The Cruncher Solution

Districts need results, not more work to do

The Cruncher Solution is a service, not another software application for you to manage.

Cruncher is managed by Cruncher Inc, and used by you. We install, update, and configure Cruncher.

Cruncher runs on your server on your network in your district. This improves performance over typical outsourced web based applications and allows you to control physical and connective security to the server.

Cruncher is tightly integrated with your Student Information System data. Student information in Cruncher is updated on a nightly basis from, read from your student information system. There are no exports, imports, or other issues for you to deal with.

Cruncher includes pre-id, test results reporting, and web based test results display for the typical state tests (STAR, CELDT, HSEE).

Cruncher was designed as an extensible application and custom features can be added for your district.
