Configurable assessment management at scale
Performance Matters centralizes the creation, administration, and evaluation of both local and third‑party assessments. Districts get a consistent, governed process instead of scattered spreadsheets and ad hoc tools, which is critical when you’re standardizing assessment practices across multiple schools and programs.
Discount impact
Reduces manual assessment overhead, cuts errors, and shortens turnaround times from test design to results, enabling instructional teams to focus their time on remediation and enrichment rather than logistics.
Robust reporting and performance analytics
The platform surfaces key metrics across students, classes, schools, and assessments through configurable reports and analytics. Education leaders gain a single view of performance trends, helping them quickly identify gaps, monitor interventions, and communicate outcomes to stakeholders with data rather than intuition.
Discount impact
Improves decision quality for academic leaders, supports data‑driven budgeting and staffing, and enables earlier, targeted interventions that protect student outcomes and district accountability metrics.
Automated scoring and result calculation
Built‑in scoring automates calculation of assessment results immediately after completion. This reduces the need for manual grading for supported item types and ensures consistent scoring logic across the district, which is especially important for benchmarking and high‑stakes progress monitoring.
Discount impact
Speeds up feedback loops to teachers and students, decreases grading workload, and provides timely, trusted performance data that can directly inform instruction in the same week assessments are delivered.
Custom test and quiz creation
Educators can design custom tests and quizzes aligned to local curriculum and standards, not just off‑the‑shelf content. This flexibility lets districts mirror their actual scope and sequence, creating assessments that more accurately measure what is being taught in each course or grade level.
Discount impact
Improves alignment between instruction and assessment, increasing the relevance of results and helping districts prove instructional efficacy to boards and communities using data that reflects their own curriculum.
Integrated support for staff growth tracking
As part of PowerSchool’s personalized learning ecosystem, Performance Matters supports ongoing staff development by aligning assessments and analytics with professional growth goals. Leaders can track how instructional practices and PD initiatives correlate with student performance over time.
Discount impact
Connects investment in professional development to measurable student outcomes, supporting better PD prioritization, stronger accountability for initiatives, and more strategic allocation of limited instructional improvement budgets.
