BEST Redistricting Tool
Whether a school district is growing, consolidating, or has shifting demographics, our “Boundary Exploration and Scenario Testing” (BEST) tool makes the challenging task of creating and analyzing boundary scenarios simple. Redistricting can be a daunting task for school districts of all sizes. Transparency and communication with stakeholders are key to a successful boundary plan and having the data to support decisions are essential for buy-in.
Our BEST tool provides users with the data they need to draw boundary scenarios that work now and into the future. BEST calculates and displays the decisional metrics used to:
- Balance utilization
- Improve equity
- Allocate resources
- Provide transparency
- Analyze metrics

Use our custom “Boundary Analysis Rating” (BAR) score to make apples to apples comparisons between before and after scenarios and amongst all school boundaries. BAR helps remove some of the uncertainty when multiple factors affect the overall impact of change.

- Building boundaries around clearly defined goals
