New Academic Tracking System for Calabasas Schoolchildren

Starting this fall, Las Virgenes Unified School District will implement a new academic tracking system for students.

The new system, known as Datawise, puts all student test score information into one digital file that is viewable to teachers, administrators and parents.

“Datawise expands our ability to collect and analyze not only STAR scores, but also teacher-generated formative assessments and publisher-generated benchmark assessments,” Mary Schillinger, assistant superintendent of education, said in the news release. “This will provide ongoing information for teachers to use in planning.”

Redding, CA-based Datawise’s system is already being used by some California campuses such as Amelia Earhart School in Alameda.
