Every day, your district collects thousands of valuable data points. What if there was a tool that could analyze this data and transform mere numbers into clear visualizations and actionable insights?

Meet DistrictPulse, an educational data analytics tool developed by Skyward in partnership with Amazon Web Services using QuickSight technology. Attendees at iCon 2025 got the first glimpse of this new software, our biggest product announcement since Qmlativ!

We've spent the last year collaborating with AWS to create a tool that is both powerful and easy to use. With DistrictPulse, you can:

  • Identify schools with the highest needs and direct funds and resources accordingly
  • Use trends to forecast future needs, set long-term goals, and make data-driven academic decisions
  • Identify students who could benefit from additional academic or behavioral support
  • Recognize professional development opportunities for teachers based on performance data and student outcomes
  • Identify areas where students are struggling and implement targeted interventions
  • Create reports and visualizations that communicate data insights to other stakeholders
... and so much more!

With DistrictPulse, you’ll spend less time wrangling numbers and more time improving outcomes. Plus, it’s integrated with the Qmlativ Student Management Suite, so data will only be accessible to authorized users, and you'll never need to share your data with third-party solutions.

Note: DistrictPulse will begin supporting ERP data soon. Stay tuned for updates! 
 

"I am super excited about the potential of DistrictPulse. As a Skyward product, the seamless data integration will significantly reduce concerns regarding data accuracy. DistrictPulse analytics will provide opportunities for our continuous growth and play a significant role in our strategic plan. This solution could serve as an excellent replacement for another subscription we currently use. I look forward to seeing the final product and hope to add DistrictPulse to our suite of Skyward solutions."
- Liz Boyles, Director of Information Services at Troy CCSD 30C
