About Proximity Proximity ... The mission of Proximity is to develop and deploy decision-making information solutions to help clients achieve enduring performance improvement. As the economy and demographics change, so does the importance of having the most relevant, accurate, and useable decision-making information to achieve visions for performance and goals. Disparate, wide-ranging, and unconnected data, requires knowledge, methodology, and tools that can transform these data into decision-making information solutions. These are among factors that led to the establishment of Proximity. Proximity is focused on the development, application, and use of innovative products, services, and methodologies that advance our client's analysis and decision making empowerment. More than a set of tools, this involves process-oriented solutions. Proximity helps private and public sector clients or all sizes and types to "get closer to optimal solutions" through the use of improved access to and use of decision making information.

School and School District Decision-Making Solutions http://proximityone.com/sddmi.htm Proximity helps schools, school districts, education agencies, K-12 education stakeholders and others develop, integrate and use geodemographics and related decision-making information. Proximity develops and maintains resources useful to to assess and analyze characteristics of America's more than 14,000 public school districts by demographic size, composition, and patterns; financial characteristics; and related attributes. Working with individual school districts Proximity develops Geodemographic Planning and Analysis Systems (GPAS) centric to their school district. A focus of the GPAS is to enable the district leadership and stakeholders to create new opportunities for student and school improvement. Fundamental to the GPAS is the development of a CommunityViewer project for the school district. Deployed internally on the school district computers, the GPAS/CV tool enables staff to examine patterns in student and school performance in the context of attendance zones, neighborhood, and community demographics. GPAS helps analysts assess the match-up between school capacity and changing demographics of the school age population. See above link for more information.
