Anthony Clemons

Anthony Clemons is a Bay Area–based educator, researcher, and academic leader whose work sits at the intersection of teaching, data, and equity. He currently teaches high school mathematics and graduate-level quantitative methods courses in the School of Education, while also supporting school-wide systems that shape student experience, academic programming, and institutional decision-making. Across roles, he is known for translating complex data into clear, human-centered insights that support students, teachers, and school leaders.

His latest research draws on Quantitative Critical Race Theory (QuantCrit), institutional logics, and discourse analysis to examine how elite independent schools frame and enact diversity, equity, and inclusion amid market pressures. Grounded in both scholarship and practice, his work explores how data can be used not only for accountability but for critical reflection and transformative change within schools. Dr. Clemons is deeply committed to mentoring educators, strengthening learning communities, and advancing equity through thoughtful, evidence-informed leadership.
