Performance Matters

Product Details

Overview

PowerSchool Performance Matters is a K–12 assessment and instructional analytics platform. Educators create or select standards-aligned items, administer online or paper assessments, score student work, and analyze results by item, standard, class, school, subgroup, or student.

The platform can place local assessment results beside state tests, diagnostics, attendance, behavior, grades, and other measures to provide a broader view of student performance. Its primary purpose is assessment management and instructional decision-making rather than enterprise data warehousing, so it overlaps the Assessment category as much as Data and Analytics.

  • Provides real-time administration status and immediate results where scoring permits.
Instructional analytics
  • Reports performance by item, distractor, standard, student, class, school, district, and subgroup.
  • Supports gap analysis, growth review, student grouping, and targeted remediation.
Connected measures
  • Combines local assessments with state, diagnostic, attendance, behavior, grade, and SEL information where configured.
  • Connects with PowerSchool SIS, Schoology, and PowerSchool's broader data environment according to district licensing.
