Data & Analytics

SchoolTool supplies a countless number of standard (and customizable!) reports.

We're also constantly adding new reports based on the latest state requirements, district needs, and special requests.

Here are just a few of our favorite reports available to SchoolTool customers, several of which are in support of unique New York State requirements:

• New York State-Aid Report

  Financial support for public schools is a critical component of addressing student performance and needs—eliminating the achievement gap, reducing class sizes, supporting at-risk students, addressing student social-emotional health, and providing adequate resources to English language learners, students with disabilities, and students experiencing homelessness.

  With SchoolTool, you’ll be able to tackle the SA129 State Attendance report with ease and identify students who are eligible for State Aid. This report has a direct impact on the amount of State Aid public school districts and BOCES receive from the New York State Education Department, and ensures you are maximizing what your district receives for your “pay day” from the state that can be directly translated into assisting students in need.

• School Safety and the Educational Climate (SSEC) Report

  Safety is paramount in education, and a school environment that is safe and healthy has been linked to improved student learning and success. An important part of ensuring successful school outcomes is to have awareness around what kinds of incidents are happening and identify trends, patterns, and anomalies to potentially prevent a future incident from happening again.

  SchoolTool’s out-of-the-box SSEC Summary Data Report gives administrators the flexibility to see all reported incidents in a single view or filter the information to only see the color-coded reportable categories New York State requires. They can select the school year, building school level, and group of students to see tallied incidents, offenders, and victims by type of incident. Together, we can be informed, proactive, and create a robust culture of health and safety within our schools.

• BOCES Attendance Report

  We understand that while we have a lot of standard reports available that meet universal needs across New York State districts, each of our customers still have their own unique challenges or offerings that may require a customized report. While SchoolTool customers can customize reports on their own, our team can take the lead and build a custom report for you when you can’t quite get to where you’re trying to go on your own.

  An example of SchoolTool’s custom report development is with a report built in collaboration with BT BOCES to tackle their unique circumstances around attendance. While many attendance reports can only capture one daily absence, many of BOCES have half-day sessions (morning and afternoon) that they need to log student absences for separately. At the time, the system didn’t allow staff to identify which session (AM or PM) the student was absent from, creating inaccurate accounting of student attendance.

  Our custom report—which has since been added as a standard report offering to benefit all NYS BOCES—gives staff the flexibility to log a student’s attendance separately for morning and afternoon sessions, identify the student's primary program, they are enrolled in, and shows which period they were absent from.

  

• Canned and Custom Reports

  We have hundreds of pre-built reports that meet the similar data interests of public schools, BOCES, charter schools, and county vocational education and extension boards.

  If schools need to customize reports further to suit a specific request, they have the ability to edit a canned report, or build their own custom report from scratch to self-service their data analysis needs.

We have an extensive list of available reports, so we encourage you to schedule a demo to see what’s available to meet your specific challenges and needs.
