    Frequently Asked Questions

    What types of decisions can we make with Abre?

    We use a step by step approach to help you grow and improve your data in a sustainable, manageable way. In early stages of this process, you can answer questions based on single sources of data, such as “Which partner programs have the highest participation?” or “What are our assessment scores?”

    As your data gets more sophisticated, we’ll help you layer different sources to answer more complex questions like “Which students are At-Risk and why?” or “Is student wellness impacting academics?”

    With answers to these questions, you can understand what’s working and what’s not, to make more confident decisions in where you invest more resources to support student success.

    How can Abre make our data more organized?

    Abre pulls all of your data into ONE place, eliminating siloed information and allowing stakeholders to see the full picture of a student. Staff and administrators don’t need to log in to several different apps to see the different aspects of student success—it’s all in one easy-to-understand dashboard.

    How quickly and easily can we see a dashboard with our data?

    We’ll get you up and running with an actionable data dashboard within 30 days of starting with Abre.

    Who can access Abre?

    Abre’s mission is to open data and information to the WHOLE learning community. That means not only can your administration team access Abre, but so can partners, families, staff, and students—so everyone has access to the information they need to support student success.

    How much change management is involved?

    Access and permissions are customizable, so you’re in control of how and when you roll out the platform to other stakeholders. We typically work with administrators to get started and ensure they understand the system and data. Then we can work with you to help develop a smooth rollout plan to teachers, other staff members, partners, and families.

    How does Abre ensure that our students’ data is secure?

    Abre complies with FERPA, and we follow industry best practices such as:

    • Secure transit encryption of all data
    • Storage encryption of key data
    • Regular security audits
    • Store data in secure data centers

    What if my district isn't ready for Abre, but the leadership team wants to leverage data visualizations, is that possible?

    Absolutely! Indeed, we specializing in growing with districts and providing the necessary supports to best fit their needs. Starting with data visualizations is a great way to empower leadership with Abre.

    How long has Abre been around?

    Abre’s roots are with a large school in southwest Ohio. Our cofounders started the Abre platform in 2014. In 2018 we started as a company and now serve hundreds of districts globally.
