LinkIt: Notable Gaps

Both Abre and LinkIt handle K-12 data collection and analytics — so what can Abre do that LinkIt can’t?

Cost Savings

Where LinkIt falls short:

LinkIt relies on integrations for data collection, meaning you still need to keep all your licenses for additional platforms for things like behavior tracking, assessment scores, attendance, and wellness to collect the data in the first place.

How Abre saves costs:

Abre centralizes all your data in one place and works as a partner to build dashboards customized to your needs. You can consolidate your EdTech as well as see the impact of your tools, resources, and interventions without the hours of manual data manipulation. With the ability to collect academic, wellness, and additional K-12 data natively, schools that switch to Abre report saving over $850k.

Family Engagement

Where LinkIt falls short:

Both LinkIt and Abre streamline data collection, but LinkIt isn’t designed to meaningfully engage your learning community. Limited access to data makes it harder for stakeholders like families to see how their child is doing and understand their role in helping them succeed.

How Abre engages families:

Abre helps turn families into partners with timely transparency into their child’s success via the Student360™ and the ability to take action to improve outcomes.

Career and Technical Education

Where LinkIt falls short:

LinkIt’s lack of access for community partners means it’s difficult to track and benchmark student progress with work-based learning organizations.

How Abre empowers CTE education:

With Abre, districts can see the full picture of a CTE program and student progress through student portfolios. Portfolios are central to our Student Success (sometimes called “Portrait of a Graduate”) framework. District leaders can also create CTE-specific plans to help students achieve their goals and graduate with the tools necessary for CTE programs.

Strategic Planning

Where LinkIt falls short:

LinkIt allows districts to build dashboards for strategic goals and track progress, but offers few added tools to execute strategic goals by taking action and evaluating what’s working within the same platform.

How Abre helps you achieve your strategic plan

Abre not only gives K-12 leaders custom strategic dashboards to create and monitor progress towards district goals, but a suite of features for streamlined execution such as curriculum management, student performance tracking, behavior management, community partner management, and more.

Data-as-a-Service

Where LinkIt falls short

LinkIt is consistently criticized for its limited user-friendliness and inconsistent customer support. This adds unnecessary frustration for busy teachers and administrators who lack time for extensive training or long support calls.

Abre’s Data-as-a-Service

Abre wants you to be able to focus on students, not on complex dashboard building. You tell us what you want to see and how you want to see it, and our team of school data experts will build your dashboards for you, and help you understand and interpret the data when you have questions.
