Company profile
researched Aug 2026Parsec Education, Inc. is an education technology company serving K-12 school systems in the United States. Its platform brings together assessment results, student information system records, and accountability data without manual uploads, then surfaces trends, student group insights and system-wide patterns. Reporting areas include assessment, grades, attendance, discipline, enrollment, graduation rate, early literacy and growth.
The product set spans rankings, dashboards and strategic views that let districts and schools filter by state, county, district and school level, by metric (performance or growth), by school year, and by student groups such as English learners, students with disabilities and economically disadvantaged students. Outputs are presentation-ready visuals intended for use with school boards and communities. Parsec also incorporates qualitative feedback from students, parents and staff alongside quantitative measures, and pairs the software with year-round expert analysis. A newer offering, Parsec Clarity, is described by the company as a rebuilt way of viewing K-12 school data.
Founding story
Founder and Chief Innovation Officer Eugene Park, previously a key analyst at Madera Unified School District, started the company in 2018 after observing that school systems held large volumes of data but lacked internal capacity to make it meaningful. He and his wife Victoria sold their home and used the equity to launch the business. Babatunde Ilori, Park's former supervisor, became CEO and co-owner. The name derives from the parsec, an astronomical unit of distance equal to about 3.26 light years, chosen to reflect making sense of vast distances of data.
