.
Our work centers on building practical, sustainable approaches to measurement that integrate directly into how organizations operate
About Andrew Leland
Andrew Leland, Ph.D., is the founder of Edlytics and a data and analytics leader with more than a decade of experience designing evaluation and measurement systems in mission-driven organizations.
His work has focused on helping organizations strengthen how they collect, interpret, and use data to guide programs, strategy, and leadership decision-making.
Across his career, Andrew has worked in nonprofit organizations, higher education, and K–12 education. In these settings he has led organization-wide analytics initiatives, developed evaluation frameworks aligned with institutional strategy, and built dashboards and reporting systems that translate complex datasets into actionable insights for leaders.
He has worked closely with executive leadership teams, program leaders, and frontline staff to ensure that evaluation systems are not only methodologically sound but also practical and sustainable in real organizational environments.
He has also published peer-reviewed research on leadership and the use of evidence in decision-making, including work in Educational Administration Quarterly and the Journal of Research on Leadership Education, which continues to shape his approach to evaluation: designing systems that support learning and improvement rather than simply producing reports.
Andrew holds a Ph.D. in Education from Rutgers University.
