Edia — AI Platform for K–12 Education

Edia is a leading AI platform designed to help K–12 school districts improve student outcomes by addressing attendance, math performance, and Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS). Edia combines AI analytics, data integration, and communication tools to help K–12 districts proactively address student needs, improve attendance, and enhance academic outcomes.

  • Read More

    Overview

    Founded in 2020 by top engineers from Silicon Valley, Edia supports 200+ school districts across the U.S., from large urban systems like NYC, San Francisco, and Denver to remote rural schools in Alaska accessible only by seaplane or boat. The company’s mission is to ensure every student has an exceptional school experience.

    Core Capabilities

    AI-Driven Attendance Insights: Identifies patterns in absences, flags transportation barriers, and suggests targeted interventions. For example, Edia can pinpoint bus route gaps and recommend adding stops to reach students who miss early buses.

    Math Performance Support: Integrates with math curricula and assessments to track progress and tailor interventions.

    MTSS Integration: Helps districts implement and monitor multi-tiered support systems for students with diverse needs.

    Two-Way Communication: Offers AI chat tools for educators to connect with families, improving engagement and response times.

    How It Works

    Edia pulls data from multiple sources — student information systems (SIS), learning management systems (LMS), attendance logs, and more — to generate actionable insights. It can:

    Highlight at-risk students early.

    Suggest personalized interventions.

    Provide district-level dashboards for monitoring trends and outcomes.

    Impact

    School leaders report measurable improvements, such as 7% higher first-semester passing rates after implementing Edia’s tools. Educators praise its ability to close the “day a student is absent is a day of learning we can’t get back” gap by enabling real-time, targeted support.

ParentSquare

ParentSquare is dedicated to helping schools build stronger connections with families and improve student outcomes through effective, accessible communication.


With ParentSquare Attendance Plus, districts can turn family engagement into attendance improvement by identifying at-risk students earlier, streamlining attendance interventions, and giving families an easy way to communicate directly with their schools.

  • Read More

    Overview

    Attendance Plus provides proactive, tier-based outreach to help schools connect with students and families before attendance concerns become chronic. Automated compliance workflows help districts generate truancy letters and maintain audit trails based on their own attendance thresholds and processes, while two-way family communication allows families to respond to attendance notices in their preferred language.


    By bringing attendance outreach, intervention, compliance, and family communication together on a platform families already use and trust, ParentSquare helps districts save staff time while building a stronger culture around the importance of showing up to school.
