01 / THE SOLUTION

The K-12 reporting stack — replaced with a conversation.

Every district has 5–15 systems holding student data. Until now, answering a cross-system question meant a ticket, a queue, three CSV exports, and a VLOOKUP — and the answer arrived after the meeting. Upstart is the conversation that replaces all of that.

  • 01
    No more clunky reporting interfaces
    Ask in plain English. Get a chart, a table, and a citation in seconds. No SQL, no dashboard tool, no analyst queue.
  • 02
    Your data silos are broken down
    SIS, assessments, attendance, discipline, gradebook — one warehouse, one conversation. Cross-system questions answered in a single turn.
  • 03
    Insights from unstructured data
    IEPs, 504s, district policies, meeting notes. Ask things you literally could not ask a SQL warehouse — Upstart reads the documents too.
  • 04
    Role-based access, enforced at the database
    Principal sees their school. Teacher sees their roster. Superintendent sees aggregates. Enforced in Postgres row-level security, not the UI.

03 / UNDERSTANDS K-12

Answers from data that used to be unreachable.

Upstart speaks K-12 — chronic absenteeism, proficiency levels, IEP goals, state assessment scoring. And it derives answers from data that normally requires reading documents one by one.

DISCIPLINE

"Has this student ever been involved in a physical altercation?"
Answered instantly — instead of reading 20 separate write-ups.

IEPs · ON THE ROADMAP

"What are my three most common IEP goals?"
"Summarize the accommodations for my classroom."
Document intelligence for IEP/504 files, with a dedicated audit trail.

BEYOND THE SIS

"Show me reading-screener results next to state-assessment trends."
Assessment or screener data outside your SIS? We integrate it into your warehouse so you can query it alongside everything else.
04 / SECURITY

We did the privacy work so you don’t have to think about it.

Every architectural decision was made before we wrote a single line of product code. The security page documents it line by line.

01
Zero AI trainingStudent data is never used to train AI models. AWS Bedrock processes each request and immediately discards it — nothing is retained, and Anthropic (the model maker) never receives or sees the data.
02
Five-layer defenseSchema filter · query validation · access injection · row-level security · post-processing.
03
Per-district keysOn offboarding the key is destroyed — the data becomes mathematically unrecoverable.
04
Immutable audit trailEvery query logged. WORM storage, 7 years. Even our engineers can’t alter it.
05
Two subprocessorsAWS (hosting + AI) and Ednition (SIS pipeline). Five-business-day advance notice for any change.
Built on the standards you already use.
OneRoster v1.1 for rostering, Ed-Fi UDM v6 for everything else — the same standards your state reporting already uses. Connected through Ednition; no new schema to map to.
