Data Analysis / Metrics

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.

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.

DataZone is a county-office-managed student data warehouse and analytics service developed by the Santa Clara County Office of Education for California districts. It centralizes SIS, assessment, attendance, grade, behavior, program, state, and partner data so educators can use ready-made dashboards, self-service reports, early-warning tools, and cross-agency applications without maintaining local warehouse infrastructure.

The current service portfolio extends beyond dashboards to MTSS intervention tracking, CALPADS validation, social-emotional surveys, secure partner data exchanges, foster-youth support, and community-service referrals. Shared governance, standard definitions, county support, and interagency agreements are central to the model.

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.

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.

PowerSchool Predictive Enrollment Analytics, formerly DecisionInsite, is a district enrollment-forecasting and geographic planning platform. It combines current and historical enrollment, student locations, school boundaries, capacities, community demographics, and housing trends to project future enrollment and test operational scenarios.

District leaders use the product to inform budgeting, staffing, facility construction or closure, boundary changes, program placement, and board discussions. This is an operational planning system rather than a whole-student instructional dashboard, but it belongs in the analytics landscape because it converts SIS and demographic data into multiyear resource decisions.

Qualtrics is an experience-management, survey, workflow, and feedback analytics platform. K–12 districts use it to collect and analyze student, family, employee, and community perspectives; manage forms and program evaluations; monitor school climate and engagement; and route concerns or follow-up tasks to responsible teams.

Unlike a student data warehouse, Qualtrics begins with feedback and experience data. Its dashboards, text and statistical analysis, profiles, automation, and integrations can connect those responses with operational or academic context, but districts must design instruments, sampling, identity matching, access rules, and response workflows carefully.

ReadWrite Digital Analytics is a K–12 student data warehouse, reporting, and early-warning application. It combines multi-year information from SIS, assessment, attendance, grade, behavior, perception, and other systems so educators can see a whole-student view, find students crossing local risk thresholds, and monitor whether supports are working.

Analytics is paired with ReadWrite Digital Integrator, which automates collection and transformation from district source systems. Users can filter, group, pivot, chart, save, and securely share views while permissions limit each person to the students and data they are authorized to see.

Schoolytics is a managed K–12 data warehouse, dashboard, reporting, and student-support platform. It combines SIS, LMS, assessment, attendance, grade, behavior, survey, and other district information into role-based views for administrators, instructional coaches, counselors, teachers, students, and families.

Districts use Schoolytics to monitor strategic goals, find students needing support, analyze course and graduation pathways, track MTSS indicators, and replace recurring manual reports. The service includes automated connectors and custom data work, while districts retain access to the underlying warehouse rather than receiving dashboards as a closed black box.
