Unfortunately too many school districts don't have access to their students' data, their data is disseminated in silos dinosaur databases often managed by uninspired LEA staff who care more about their job security than the students' future... and so no big picture is possible even though the solutions exist in this day and age of cloud computing. Antique SISs vendors also block the way at the state level (with state report cards) for any kind of innovation.
