ePrincipal

ePrincipal is a software program that allows analysis of information to be observed.  The information is used to calculate the achievement of students in a school.  The schools can be on either a single school, or even the whole district of schools.  The program allows data to  be imported into it and then it provides reports and statistics from the entire population of reported students.  Data can be loaded from any source, and this includes report cards. 

There are many key features that the ePrincipal is capable of doing.  It can load data from different sources.  This includes data from individual students.  ePrincipal also figures out the results from test data that was entered. 

After Information has been imported into the ePrincipal, it can do a lot of things with this information.  It can configure the entire school achievement results from report cards, or tests.  It can calculate averages, honor roll, and subject results.  The ePrincipal can even figure student averages.  It can configure reports based on many different factors, including age, gender, grade, etc. The ePrincipal cannot only configure results within one school, but averages among whole districts.  Along with this, the ePrincipal can also graph the results that it finds.  

This program can also be transferred to a handheld device.  All of this information that is stored on a desktop can now be on the go.  An administrator can take the test results from one school to the next, or anywhere that they wish to go.
