Introducing the RISE Data Hub

We believe data access is imperative to advance our student impact and equity goals. Six years ago, RISE released Tableau-based data dashboards, providing educators with secure and real-time data to support their work with students. These tools generated new insights and visibility and supported a data-driven culture among RISE partners. Building on this momentum, educators began asking for new features and data tools. For example, educators wanted to be able to download lists and input notes or interventions. These needs prompted the RISE Data Team to pursue the next generation of custom-built data tools, and we launched the RISE Data Hub in fall 2022.

The Hub currently serves over 1,800 educators in 15 schools across eight districts. Similar to past data tools, the Hub was envisioned and developed in close collaboration with educators. Grade 9 teams now use the Hub to identify students who might need additional support in specific areas to stay on-track toward graduation. Counselors access the Hub to understand students’ postsecondary plans and support their completion of key access milestones like the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and applications. This powerful new data platform allows educators to:

• Manage lists, tables, and charts across aggregate, classroom, and student levels

• View integrated data from the SIS, Naviance, College Board, student surveys, and more

• Leverage a pre-designed strategic data calendar to guide analysis and response

• Download student profiles to guide on-track conferences and other interventions

Use of the Hub and related strategies empowers educators to drive results, promoting on-track achievement and postsecondary success for all students. In just the past year, we have already seen record student success with double-digit gains in on-track and graduation rates!

What Educators are Saying

"The Hub just makes my job easier."

“We used to work in spreadsheets and everyone had their own, and now everyone is in the Hub every day... It’s changed conversations with students.”

“Having access to the Hub just allows me to have more time to engage with the student and less time pulling the data. That’s valuable because every second counts.”

“Seeing our percentages go up this year — I think it’s just a testament to the tool.”

“I was going to many different locations and then trying to bring all of that information together sometimes was cumbersome. It’s been very streamlined to use the Hub; it does make our work very effective and data-driven, which is very great.”

“Whether we’re looking at our Grade 9 students and their on-track status, our upperclassmen and their preparation for their postsecondary planning, the Hub has everything there. It helps us with not only tracking data and looking at the progress and the success of our students… It helps us to be proactive.”
