Simplify's take

What believers are saying

  • The October 20, 2026 WSIPC deal opens Panorama to eligible Washington districts.
  • Class Companion and Solara expand AI usage after the April 23, 2025 acquisition.
  • Mesquite ISD cut IEP drafting to 45 minutes, proving clear ROI for special education teams.

What critics are saying

  • K-12 AI trust failure would damage Panorama's brand and stall Solara adoption quickly.
  • District procurement remains slow; WSIPC and Skyward integration still depends on long sales cycles.
  • Competitors bundling SIS and AI, including Skyward and PowerSchool, can compress margins by 2027.

What makes Panorama Education unique

  • Its platform spans 2,000 districts and 15 million students, creating sticky workflow depth.

Panorama for Skyward now available to eligible Washington School districts through WSIPC.

Panorama for Skyward now available to eligible Washington School districts through WSIPC. Oct 20, 26 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Date: October 20, 2026 New offering makes Panorama Education's MTSS, survey, and AI-powered student-support tools available to eligible Washington districts through WSIPC's existing Skyward agreement. EVERETT, Wash. - October 20, 2026 - The Washington School Information Processing Cooperative (WSIPC) and Skyward(TM) are expanding the solutions available to Washington school districts with Panorama for Skyward, a new product offering that allows eligible districts to purchase Panorama Education's student support platform through WSIPC. It is an additional product purchase that can be added to a district's existing Skyward agreement. Through Panorama for Skyward, participating districts can use designated student data already maintained in Skyward within Panorama's platform, which connects MTSS, surveys, and secure, district-aligned AI. Panorama for Skyward brings together academic, attendance, behavior, intervention, and other student information in one place, giving districts a more complete picture of student needs, so they can easily identify where support is needed, coordinate interventions, and track progress over time. North Kitsap School District, which already uses Panorama alongside Skyward, has experienced the value of bringing the two systems together and sees an opportunity to extend those benefits to more Washington districts. "Panorama has become an essential part of how North Kitsap School District strives to ensure every student receives the appropriate support for their unique needs," said Dr. Jeremy Sullivan, Director of Innovative Learning and Student Supports. "By bringing meaningful student data together in one view, our teams can make more informed, timely decisions that strengthen our Multi-Tiered System of Supports. Panorama for Skyward can help more Washington schools turn data into meaningful action, so every student is seen, supported, and successful." Skyward remains the district's student information system and system of record. Panorama for Skyward is an integrated platform that works alongside Skyward, using designated Skyward data within Panorama's student support tools. WSIPC provides the Cooperative purchasing and contractual pathway for eligible Washington districts. "One of our strategic pillars is ensuring client success," said Dr. Dana Anderson, CEO of WSIPC. "When districts identify shared needs, we look for tools and resources that can help address them. Our districts have been clear about the need to strengthen MTSS practices and better support student learning and opportunity. Panorama for Skyward gives districts another option to help meet that need." The offering comes as Washington school districts continue strengthening MTSS practices, intervention tracking, and student support systems while preparing for evolving state expectations. "Through our partnerships with Washington districts, we've seen firsthand the incredible work educators are doing to make sure every student gets the support and services they need," said Aaron Feuer, CEO and co-founder of Panorama Education. "We're proud to be part of that work, and we're excited to deepen our commitment to Washington alongside WSIPC and Skyward - reaching more districts and helping more students thrive." Panorama Education will lead implementation, training, and product support during the initial phase of the partnership. WSIPC, Skyward, and Panorama will work together to support Washington districts, monitor the customer experience, and develop the longer-term support model. Additional information about Panorama for Skyward, including available packages, implementation, and how WSIPC districts can learn more, will be available at https://www.panoramaed.com/partnerships/panorama-for-skyward.

Panorama Student Success earns Research-Based Learning Analytics Certification from Digital Promise.

Panorama Student Success earns Research-Based Learning Analytics Certification from Digital Promise. Panorama staff. August 4, 2026 - Panorama Education, the leading platform for student support and learning in K-12 education, has earned the Research-Based Learning Analytics: Product Certification from Digital Promise for Panorama Student Success, its leading MTSS and student support solution. Developed by the national nonprofit Digital Promise, this certification recognizes edtech products that ground how they collect, analyze, and report data in rigorous research. For school and district leaders, it offers an independent, research-based benchmark when evaluating potential platforms. More than a badge, the Research-Based Learning Analytics Certification signals that research is foundational to how a product is designed and built. Panorama Student Success brings academic, attendance, behavior, engagement, and other student data together in one shared system. With that complete picture, educators can spot needs earlier, coordinate interventions, track progress, and gauge whether supports are actually working. District leaders, in turn, gain visibility across schools - identifying trends, strengthening MTSS implementation, and directing resources where they'll have the greatest impact. Research shapes Student Success at every stage of development. Panorama's Data Science and Applied Research team continuously reviews external studies, runs original analyses on Panorama's extensive datasets, and partners with researchers and education organizations to explore emerging challenges and validate product decisions. You can see that research in action in features like Chronic Absenteeism Insights. Panorama's studies uncovered meaningful links between chronic absenteeism and student experiences, like school safety and student-teacher relationships. Student Success connects attendance data with student voice data, so educators can move beyond simply flagging absenteeism to understanding the factors that may be driving it. Through Student Success's intervention workflows, educators can build support plans using more than 1,000 research-backed strategies, document referrals, monitor progress, and collaborate with colleagues and families, all in one connected platform. AI-powered insights help surface patterns and suggest possible next steps faster, while educators remain responsible for reviewing the information and deciding the right action for each student. The Digital Promise certification reinforces Panorama's commitment to helping districts move from simply seeing student challenges to solving them. By bringing together rigorous research, complete student context, and coordinated workflows, Student Success gives educators and leaders a stronger foundation for taking timely, informed action in every school.

Districts using Solara are seeing benefits that extend well beyond efficiency. Eighty-three percent of teachers report faster lesson planning, saving an average of five hours each month.

Built with district governance in mind, Solara keeps district data within the Panorama ecosystem and does not use customer data to train AI models.
