What is ADE K-12 State Education Data Hub?

The ADE K-12 State Education Data Hub is built on the IBM® Business Intelligence (BI) software, Cognos® platform, and is used by Arkansas to meet the state, cooperative, district and school-level data reporting needs. Cognos® provides business intelligence data hubs through its Educational Performance Management System (EPMS). The state education data hub is updated nine times per year through the statewide information system (SIS). In addition to live and longitudinal reporting, IBM Cognos® is used to provide dashboards to educational stakeholders. Dashboards offer feature-rich visualizations to allow users to “drill-up” and “drill-down” on pre-built reports to examine areas of academic strength and weakness.

The data from ADE K-12 State Education Data Hub is used to fulfill State, Federal, Ad-hoc and Legislative Reporting and, the data from ADE K-12 State Education Data Hub feeds several other ADE Education Information Systems as listed below:

1. Statewide Information System Reports (SISR) Portal

The Arkansas Department of Education (ADE), Office of Information Technology (OIT), recently upgraded the agency’s IBM Cognos Analytics environment to improve platform currency, supportability, and the continued delivery of reliable education data and reporting services.

The update moved current environment from IBM Cognos Analytics version 12.0.2 to version 12.1.3.

As part of this modernization effort, the State Data Warehouse (SDW) will be rebranded as the State Education Data Hub (SEDH).

This new identity reflects ADE’s rich legacy of approximately 25 years of K–12 education data artifacts and historical information associated with the Statewide Information System (SIS). The transition to SEDH recognizes this longstanding investment in education data and reinforces our commitment to preserving institutional knowledge while supporting evolving statewide reporting, analytics, and data-informed decision-making needs.
