Westfield Public Schools (WPS) in New Jersey is revolutionizing its approach to student success through data-driven equity in education. Under the leadership of Superintendent Dr. Raymond González, the district has implemented Abre to create more equitable learning environments for its 6,000 students. By centralizing multiple data warehouses into one unified system, WPS can now effectively track student progress, identify learning gaps, and create personalized intervention strategies. Abre enables both administrators and educators to actively participate in assessment administration and data analysis, while leveraging AI technology to develop targeted solutions for student success. This data-driven approach allows WPS to move beyond quick fixes to implement sustainable, evidence-based solutions that address the diverse needs of their student population.
