Data Can Be Your District’s Most Valuable Resource
Data has the power to solve a school’s toughest challenges – but first, it has to be usable. Adopting a data standard like Ed-Fi helps you organize, secure, and connect student data across your district.
Why Ed-Fi?
When a school district’s software and systems work together and speak the same language, their value skyrockets. Educators can better serve their students and districts save time and money. Ed-Fi enables data systems from education agencies and technology providers to seamlessly connect in a single, secure place. This gives district leaders access to a complete and real-time view of their students and schools, so they can use data to make faster, more informed decisions.
-
Bring Students into Full View
By uniting all of the information about a student from across apps, tools, and systems, you can equip your district with actionable, student-level insights that disconnected data sources can’t provide.
-
Identify Patterns Throughout Your District
Removing the walls between your technology systems allows you to connect the dots and spot trends across the district, among schools, and within student populations.
-
Use Real-Time Information
When you make decisions based on live, real-time data – instead of reviewing historical reports days, weeks, or months later – you can flag issues faster and take action earlier.
-
Gain Control of Your Data
No third party should hold a school district’s data captive. When your data sources are connected, you’re not tied to separate portals, canned reports, or spreadsheets.

"Ed-Fi helps us solve the challenges we’re facing with data by being a data standard—both as a data transfer tool, as well as a data persistence tool. In other words, a way in which we can store and hang onto data and come back to it.”"
Josh Klein
Former CIO • Portland Public Schools
"There’s a lot of good work happening, but it’s in pockets and silos and not being shared enough … We want all our tools talking to each other, so there’s this collective intelligence."
