Panorama Education provides a data analytics platform for schools that focuses on improving student outcomes through social-emotional learning (SEL) and Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS). The platform collects and analyzes data on student performance (attendance, behavior, grades) and measures SEL indicators such as how students feel in terms of being loved, challenged, and prepared. It then provides analytics and tools that help educators develop tailored interventions and support strategies. The product is designed for B2B sales to districts and schools and emphasizes professionalism and responsiveness in its service. Panorama’s goal is to help schools make data-informed decisions to better meet students’ social, emotional, and academic needs.

Panorama Education launches AI-powered assignment tutor and career exploration tool for K-12 students

Panorama Education has expanded its K-12 platform with two AI-powered tools: an assignment tutor called Ditto that provides real-time, rubric-aligned academic support, and CTE Pathfinder for career exploration and graduation tracking. Both feature enterprise-grade privacy controls. The company cites research showing over a third of 11th graders report minimal career conversations at school, with less than half confident their coursework prepares them for future goals. Ditto offers skill-building feedback whilst allowing teachers to review student-AI interactions. CTE Pathfinder helps students discover career pathways aligned to their coursework and interests, whilst providing educators with aggregated insights for advising. Panorama serves 15 million students across 2,000 districts. The platform complies with FERPA, PPRA and COPPA standards, and recently earned Common Sense Media's Privacy Seal with a 93% rating.

Panorama Earns Top Privacy Rating from Common Sense

Panorama earns top privacy rating from Common Sense. Sam deflitch. At Panorama, protecting student and educator data has always been foundational to its work. Schools trust Panorama Education, LLC with sensitive information every day, and Panorama Education, LLC take that responsibility seriously, building privacy and security into the core of its platform from the very beginning. That's why Panorama Education, LLC is proud to share that Panorama Education has been awarded the Common Sense Privacy Seal, earning a 93% privacy rating and placing Panorama among the top-rated education technology platforms evaluated by Common Sense Media. This recognition comes at an important moment. As schools adopt more digital tools - including AI-powered technologies - the Common Sense Privacy Seal reflects the high standard districts should expect from any platform handling district data and affirms Panorama's longstanding commitment to protecting that information with care and rigor. What is the Common Sense Privacy Seal? The Common Sense Privacy Seal helps schools, families, and educators identify products that meet rigorous privacy criteria and follow best practices for protecting personal information. Companies earning the Seal are independently reviewed for responsible data practices, clear policies, and strong safeguards around how information is collected, used, and stored. For districts navigating an increasingly complex digital landscape, this kind of trusted third-party verification offers meaningful reassurance that student privacy is being safeguarded through strong, verified practices. What the Seal Represents To qualify for the Seal, companies must demonstrate strong privacy protections aligned with key consumer and student safety expectations. These include commitments such as: * No sale of data to third parties * No third-party marketing using customer data * No targeted advertising based on personal information * No third-party tracking across websites * No cross-app tracking of user activity * No commercial profiling of users These principles reflect the privacy-first approach Panorama has prioritized for years: protecting sensitive student information and maintaining transparency with its school partners. Panorama's Ongoing Commitment to Data Privacy As more educational tools enter classrooms, and as AI becomes more common, district leaders are asking important questions about data use, oversight, and long-term safeguards. Schools deserve technology partners who treat privacy as essential infrastructure. As Ali Levy, Chief of Staff to Panorama's Technology team, shared, "We believe AI in schools must be safe by design. That's why Panorama products are built with privacy and security at the core - upholding best-in-class standards districts can rely on." The Common Sense Privacy Seal offers independent confirmation of that commitment, helping districts more easily identify platforms that meet high expectations for student data protection. Panorama Education, LLC is proud to be included among the organizations setting that bar. This recognition also builds on Panorama's longstanding work to meet and exceed major privacy and security standards, including FERPA, COPPA, SOC 2 compliance, 1EdTech Data Privacy Certification, and applicable state student data privacy laws. Looking Ahead Receiving this recognition is a meaningful milestone for its team, and it strengthens its ongoing commitment to the districts Panorama Education, LLC serve. Panorama Education, LLC will continue investing in strong privacy practices, secure systems, and transparent partnerships, so district leaders can move forward with confidence in the tools they rely on every day.
