Data Challenges
Does this sound familiar?
Every K-12 district we talk to runs into the same walls. Here's what we hear — and what we do about it.
Your data lives in too many places
SIS, assessment vendors, HR — each system is its own island. Nothing talks to each other, and pulling a cross-system report means hours of manual merging.
Your reports take days, not minutes
Every board report starts with a spreadsheet sprint. Staff pull, clean, and merge files by hand — then do it all over again the next time a question comes up.
You don't have a dedicated data engineering team
Building and maintaining data infrastructure requires a skill set most districts don't have in-house — and can't easily hire for on a public-sector budget.
You don't have a single source of truth
Two people pull the same metric and get different numbers. Nobody's confident in the data, so decisions get deferred or made on instinct instead.
Here's what we do about it.
Automated Data Pipelines
We connect the systems your district already runs on — SIS, assessment platforms, HR, and more — and build pipelines that run on a schedule. Clean, reliable data delivered automatically. No exports, no merging.
