Location Analytics

Districts increasingly need to answer questions related to “where.” Location Analytics (formerly 5Maps) enables you to instantly gain location-based insights by adding a critical geographic dimension to your student and community data.

With Location Analytics, you can combine disparate data sources into an interactive map to quickly see patterns and trends related to capacity, equity, access, enrollment, boundaries, resource placement, and more. It's easy to create a district-wide view, and then drill-down to a neighborhood or student-specific view in just a few clicks. And unlike with other complex mapping tools, you won’t need a technical expert to use it.

1. Plan more efficiently.

   Evaluate boundaries and attendance zones to effectively determine optimal resource placement, and assess reconfiguration options as they pertain to new buildings or consolidations.
   
   Prepare for referendums, tax levy elections, tax elections, bond elections, and other voter approved decisions.

2. Respond more effectively.

   Understand internet access at the student level using FCC data so you can close the "digital divide." Assess open enrollment and choice trends, so that you can better predict funding. And more effectively respond to demographic shifts in students.

3. Communicate more clearly and transparently.

   Outline program offerings by building, enhance school board presentations, and support public forums and staff meetings with district personnel. Also, communicate choice options and school assignments to parents.
