School district reporting and analysis
Signed by President George W. Bush in January 2002, the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) was designed to create the best educational opportunities for children and to ensure they have every opportunity to succeed. The law is built on four common-sense pillars: accountability for results; an emphasis on doing what works based on scientific research; expanded parental options; and expanded local control and flexibility.

The first NCLB pillar, accountability for results, is where Databeacon can make an instant impact for school districts. Teachers, parents and district administrators can all get browser-based access to the Reporting and Data Analysis that’s important to them at a fraction of the cost traditionally associated with this type of technology.

Canceling the requirement for costly consulting studies, anyone equipped with a browser and a need to know can use Databeacon’s explorable reports to answer education-related questions such as:

• Which schools received additional funding for such special items as remedial instruction?
  
• How can we pinpoint problem areas in test results before they hurt the school’s district standing?
  
• Can a curriculum switch lead to improved grades?

By providing every school district stakeholder with the ability to view, create and collaborate on self-serve reports and data analysis, Databeacon offers many opportunities to transform “spreadsheet farms” and static student performance data into one-stop self-serve reporting that turns questions into actions, and educational challenges into academic achievement.
