Student Assignment
A first-of-its-kind tool for School Districts looking to adjust their student assignment system. Districts often shift neighborhood school boundaries or change school choice policies without a full understanding of the equity and financial implications of these decisions. Our Student Assignment product accounts for public policy and community-based priorities and produces multiple assignment models for discussion that optimize for these and other criteria.
Our Student Assignment product features:
- An analytics approach to a public policy problem
- Ability to rebalance demographics and economic disparity within schools districts while controlling for transportation cost and parent satisfaction
- Multi objective optimization:
- Equity
- Home-to-school distance
- Savings
- Parents satisfaction
- Other district-established priorities
- Extensive consulting support from practitioners who have experienced district-wide changes to student assignment
- Multiple tradeoff scenarios for discussions with community
- Potential for additional, significant reduction in the number of routes if combined with Multi-School Bus Routing
