Product Details

Overview

Schoolzilla is Renaissance's K–12 data warehouse and dashboard platform. It brings information from SIS, assessment, attendance, behavior, and other district systems into role-based views so leaders and educators can monitor performance, compare student groups, identify students needing support, and follow progress over time.

Schoolzilla includes managed data connections, standardized metrics, interactive dashboards, student profiles, and configurable analysis. Renaissance has also used the Schoolzilla technology in Renaissance Analytics and product-level dashboards, so districts should confirm whether their agreement is Schoolzilla Pro, Renaissance Analytics, or analytics bundled with other Renaissance products.

SCHOOLZILLA, INC. was founded in 2011 and is based in Oakland, California.
 
Unlike most education companies, Schoolzilla was forged within a school system. They spent five years as part of Aspire Public Schools – one of the nation’s top performing school systems serving low-income communities – closely collaborating with educators to “solve the data problem.” They iterated until the teachers and administrators told Schoolzilla that they got it right, and in the process, a best-in-class data warehousing, analytics and reporting solution for K-12 was built.
 
Word of their success spread, and Schoolzilla kept getting requests to share the best practices and technology they developed with other school systems. They heard the call, and in early 2013, Schoolzilla spun out of Aspire to become an independent, mission-driven organization. Since then, they’ve helped thousands of teachers, leaders and data analysts save time, gain critical insight and leverage all their data to drive action and change students’ lives.
