"ConfluentEDU has revolutionized the way we make decisions in our district, we are now able to spot trends earlier, find correlations between test scores and student achievement, and monitor No Child Left Behind subgroup performance to head off problems before they adversely affect our district." Dan Ice, Director of Technology for Alexandria-Monroe Community Schools in Indiana

"ConfluentEDU paid for itself within two weeks after we installed it! Our district was hit with an OCR (Office of Civil Rights) allegation.

Problems Facing K-12 Districts

Regulatory programs from local, state, and federal agencies (such as the “No Child Left Behind” act) place substantial new requirements on educators to track and report numerous educational performance metrics, manage curricula and demonstrate annual improvement in student achievement. In response to this situation, K-12 administrators are now adopting advanced Data Driven Decision Making tools. The goal is to automate data collection for meeting federal reporting requirements while enabling data driven analysis to support a scientific, decision making process and a closed loop system for continuous improvement.
