About Us

Today, state and local education agencies are looking to use comprehensive longitudinal data to better understand the effectiveness of their programs and their teachers. The federal government through initiatives such as No Child Left Behind is using data to understand how well states, local districts and local schools are doing in meeting various education goals. In addition, more and more parents are looking to use data to monitor and help their children progress towards their educational goals. For each of these groups, the key is having access to clean, comprehensive, and integrated longitudinal data. To create this high quality, accessible data environment presents a number of technology and organizational challenges for districts, states and educators.

"With our experience in applying data warehousing and business intelligence technologies to the data challenges faced by Fortune 100 companies, we knew that applying sound data warehousing techniques and technologies could address similar challenges being faced by educators.  Our goal in founding eScholar was to introduce comprehensive data management and data warehouse solutions that could enable educators, parents and students to leverage data to enhance educational experience for everyone." - Shawn Bay, eScholar Founder and CEO
