Time and Fragmented Systems Are Key Barriers to Using Data Effectively\u00a0to Engage Families and Support Students<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ridgeland, Mississippi, October 24, 2024<\/strong> \u2014 <\/strong>SchoolStatus<\/a>, a leading provider of K-12 family engagement, school communications, and attendance solutions, today released findings from a national survey of 1,020 K-12 educators and administrators. The survey revealed that half of respondents struggle to access necessary student data<\/strong>, with 86% noting that data gaps limit their ability to support academic success and attendance<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The majority of respondents (90%) believe school-family communication is important for achieving student success, but many struggle with issues like inconsistent communication tools, data access gaps, and family disengagement. To address these issues, educators advocate for translation services or tools (42%) and AI-driven solutions (26%) to enhance communication and reduce absenteeism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese findings underscore the importance of timely, comprehensive student information in helping educators provide the support students need,\u201d said Juan Duenas, M.Ed., Assistant Superintendent of Educational Services, Sheldon Independent School District. \u201cWith the right tools and unified systems, we can better understand each student\u2019s needs, collaborate more closely with families, and make data-driven decisions that truly impact student success.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
