    From Early Signals to
    On-Time Graduation

    Secondary teams need early insight into risk and clear ways to track graduation milestones, support delivery, and readiness without juggling spreadsheets, disconnected tools, or manual processes.

    Branching Minds brings graduation and support into the same MTSS workflows educators already use, helping districts:

    • Identify early signs of risk

    • Document personalized support plans

    • Monitor readiness based on key graduation milestones

    Graduation readiness isn’t just a student-level concern, it’s a system-level responsibility.

    Branching Minds provides district and school leaders with tools to explore trends, evaluate resourcing needs, and monitor progress at scale. With built-in reporting and dashboards, teams can:

    • Analyze early warning trends across attendance, behavior, and course performance.
    • Monitor patterns in graduation risk over time.
    • Review family communication activity and outreach efforts.
    • Identify gaps, trends, and opportunities for proactive system-wide support.

    Flag Risk with a Built-In Early Warning System

    Graduation challenges rarely appear all at once. Attendance issues, behavior concerns, and course performance trends often signal risk before a student falls significantly behind.

    The Branching Minds Early Warning System (EWS) helps secondary teams identify students who may be at risk for not graduating on time by automatically flagging:

    • Attendance concerns
    • Behavior incidents (suspensions)
    • Course failures
    See it in action

    Document and Monitor Graduation Support

    By bringing graduation support together with academic, attendance, and behavior data, secondary educators can see a clear, complete picture of each student’s strengths, needs, and progress toward important graduation milestones.

    Branching Minds provides a centralized, highly visible place to track graduation support plans and postsecondary readiness:

    • View key secondary assessment scores, like ACT, SAT, AP, and state assessments.
    • Document personalized graduation support plans aligned to student needs, desired competencies, and state requirements.
    • Track progress toward graduation milestones over time.
    • Collaborate with counselors, administrators, and support staff in one shared space.

    Graduation Readiness

    Integrate Postsecondary Support into Your MTSS Framework

    Graduation readiness isn’t separate from MTSS, it’s an extension of it.

    By bringing early risk identification, graduation support, collaboration, and reporting into one cohesive system, Branching Minds helps secondary teams support each student’s success leading up to and beyond graduation.

    "Branching Minds helps us catch issues early and keep students on track with grade-level content—so support is based on data, not just labels."

    Dr. Julie Thompson

    Superintendent, Roanoke Rapids Graded School District, NC

    "We monitor Early Warning Indicators with Branching Minds, looking at academic course failures after the first quarter passes. Based on that data, our secondary teams meet with and develop support plans for those kids — documenting that information and any parent communication in the platform."

    Rhonda French

    Assistant Director of Pupil Services, Medina City Schools, OH

    "I've been doing this work for 36 years, and I've never come across a tool that encompasses so many things districts truly need and that my staff actually use daily."

    Dr. William Crankshaw

    Superintendent, Greater Johnstown School District , NY

    "My staff love the visual aspect of Branching Minds. They love that all the data we need is fed through ClassLink, that we can connect the data, and that they only have to go to one place for all the information they need to support students."

    Laurel Dickson

    Director of MTSS, Richardson ISD, TX

    "Branching Minds has given classroom teachers more in-depth knowledge regarding areas in which a student struggles and the intervention tools to help meet their needs."

    Kristen Beesaw

    Assistant Director of Interventions and 504, Bryan Independent School District, TX

    "Branching Minds gives you tools you didn’t even know to ask for—like editable family communication templates. No other company even made me think of that."

    Ron Dumais

    Technology Educator, Middletown Public Schools, RI

    "Our MTSS team chose Branching Minds because of the ingestion from the different testing sites. That alone would save us a lot of work of going back and forth and finding those scores."

    Jodee Nelson

    Title 1 Coordinator and K-3 Reading Interventionist, Lincoln County School District #2, WY

    "We considered a whole lot of products, but we could see that with Branching Minds, there was a whole other level of insight and commitment."

    Dr. Ann White

    Associate Superintendent for Student Services (retired), Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, NC

    "We tier all of our students in Branching Minds using SELweb data - it's a game changer! The process for progress monitoring and communicating is very clear and systematic. And we're all speaking the same language."

    Jennifer Maichin

    Former High School Assistant Principal, Mineola UFSD, NY
