OUR MISSION

We make complex post-secondary data easy to understand so that administrators, educators, and advisors have the insights they need to close equity gaps among student populations and increase college access and success for every student.

Insight: GuidEd Insight combines National Student Clearinghouse StudentTracker® data with your existing student data to quickly generate actionable insights. We designed our dashboard for efficiency and ease so you can quickly view research-based, standardized metrics, establish benchmarks, segment data, and identify equity gaps by demographic, program, institution and more.
Equity: We created GuidEd Insight with the mission to uplift students. Postsecondary enrollment is just the start. Our tool is designed to help you see the trends and patterns facing students of color, first-generation students, and students impacted by poverty so you can connect them with the resources they need for support and success. College selection insights, for example, highlight which colleges have best supported your students historically so you can connect students with postsecondary institutions and training opportunities that will meet their needs for long-term success.
Action: Turning information into action happens efficiently with GuidEd Insight because we designed each feature to be sophisticated yet simple to use. Our leading-edge technology blends information and design so you can seamlessly filter and cross-reference data to identify gaps and opportunities for students and make recommendations that change the trajectory of their educational careers. Understanding the data helps you guide students on their postsecondary journeys.

OUR PURPOSE

GuidEd Insight is focused on increasing college access and success by identifying equity gaps in education. Our application gives states, school districts, schools and community-focused organizations the insight they need to give students their best shot at success after graduating high school. We utilize national standards, student demographics, and critical environmental factors to provide insight into outcomes. These insights help advisors support students and administrators to plan effectively and report outcomes.

We take informed risks and learn from our successes and setbacks. We rely on our extensive customer base and large network of partners to help us hone the insights our application provides.
