Mission

Schools need quality data to work effectively, think strategically, and deliver a high-quality education to all students. For too many districts, managing their data feels like a never-ending struggle. Everything from student athletics, meals programs, bus-routing, and annual funding depend on accurate data. Trying to manage thousands of records for staff and students by hand takes a lot of valuable time that could be better used on any number of projects. Level Data was started with the vision of providing relief to the data-handling headaches facing districts of all sizes. Since our founding, nearly 1,000 districts across the United States have used Level Data solutions to overhaul their data quality, streamline user account provisioning, automate data-sharing, and maximize revenue opportunities. When schools can leverage technology to get ahead, school system staff can focus on strategic goals and spend more time focusing on what matters most - their students.
