For school districts with multiple schools and large student body, we have education analytics and business intelligence software called openIntel.

Once you implement openSIS, you can implement openIntel to sit on top of it and perform predictive analytics. You can predict if your schools are going to meet the AYP. You can see which students are at risk and take action, etc.
