"DecisionEd is pleased to assist Kyrene in integrating their data, allowing its administrators and teachers assistance in their goal of increasing student achievement, leading to improved performance for the district," said DecisionEd Chief Architect Mark Mason.
"The Kyrene Elementary School District is excited to partner with DecisionEd," said Mark Share, Director of Curriculum and Learning Services. "Our staff takes pride in putting data in the hands of teachers and administrators so that they may make informed decisions to guide instruction and learning. The DecisionEd Data Warehouse will pull together data from disparate systems, including our student information system, human resources/finance system, and student assessment system, so that staff may determine which variables most affect our overall goal of increasing student achievement. Once we isolate the variables and put programs in place to address the needs and concerns, the DecisionEd Data Warehouse will then help us to monitor the effectiveness of our actions."
DecisionEd's solution is based on quantitative decision tools long used by business, tailored to the unique needs of education. The data warehousing solution leverages the industry-leading IBM Cognos® platform for delivery of dashboards and reports. By combining disparate databases, the solution helps K-12 school districts consolidate information critical to meeting their goals. A complete, easy-to-understand accounting of critical metrics enables schools to make more informed decisions that lead to improved student success and graduation rates.
The Kyrene Elementary School District, is an "A" rated district comprised of 25 schools (19 elementary and 6 middle schools). It enrolls approximately 18,000 students in kindergarten through eighth grade, and is located in the Phoenix Arizona metropolitan area.
