Data Warehouse

I.G.O.R . – The Kent County Data Warehouse, “Information Gathering to Obtain Results”

Kent ISD has developed a data warehouse for the purpose of improving student achievement.

Data warehousing is a valuable, proven approach to providing educators at all levels of an organization with the information they need to make high impact decisions. Kent ISD has built and is operating a data warehouse that contains data from student management systems, Michigan assessment systems such as MEAP, MME, ELPA and MI-Access,  business data systems and others. Users access our secure portal via the internet to run reports and queries.

Data warehousing breaks data barriers and consolidates information from various systems.  Eighty-one public districts, charter schools and parochials across six counties are now utilizing the data warehouse to analyze data to improve classroom instruction, measure progress toward school improvement goals and assist with reporting requirements such as No Child Left Behind (NCLB).
