A thematic display of information based on the geography of the District. It has been described as an ideal vehicle for policy development and to aid in understanding a school’s community profile.

Includes powerful reporting and presentation features such as the ability to create “Super Indicators” (Socio-Economic Indicators, Human Resources Indicators, Test Score Analysis, Facility Indicators, etc.).
Provides the ability to visually correlate data, such as allowing the user to relate test scores data to socio-economic indicators or to pupil absenteeism.
Identifies schools with exemplary practices in subjects, grades or both for best practices development.
