The data comes from standardized testing companies as Excel files, and merging these data sources is error-prone. Additionally, the data in the student information system is manually entered by hundreds of teachers, leading to data quality issues. Without addressing these challenges, teachers would lack the information needed to develop interventions for students, and the school couldn't allocate financial resources effectively.
