Data Management and Capacity Building

Transforming complex data into actionable insights for nearly three decades. We create custom solutions that make data management easy and accountability seamless.

Data Management for Federal and State Programs

For nearly three decades, Edstar Analytics has managed data and provided digestible analysis for state and federally funded programs. We create custom data management systems that are easy to use and capture the data you need, while ensuring fiscal accountability for grant funds.

Making Data Easy to Understand

We produce technical reports required for accountability to funders and also provide infographics and dashboards for program staff decision-making. We create presentations for our clients to communicate results to stakeholders and at professional conferences.

Making Data Easy to Manage

We understand different stakeholder perspectives regarding data. Some staff need individual records, while others need electronic data for monitoring and reporting. We create custom online forms that serve the unique needs of all stakeholders.

View our NC Professional Teaching Standards example to see how we create forms that provide teachers with artifact documents while building comprehensive databases for evaluation.

Interactive Dashboard Example

The following example demonstrates one of Edstar Analytics’ interactive dashboards. Use the dropdown menus to select school districts and toggle between numbers and percentages to explore Read to Achieve results. All visualizations are driven by publicly available data displayed in the data tab.

Why Interactive Dashboards Matter

Interactive dashboards transform static reports into dynamic tools for exploration and discovery. Stakeholders can filter, compare, and analyze data in real-time, making informed decisions based on the specific information most relevant to their needs.

Data Academies and Tools for Understanding

For decades, Edstar Analytics has helped school staff write School Improvement Plans, implement the American School Counselor Association National Model, and establish data-driven goals for grant-funded programs. We create tools that help educators use data more effectively.
