# Panorama Education

> Panorama Education is a Boston-based K-12 software company that turns the messy exhaust of school life - attendance, grades, behavior, and honest survey answers from students, teachers, and parents - into a single picture a district can actually act on. Started in a Yale dorm in 2012 as a way to ask kids what they thought of school, it now sits inside more than 2,000 districts and touches roughly 15 million students, and it is betting its next decade on district-controlled AI that drafts intervention plans instead of just charting the problem.

## Products & services

- **Panorama Surveys and Engagement** — The company's original K-12 platform for surveying students, families, teachers, and staff on school climate, safety, belonging, and social-emotional skills. Core survey questions were co-developed with the Harvard Graduate School of Education and open-sourced in 2014.
- **Panorama Student Success** — An MTSS (multi-tiered system of supports) platform that pulls attendance, grades, assessments, behavior, and survey data into a single student profile with early-warning flags, so counselors and teachers can see who needs help and coordinate a response.
- **Panorama SEL** — Social-emotional learning measurement - validated surveys on skills like growth mindset, self-efficacy, and sense of belonging - that feed directly into the Student Success platform.
- **Panorama Playbook** — A library of 1,000+ evidence-based intervention strategies mapped across MTSS tiers and K-12 grade bands, so educators have a next step attached to the data.
- **Panorama Pathways** — Graduation-tracking tool that monitors credits, requirements, and off-track students to boost on-time graduation rates.
- **Panorama Solara** — A purpose-built, district-controlled and privacy-focused AI platform for K-12 that drafts intervention plans, family communications, IEP and behavior documentation, differentiated instruction, and more. Named EdTech AI Platform of the Year 2026.
- **Class Companion (acquired)** — An AI feedback and tutoring tool acquired in April 2025 that gives students real-time feedback on assignments and expands Solara toward personalized instruction and career exploration.
