Data Analysis / Metrics

Acadience Data Management is the legacy data-entry and reporting service for Acadience literacy and mathematics assessments. Acadience Learning is moving customers and historical records into Acadience Learning Online (ALO), the current platform for digital or manual assessment administration, immediate scoring, dashboards, progress monitoring, goal setting, and reports.

This is a focused assessment data system rather than a districtwide analytics warehouse. It helps educators identify students at risk in foundational reading or mathematics, review benchmark and progress-monitoring results, evaluate instructional support, create groups, and report from student through district levels.

Aeries Analytics is the reporting, dashboard, and early-warning component built into the Aeries student information system. It turns current SIS information—including attendance, grades, discipline, assessments, program participation, interventions, graduation progress, and California college-and-career indicators—into configurable charts, student groups, and watchlists.

Because the analytics operate directly on Aeries data, districts do not need to build a separate warehouse or routine export for the supported indicators. Teachers and administrators can move from a district or school dashboard to the individual students behind a result, then create groups or record interventions using the same operational student record.

BrightBytes Clarity is an education analytics platform organized around research-based frameworks. Districts use surveys and connected operational or outcome data to examine areas such as technology implementation, digital learning conditions, school improvement, student success, and organizational readiness, with dashboards that compare results across schools and groups.

The platform's distinguishing approach is to pair collected evidence with benchmarks and recommended actions rather than provide open-ended business intelligence alone. BrightBytes was acquired by Google, but current public product and support information is limited; districts should verify the current contracting entity, available modules, and roadmap before treating this listing as an actively marketed standalone platform.

Application usage analytics for resources accessed through ClassLink LaunchPad. ClassLink Analytics organizes engagement information by application and school to support technology spending, implementation review, and professional learning decisions.

Not to be confused with: Analytics+ extends visibility to digital resources used outside LaunchPad; this record identifies Analytics.

Videri is Instructure's K–12 data visualization product for combining information from SIS, assessment, attendance, behavior, special education, gradebook, and other systems. It gives educators watchlists, scorecards, longitudinal charts, accountability dashboards, and drill-down views that move from district trends to individual students.

Instructure now directs prospective Videri customers toward Elevate K–12 Analytics, indicating a product transition within the Instructure data and interoperability portfolio. Existing customers should confirm whether their deployment remains Videri or has migrated to Elevate and whether the Certica Connect integration layer is still part of the licensed architecture.

Not to be confused with Elevate Data Sync or Elevate Data Quality: those are separate products for data exchange and data validation. Elevate K-12 Analytics provides dashboards and analysis.

The Kern Integrated Data System (KiDS) is a countywide education data platform operated through the Kern Education Pledge and Kern County Superintendent of Schools. It brings nightly SIS and other district data from participating Kern County districts into shared dashboards that support student, classroom, school, district, and regional analysis.

KiDS is both technology and a collaborative service model. Its modules cover whole-student profiles, early warning and MTSS, graduation and college readiness, postsecondary outcomes, human capital, finance, and operations, while professional learning and shared governance help districts use common data across organizational boundaries.

Education technology analytics software for understanding digital application use and supporting app governance. Lightspeed Insight helps districts review engagement, license use, and privacy information when evaluating their digital resource portfolio. The product was previously called Lightspeed Digital Insight.

Not to be confused with: Lightspeed MDM is a device management product; Insight analyzes the application portfolio.

Microsoft Power BI is a general-purpose business intelligence platform and a core analytics workload within Microsoft Fabric. District teams can connect files, databases, cloud systems, warehouses, and APIs; transform and model data; build interactive reports; and distribute governed dashboards through Microsoft workspaces and applications.

Power BI can support instructional, enrollment, finance, HR, facilities, compliance, and public reporting, but it does not include a ready-made K–12 data warehouse or common metric definitions. District value depends on the quality of source-system integrations, semantic models, security rules, licensing, and staff or partner capacity to maintain the solution.

PowerSchool Performance Matters is a K–12 assessment and instructional analytics platform. Educators create or select standards-aligned items, administer online or paper assessments, score student work, and analyze results by item, standard, class, school, subgroup, or student.

The platform can place local assessment results beside state tests, diagnostics, attendance, behavior, grades, and other measures to provide a broader view of student performance. Its primary purpose is assessment management and instructional decision-making rather than enterprise data warehousing, so it overlaps the Assessment category as much as Data and Analytics.
