THE CHALLENGE
Data constraints & limited capacity hamper success.
While smart and committed education leaders do what they can with what they have, they are often:
Hamstrung by a lack of accessible, actionable data
Limited in their insights into which students need support — and what they need and when
Lacking a network of peer learning
Short on capacity and long on both internal and external pressures, many school and district leaders are unable to proactively analyze and act on data to inform strategies for their students. When this occurs, the talents of high-achieving scholars go overlooked or unrealized. All young people, but in particular students with lower incomes, deserve more opportunities to unlock their full postsecondary potential.

We understand the challenges our clients are facing, and we care deeply about the success of students nationwide.

Analyzing & Streamlining Data
UnlockED takes our partners’ education data from disparate sources and streamlines it into a visually compelling dashboard.
We review our clients’ current data practices, business rules, and conduct a root cause analysis — at a district and school level — to focus their time, effort, and resources where they will yield the greatest improvement in their practices.
We empower leadership to identify challenges across the district, track monthly progress, and prioritize district-level interventions.
We build dashboards and resources that will make data actionable for numerous audiences.
We prioritize interventions based on organizational capacity and opportunity for impact.
Convening & Training Leaders
UNLOCKED brings together people and ideas to deliver extraordinary outcomes for students.
We design and facilitate trainings with district leadership, principals, counselors, and school-based staff to build buy-in and teach teams how to use college and financial aid data and dashboards to prioritize interventions and support.
We set up monthly data reviews with school leadership to ensure they are effectively prioritizing strategies.
Creating Data Strategies & Action Plans
Unlocked builds on national best practices and Research to design customized plans.
We work with teams to design district-specific action plans. At the core of all of these strategies is a continuous improvement model — regularly evaluating the effectiveness of interventions and progress toward the goal.
“UnlockED helped us identify the need to bring together our principals to better understand their school-specific college data. Thanks to their team, we have seen the improved relationship and understanding of data across our work.”
