Cost Savings
Why Performance Matters can’t save costs:
With Performance Matters, you’ll still need 8+ additional K-12 licenses and extra staff to manage data across platforms. It also doesn’t offer insights into how your broader student investments are paying off beyond assessments.
How Abre saves costs:
Abre simplifies assessment rollouts like Performance Matters but includes 20+ extra features. Schools report saving over $300k in tech and $850k in staffing annually after switching to Abre, which also provides admins with insights for smarter resource allocation.
Early Warning
Why Performance Matters can’t spot struggling students early:
Performance Matters spots struggling students through assessment data but lacks tools to catch academic, emotional, or behavioral issues beforehand. It doesn’t provide the broader criteria needed for early intervention.
How Abre spots struggling students early
Abre’s K-12 early warning system consolidates all student data into a centralized hub, expands the criteria beyond traditional metrics like attendance and grades, and allows for customized parameters and alerts to meet the specific needs of different districts.
Chronic Absenteeism
Why Performance Matters can’t lower chronic absenteeism
Performance Matters primarily tracks student progress through assessments, focusing on academic performance updates rather than collecting comprehensive Whole Child data that could identify absenteeism risk factors and enable early, targeted intervention.
How Abre lowers chronic absenteeism
Abre utilizes real-time data from all sources to quickly identify students at risk of chronic absenteeism and intervene effectively. It supports targeted intervention plans, ongoing monitoring, and resource allocation, all aimed at reducing absenteeism through active engagement with students, families, and community partners.
Strategic Planning
Why Performance Matters can’t help you achieve your strategic plan
Performance Matters focuses on a narrow area of K-12 strategic planning: assessment data. With modern K-12 strategic plans involving a wider range of factors, metrics and goals, Performance Matters isn’t set up to give admins a focused look at their strategic progress.
How Abre helps you achieve your strategic plan
Abre’s platform gives districts a single source of truth to execute strategic goals. On one platform, you can set up custom data dashboards on any topic, execute strategic goals with a suite of purpose-built tools, monitor progress in real-time, and make adjustments to ensure goals are accomplished.
K-12 Data and Insights
Why Performance Matters can’t help you answer your biggest questions
Performance Matters can answer questions about assessment data, but doesn’t provide a comprehensive view on grades, investment impacts, and student wellbeing, limiting its usefulness in broader K-12 data intelligence.
How Abre helps you answer your biggest questions
Abre’s K-12 data intelligence uniquely integrates and reports real-time, comprehensive data across academic, behavioral, and wellness aspects on a single platform, enabling schools to make informed, timely decisions that improve student outcomes.
