Data Management Made Simple
Effective data management is essential for ensuring accurate data. We take into account the process of updating with year over year changes, and aggregating data across various sources. Data Modeling eliminates redundancy and mess, making it easier to analyze and understand.
Example Below
Think of data modeling as organizing student attendance and a dimension of time into clear, separate categories, and then linking the tables together on specific columns.
Scalability
This schema allows for scalability when a certain table values change year over year. We only need to change values in one area, rather than having them sprinkled across multiple tables.
Accuracy
As data is normalized and column values become predictable, we can identify outliers, duplicates, nulls, or values not within range for certain columns. We go the extra mile for data accuracy.
Reusability
Tables can be re-used amongst other queries, putting an emphasis on efficiency.
Time Table
| semester_id | semester_name | start_date | end_date | school_year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Spring | 2024-01-01 | 2024-05-31 | 2023-2024 |
| 2 | Fall | 2024-08-01 | 2024-12-15 | 2024-2025 |
Attendance Table
| student_id | date_taken | days_present | days_missing | average_daily_attendance | chronic_classifier |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1001 | 2024-01-15 | 160 | 8 | 0.95 | N |
| 1002 | 2024-08-20 | 155 | 10 | 0.88 | Y |
Combined (Student Attendance by Time)
| student_id | school_year | average_daily_attendance | chronic_classifier | semester_name |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1001 | 2023-2024 | 0.95 | N | Spring |
| 1002 | 2024-2025 | 0.88 | Y | Fall |
Measurable Outcomes from Organized Data
Measurable metrics allow you to identify areas for improvement, monitor progress over time, and make data-driven decisions that directly support student success and school efficiency. By using organized and reliable data models, we can track measurable outcomes that directly impact the success of your school:
Improved Student Performance
Track GPA and attendance trends, how attendance affects grades, and monitor graduation rates.
Operational Efficiency
Save time by automating reporting, and reduce errors in manual data handling.
Resource Optimization
Track and manage budgets, staff allocation, and ensure that resources are being used effectively.
