Education
Improving Student Achievement
K-12 school districts are feeling the pressure of trying to prepare students for a global economy, often on a shoe string budget. Solutions that support teaching, accountability and alignment among all of the stakeholders are key to providing the best education possible.

Mariner's Student Achievement Products give stakeholders the ability to monitor, manage and analyze performance from the individual student all the way to the district level. We help administrators use performance management data to improve decision-making, organizational learning and accountability.

  • PreK-Workforce Student Longitudinal Data Systems (SLDS) to track students, how well they learn and how prepared they are for the workforce.
  • Public-facing District Dashboard to communicate student achievement and district goals to all constituents, while maintaining the privacy of individual students.
  • District Portals for Superintendents, Principals & Teachers to understand how well individual and groups of students are doing to enable them to reach their full potential by applying the right resources and programs.
  • District Strategic Planning Application to ensure that all schools are establishing, achieving, and aligning goals with the overall district strategy.
  • School Improvement Planning Application to establish a cycle of continuous for each school.
