K-12 Data-as-a-Service (Daas) solutions allow you and your staff to breathe a sigh of relief. They don’t just provide dashboards, they set you on a path to success when it comes to understanding what’s working and what’s not within your district.
Performance Matters does not offer DaaS, so you will likely get stuck at frequent moments in your data journey. You’ll spend more time wrestling with the data and trying to make it fit within platform needs providing you less time taking actionable steps that support student success.
Abre invented DaaS for K-12. As your partner, Abre guides you through developing a solid foundation for your K-12 data and building upon each step to take it to the next level—in a manageable, sustainable way. Abre does the heavy lifting of consolidating your data and making it usable. No matter how messy or raw the data file is, we create formats and data visualizations that are easy to share and understand. You’ll have more capacity to focus on what matters most: your students.
Performance Matters only provides dashboards and login access to staff and admin, while Abre offers access to ALL stakeholders—admin, staff, families, students, and community partners. Unsupported stakeholders cause major disconnects and does not allow the entire learning community to stay informed on students’ progress and support the Whole Child.
Additionally, Abre users utilize a single sign on link for login while Performance Matters users have separate links, potentially leading to confusion.
Performance Matters users have reported that the platform is not user-friendly and can be glitchy.
Abre was designed to be an extension of Google for Education, and you’ll find the user experience to be intuitive like Google. With one product for the entire process, getting to actionable data becomes a seamless experience.
Performance Matters does not provide dedicated dashboards for different stakeholders. In fact, many key stakeholders—such as families, students, and community partners—have no access to Performance Matters at all.
Abre provides tailored dashboards to each stakeholder group with views like District360, Building360, Class360, and Student360.

While Performance Matters has nice visual dashboards, they are stock dashboards—meaning, you’ll get standard dashboards like everyone else that are not tailored or personalized to your school.
Rather than providing you a menu of stock dashboards and data visualizations, our Data-as-a-Service model means Abre partners with you to understand your needs and create dashboards with the exact type of visualizations that you need. Plus, our strategic consultants are experts and former educators. We’ll help you through the entire process and leverage our experience with hundreds of schools across the country.
Performance Matters does not allow districts to define “at-risk” students on their own terms. Users a limited in how they set parameters related to behavior data.
Abre recognizes that “at-risk” students is not a one-size-fits-all definition, and it’s up to the district to define what constitutes an at-risk student. With Abre, districts can track all behavior and academic data points, and give them the agency to define it for themselves.
