We’ve all done it, or know someone who has—crammed for a test last minute. And while you might retain enough information to pass, are you really proficient in the task? Do you actually have knowledge that you could apply to another problem? That’s the issue many educators face at state testing time when trying to make sure students are prepared.

Imagine these year-end scenarios for your school or district: State testing up 22% across ELA and math. 37% reduction of schools labelled a D or F, with a move up to B or C. Moving from one of the lowest-rated schools in the county to the top 10. A first-time graduation rate of over 90%.

U.S. students continue to lag behind their peers in other high-performing nations—a stark reminder that district and school leaders must find better ways to drive measurable results. With increased scrutiny and a higher bar for accountability, they need to know what’s happening in their own schools and classrooms—what’s working, what’s not, why, and what can be done about it. And evidence-based interventions are just half of the success equation; they also need better data insights.
