Data Mining Has Never Been Simpler
schooltoolIQ is a Data Analysis and Mining product that allows K-12 school district administrators to spot trends, predict outcomes and make faster, better, data-driven decisions by analyzing their volumes of data.
As the need for accurate reporting is increasing with No Child Left Behind (NCLB) requirements, educators are being pressed for prompt, accurate answers. "How did my ninth graders perform on the high-stakes tests this year compared to last year?" "Do we have a problem with fighting in our high school?" "Which teachers are producing the highest level of student improvement?" While many of the questions being asked are very important, the sheer volume can be overwhelming.
schooltoolIQ is the answer to this problem. This fast and powerful knowledge tool automatically pulls data from a variety of sources, including industry standard student information systems, and lets administrators easily answer pressing questions. These answers are delivered through a user-friendly graphical interface that can create customized pie charts, bar graphs and other visual renderings and reports. With schooltoolIQ, K-12 administrators can easily view data and answer questions about what's going on in their districts, schools and classrooms.

schooltoolIQ's unique approach to solving the business intelligence dilemma begins by helping administrators spot trends and identify potential problems. After working with our customers to identify key metrics, The IQ tool can extract and synchronize data from any of the organization's existing data sources, whether as complex as SQL or as simple as a .csv file sent from the state board.

The information is then conveniently displayed giving the user the ability to easily navigate a large number of data dimensions and fields. Because all of the information is stored as an assigned object, decision makers are able to re-categorize data sets on the fly, through the tree technology and view with graphic interfaces or export to excel, print or pdf report format.
