What is our district’s current chronic absenteeism rate? How many middle schoolers, currently enrolled in our district, are in an English Language Learner program—and what are their reading assessment scores? How did third graders perform on their fall benchmark assessments compared to last year?  

Each of these questions can consume hours of staff time—requiring effort to connect data across systems, calculate key metrics, and present findings. Podium streamlines this process with intuitive dashboards that empower school and district leaders to find answers in minutes, freeing up valuable time to focus on planning and implementing student supports.

While the questions encountered across different districts are similar, the intricacies and rules behind the answers can vary significantly. Podium’s dashboards offer customizable configurations, ensuring that metrics align with the specific context of your district or state.

Podium dashboards include: 

• Insights on chronic absence so educators can identify which groups and students are at risk for targeted interventions

Behavior and discipline data that can be analyzed by a range of student attributes to ensure equity

Current enrollment data at a glance for evaluating enrollment trends and identifying new or withdrawn students

A variety of profile dashboards that provide a high-level summary across data domains

Podium is built on the Ed-Fi data standard, leveraging data sourced from Stadium, another EA-hosted product. Ed-Fi enables education agencies to bring their operational data from different sources together and Stadium formats that operational data for analytics and research.
