The Big Picture: Enrollment, Persistence, & Completion.

Stop guessing if your strategic initiatives are working. The Student Success report provides a longitudinal view of your graduates’ outcomes. Move beyond simple “college-going rates” to understand how many students persist to year two and completion rates over 6+ years.

Feature Highlights:

• Equity Lenses: Instantly disaggregate data by race, gender, income, and special program participation to visualize opportunity gaps.
• Trend Analysis: Compare graduating cohorts side-by-year to measure improvement over time.
• Interactive Metrics: Toggle between 2-year and 4-year institutions, public vs. private, and in-state vs. out-of-state enrollment.

Measure the Effectiveness of Your Interventions.

Your district invests in programs designed to prepare students for the future—AVID, AP, IB, Dual Credit, CTE, and more. But do those programs lead to postsecondary success? The Program Impact report correlates specific student participation with long-term outcomes.

Feature Highlights:

• Custom Tags: Upload up to 10 customizable “Student Attributes” (e.g., “Completed FAFSA,” “Took Algebra in 9th Grade”) to analyze specific variables.
• Gap Analysis: Compare outcomes of program participants against non-participants within similar demographic groups.
• Resource Allocation: Use data to determine which programs yield the highest persistence and completion rates to guide funding decisions.

The Individual Path: A Visual Timeline.

Raw NSC data files are famously difficult to read—rows of codes, dates, and separate records. The Student Journey report transforms that messy data into a clean, visual timeline for every single student.

Feature Highlights:

• Visual Pathways: See a clear color-coded timeline: Blue (Enrolled), Orange (Not Enrolled/Stopped Out), Dark Blue (Graduated).
• Contextual Details: Hover over any term to see specific college names, enrollment intensity (full-time vs. part-time), and majors.
• Search & Filter: Quickly look up a specific student by name to support individual alumni advising conversations.

Actionable Lists to Prevent “Summer Melt.”

Data is only useful if it leads to action. The Outreach Insights report is designed to identify students who need support right now. Whether you are a district counselor or a Community Based Organization (CBO) partner, this tool helps you triage your caseload.

Feature Highlights:

• Targeted Lists: Generate contact lists for specific groups (e.g., “Class of 2024 graduates who have not yet enrolled”) to prioritize phone calls and mentorship outreach.
• Stop-Out Alerts: Identify students who were enrolled but did not return for the current term.
• Summer Melt: Spot students who graduated high school with a plan but have no enrollment record in the fall.

Advising Based on Historical Fit.

Help students build college lists based on real data, not just general reputation. The College Selection report answers a critical question: “Where do students like mine actually succeed?”

Feature Highlights:

• Institutional Success Rates: See retention and completion rates for your graduates at specific colleges and universities.
• Demographic Matching: Filter by student demographics to see, for example, which colleges have the best track record supporting your Latino or First-Generation graduates.
• Contextual Data: The report pulls in public IPEDS data (cost, size, graduation rates) alongside your local data for a complete picture of “College Fit.”
