inspiring conversations, impacting students

Education Data Systems & Strategy for K-12 Schools. Turning tangled webs of data into easy-to-leverage visual dashboards, systems, and training: everything you and your teachers need to close the student success gap together.

about

Data is more than numbers; it's a narrative of student growth and areas needing help. We strongly believe data should be a collaboration tool, not a source of confusion. Teachers can customize lessons, administrators can make strategic decisions, and parents can track their child's progress. Data can be gold in the world of education.

Sadly, too few companies embrace this holistic data view, which is why I founded Data-Informed Impact. With my background in education and tech, we're helping schools turn data into success stories.

"It’s not often that the data you see in your mind can be clearly represented for others to see…but thanks to Jessica Lane, I was able to see it, share it and bring it to life. This is my first foray into dashboards but it will definitely not be my last. We are ready in Cumberland County."

- Pamela Adams-Watkins, Executive Director of Exceptional Children, Cumberland County Schools

As the founder of Data-Informed Impact, Jessica Lane is known for turning webs of data into easy-to-leverage visual dashboards, systems, and training for K-12 schools – fully equipping leaders and teachers to close the student success gap together.

Having created custom solutions for 160 schools across the United States and Canada since 2020, she’s an educational data expert. With 10+ years of experience from all angles of the classroom, Jessica’s a former data coach, instructional coach, certified math teacher, and holds a Master of Education in learning and technology.

Jessica currently lives in Cincinnati, Ohio, where she can often be found excitedly exploring spreadsheets, brain studies, Brené Brown books, and puzzles. And when she’s not partnering with schools, she’s caring for her darling daughter, Emmy, or one of her 50 houseplants.

  • "Jessica helped create a customized data dashboard for our school that allows us to see just the information we need, when we need it! Even better, she customized the system and made it intuitive for our use. Jessica stayed connected with us to help troubleshoot as we rolled it out to our faculty & staff. We are grateful for her creativity, guidance, and support!"

    - Michelle Knight, K-5 Supervisor, Alcoa City Schools

  • "I’ve worked with a lot of different consultants and developers. By far working with Jessica has been my favorite experience. Not only is the product delivery exactly as promised, she takes the time to make sure you understand the process and the security so that you can make informed decisions. I’m running around trying to find more problems Jessica can solve with another dashboard. My only complaint is that I didn’t find her years ago. I can promise you will not regret working with her."

    - Lauren House, Principal, Dishman Hills High School, West Valley School District

  • "I was very impressed with the communication, passion, and hard work displayed by Jessica to complete my project. She really puts you at ease and is detail oriented in making your project her priority. She works efficiently to get the project done quickly and the way you envisioned it. She brought to life a vision that I had for my campus involving communication and contact logs for discipline, meetings, and documentation. I am beyond excited to unveil our new system this school year and I greatly look forward to working with her in the future."
