SIS Data Format

To ensure Equity Analytics processes your Student Information System (SIS) data correctly, all uploaded files must meet our standard format requirements. This allows the platform to align your student, staff, and school data for accurate reporting and accountability calculations.


Required File Names and Formats

All SIS data files must be in CSV format (.csv) and named exactly as listed below.

File names must exactly match the list below. If the file name is different the system will reject the upload.

Our team can guide you or coordinate directly with your district technology staff to ensure files are prepared in the correct format.


Automating Your SIS Data Uploads

For districts looking to streamline this process, Equity Analytics supports nightly automated uploads via our API.

With API integration, your SIS data can be securely transmitted each night without manual uploads. This keeps your dashboards, reports, and accountability metrics up to date.


Accurate SIS data is the foundation for reliable insights. Keeping it current ensures Equity Analytics reflects the most recent student performance information.
