The system maintains a complete profile of each student's individual strengths and needs, and it reports on student growth with each successive administration of assessments.

Educators can use the system to identify students who are are working below, on or above grade level, and they can monitor student data at the district, school or grade level. According to information the company's site, educators can also use the system to measure real-time progress by skill, view insights based on "national norming data" and use "simple visualization tools to communicate with stakeholders."
