Watch Our Otus-in-a-Minute Overview
What K-12 Leaders Are Saying About Otus
"We've never had a platform that encompasses everything—from testing to data, progress monitoring, and MTSS—all in one place, with a complete student profile. With our previous platform, teacher engagement dropped to just 10%, so we knew we needed a solution that would reengage teachers and make student data easy to access and use."
Millie Boykin
Director of School Improvement
Bulloch County Schools (GA)
“We really needed a data system that was different from what our Student Information System would provide – a way to look at students more holistically including their past and present data. I started using the plans in Otus last year and this works really well for academic tracking. This year, I’ve taken it to my entire intervention team.”
Jessica Conn
MTSS Coordinator
Maureen Joy Charter School (NC)
“We have a very unique competency-based system for assessment – a mash-up of competency, standards, mastery, and traditional. It was very difficult to find a tool and gradebook to support how we do things, and Otus filled every need we had.”
Camp
Head of Teaching and Learning
New England Innovation Academy (MA)
“What we love about Otus is we can create any type of assessment — formative, summative, rubric. I can also create any type of question. We had a seventh-grade ELA assessment where the learning standard was to match a type of media to an article. I was able to upload a podcast in Otus and add a nonfiction article that our students were able to toggle between.”
Vivian May
Secondary Instructional Coach
Marion Country Schools (KY)
“I love the simplicity of Otus! From the beginning, Otus stood out as being clean and very easy to navigate compared to our last system and other systems we were piloting. The fact that we could collaborate and share out resources on one platform made things so much easier.”
Lisa Wardle
Hemet Unified School District (CA)
“With just a few clicks on Otus, I can get the full picture of every student. It’s data that I can truly use instead of perusing through charts that have been formed a week after the fact. The immediate nature of the actionable data is what makes it even more powerful.”
Trevor Johnson
Second-Grade Teacher and Technology Advisor
Santa Rosa Academy (CA)
“I wanted to find a tool that could ground the data, but, more importantly, create something that’s user-friendly for teachers and students. Our students can really own their metrics and their journey, and see the relationship between goal-setting and the progress that they’ve made. With Otus, you’re going to see a more invested student, and they’re going to understand the relevance. It’s one of the best data tools to support Portrait of a Graduate.”
Scott Carr
College and Career Readiness Consultant
CESA 2 (WI)
“We had a lot of teachers using different platforms and parents were getting confused. Utilizing Otus helped us to really streamline that so that there was one single system to help their student navigate learning.”

Instructional Technology Coordinator
North Shore School District 112 (IL)
