School Data

Intro

Oh-oh, da-da-data, hey-ya

Uh-huh, yeah, whoa

Verse

Rows and columns, names in a line (name, name)

Attendance green, amber, red — we track the time

Late slips, lunch counts, names that pop on the screen

Every small number's part of the bigger dream

Teacher clicks, bell rings, a quiet little zap

A graph that climbs when a student finds their map

From quizzes to projects, from practice to test

These digits show the days we tried our best (tried our best)

Pre-chorus

Turn the spreadsheet into a story (story)

Find the patterns, find the glory (find it)

Not just numbers — they're signs and clues

We read between the lines and we choose

Chorus

School data, school data, tell me what you say (tell me)

School data, school data, light the way (light the way)

School data, school data, stack it row by row

School data, school data, watch us grow (watch us grow)

School data, school data, tell me what you say (tell me)

School data, school data, light the way (light the way)

School data, school data, stack it row by row

School data, school data, watch us grow (watch us grow)

Verse

Dashboard lights up at the start of the day (go)

Intervention flags where we can help and stay

Notes from counselors, goal lines on the chart

A nudge, a call, a tutoring heart

Comparison lines but context in mind (in mind)

We sort by need, not by the grade assigned

Late nights of marking, a teacher's steady hand

Turning tiny data into a lesson plan (plan, plan)

Pre-chorus

Aggregate meaning, never just a file (no)

Patterns that guide us mile after mile (mile)

From entry to exit, we watch the climb

We use the numbers to save some time

Chorus

School data, school data, tell me what you say (tell me)

School data, school data, light the way (light the way)

School data, school data, stack it row by row

School data, school data, watch us grow (watch us grow)

School data, school data, tell me what you say (tell me)

School data, school data, light the way (light the way)

School data, school data, stack it row by row

School data, school data, watch us grow (watch us grow)

Bridge

We keep it close, we keep it kind (kind, kind)

Privacy first in every line (line)

Consent and care in the workflow stream (stream)

Numbers with names — people, not a scheme (people)

Oh-oh, protect it, respect it, hold it tight (hold it)

Turn the cold digits into warm light (warm light)

Chorus

School data, school data, tell me what you say (tell me)

School data, school data, light the way (light the way)

School data, school data, stack it row by row

School data, school data, watch us grow (watch us grow)

School data, school data, tell me what you say (tell me)

School data, school data, light the way (light the way)

School data, school data, stack it row by row

School data, school data, watch us grow (watch us grow)

Outro

Oh-oh, da-da-data, hey-ya (watch us grow)

We read the lines,
