Five-Star Student Data Analysis & Staff Evaluation Solution (SDA)

School decision making, based on student test data, is more important today than ever before!  K-12 schools are under pressure to increase student test scores to ensure state compliancy, improve student success, strengthen the ability to compete with other schools, and boost parental and community support.  However, the ability to analyze key information to aide in the decision making process can be time consuming, costly, and overwhelming.  The Five-Star Student Data Analysis and Staff Evaluation solution was developed by K-12 educators to provide schools with easy-to-use and cost effective tools that help quickly and accurately collect and analyze both student and staff data. 

Data Warehouse
Our powerful data warehouse allows you to store, access, and analyze all state and nationwide assessment data easily with true longitudinal analysis. 

Staff Evaluation Tool
The integrated Staff Evaluation Tool (SET) is tablet friendly and allows you to easily and accurately evaluate school district personnel in alignment with state adopted staff evaluation models.  In addition, your school district can fully customize the tool for your own evaluation criteria.

Daily Assessments
Provide your teachers the ability to assess students easily in the classroom with daily assessments aligned with state standards.  Assessments are graded automatically with results instantly available for side-by-side analysis with all test data in the system.

Data Management Service
The complimentary Data Management Service (DMS) provides a quick and simple installation so your school district is functional in minutes.  We do all the setup and data import work for you, which eliminates system setup and maintenance tasks for school staff.

Easy To Use & Web-Based
Provides test comparisons, multiple sorting and filtering options, and the ability to see data from the district level down to an individual student from any device with a web browser.

System Hosting & Backup
Your student data analysis and staff evaluation system is hosted on our server, for no additional cost, and is automatically backed up daily for peace of mind.

Longitudinal Analysis
Compare data from multiple tests, and multiple school years, across an individual student or a group of students to discover testing patterns or lack of consistency between test providers.  Analyze results side-by-side immediately with all test data in the system.

Unlimited User Access
There are no restrictions on the number of users who can simultaneously access the system.

LDAP Authentication
The system integrates with your existing Microsoft or Novell network to maintain consistent user names and passwords for all users while minimizing system administration. 

Visual Analysis & Fast Decision Making
Analyze critical information visually to quickly pinpoint areas or matters needing attention.

Multi-Sorting Options
Sort test data and create reports by numerous available fields such as school year, teacher, socioeconomic status, school building, etc.

Powerful Reporting
Export test data reports in .pdf format, or save in Excel format for raw test score information and additional data manipulation.  In addition, built in parent teacher conference reports makes meeting communication simple and quick!

We really enjoy using the Student Data Analysis (SDA) system.  The system is extremely simple to use and puts the data right where it belongs - in front of our teachers in an easy and understandable format.  We get a much more in-depth view of our student data than a state provided tool.  When classroom decisions, or building decisions, have to be made using the SDA system is the first place we go!  SDA is quick, easy, understandable, clear, concise, and valuable!  Plus you get the award winning support from the great folks at Five-Star Technology Solutions.  They truly understand schools and will do their best to build, develop, and support this fine product and solution!
