Our Story
We started out with just a few dedicated individuals from K–12 backgrounds who saw a need for better, more accessible data. Having worked in education, we knew that teachers simply didn’t have the tools and resources they needed to make data-informed decisions on a day-to-day basis. Out of that need, SchoolStatus emerged.
We develop innovative, student-centric solutions that help school communities foster connectedness, promote attendance, and meet their unique goals. From powerful reporting and two-way communication tools to best-in-class customer service, everything we do drives meaningful results for districts and schools across the United States.
No gimmicks, no hassles, just the tools educators need to do their jobs.
