our goal is to
Transform
the way schools utilize the data they track by delivering high quality visualizations and analysis for all levels of school staff.
We free-up your time for more important things
We untangle the mess and save you time. Let us do the tedious data work so your teachers and staff can keep their laser focus on educating your kids. We’ll prep, format, transform, and combine your existing data into meaningful, connected data sets that can be used to answer your questions.
Performance Data
Every school analyzes school performance data, but with the many levels of performance data that exist within a school, connecting them can be difficult. We can provide actionable and easy-to-understand visualizations for the various formative, interim, and summative assessments for teachers, school admins, or school boards.
Attendance & Enrollment
Your students can’t learn if they’re not in school. Our attendance dashboards utilize attendance data from a variety of widely-used student information systems and unlock trends in absenteeism, chronic absenteeism, and tardiness. With your new enhanced attendance data you can pinpoint students and target interventions that will increase attendance and lower chronic absenteeism rates.
Let us help with your
Reporting & Submissions
As an LEA, you have dozens of reporting requirements submitted through numerous local, state, and federal submissions systems. Data is often collected and stored separately and rarely is obtainable in the exact format required for reporting. We can extract and clean data from your school systems and prepare it for final submission automatically, ready when you need it.
Quality &
our work is high quality
We know you are marketed services by hundreds of companies that promise everything. Far too often, reality doesn’t match the expectations and hype. The Diamante Group vows to deliver high quality data services every time, to every school. If you’re not happy, we’ll do whatever it takes to fix it.
Value
a reasonable price
With constrained budgets already running as tight as possible, we price our services by-the-hour or by project, whichever makes more sense for your situation. We always seek to deliver more for your money.
Our Services
The Diamante Group provides data services to schools and support organizations covering a number of different areas. We can analyze, transform, report, and visualize all types of school data to ensure staff at all levels have the data they require.
Data ANalysis
Making sense of the assorted data captured in numerous school systems can be challenging for even the most well established schools. We can connect and analyze data from multiple sources to provide meaning an context. Whether you require actionable data for teachers or school teams to use in their day-to-day or analysis of data for accountability, we’ll provide a clear and concise analysis every time.
Board Slides
School boards are comprised of volunteers and often bring together folks with varying levels of data literacy. Boards require reports that quickly and accurately convey relevant school information. Meetings are also public, so board materials must be designed with the public in mind. We can provide Board reports for any level of data literacy in a variety of formats so that school administration, board members, and parents are on the same page.
Visualizations & Dashboards
Proper presentation of data is key to identifying actionable insights. What good are reports filled with page after page of charts with no explanation? Our visualizations are specifically designed with each stakeholder in mind to highlight relevant insights so data consumers with any level of data literacy can understand and act on them; all while being visually appealing and easy to understand.
REporting & Submissions
Schools are required to report data throughout the school year to various local, state, and federal stakeholders, often through an assorted collection of systems; each with their own data formatting and submission requirements. We can extract, clean, transform and prep your data for submission so all you have to do is upload. Better yet, we’ll take care of that too if you prefer!
