Alma Enterprise

For districts of 5,000 to 50,000+ students

Your district is complex. Your SIS shouldn't add to it.

Alma Enterprise gives district leaders the control, visibility, and connected data a large organization demands, in a system teachers, staff, and families find easy to use every day.

Established at scale

Alma connects the full K-12 data journey, from student to state.

Trusted by organizations serving more than 6 million students, Alma scales that same connected platform to the size and complexity of large districts.

One district, every vantage point

One connected record.
The right view for every role.

Every role in a district asks different questions of the same data. Alma keeps a single source of truth and shapes it for each person, so nobody rebuilds the same spreadsheet twice. Choose a role to see what changes.

Why districts move to Alma

What changes when Alma does the heavy lifting for you.

Where legacy systems push work onto peopleHow Alma flexes for you

Staff fix records one at a time.

Change hundreds of records in one pass.Spreadsheet editing, bulk updates, and validated uploads do the repetitive work.

Reports depend on one person’s know-how.

Answers anyone with permission can open.Configurable reports and consistent districtwide views, built for educators rather than analysts.

State reporting errors surface at the deadline.

Problems caught while there is time to fix them.State-specific fields and validations flag issues early, well before anything is submitted.

Hard-to-use systems mean training never ends.

An interface designed around everyday tasks.In-app help and role-based training spread expertise across every team and school.

Better information, better decisions

Connected data should lead to decisions, not more reports.

When enrollment, attendance, grades, behavior, and family engagement live in one system, leaders stop reconciling spreadsheets and start asking better questions.

  • One definition, every schoolAttendance is calculated the same way in every building, so districtwide numbers hold up.
  • Answers in plain viewDashboards and configurable reports that principals and cabinet members can read without a data team.
  • Signals before they become problemsBeaconAI is Alma’s built-in analytics layer, turning the student data your teams already rely on into clear, early signals across attendance, enrollment, grading, behavior, and family engagement.

Every district's complexity looks different. Let's talk about yours.

Governance and flexibility

Set the standard once.
Let every school run its day.

Large districts need consistency where it matters and room for schools to serve their communities. Alma lets the district decide which is which, then holds both in one system.

The district sets:

  • Data definitions and required fields
  • Roles, permissions, and data access
  • State and federal reporting
  • Security, privacy, and approved integrations

Each school configures:

  • Calendars and schedules
  • Programs and course offerings
  • Grading structures and report cards
  • Local workflows, within district rules

Protected at every level

Privacy and security are part of the platform, applied the same way in every school.

  • Role-basedPrivacy controls on every record.
  • FERPACompliant data handling.
  • NIST 800-53Alma follows NIST 800-53 guidelines.
  • 99.99%Scheduled uptime.

Modernization without disruption

Change your SIS without putting the district on hold.

For most districts the hardest part of a new SIS is the move itself. Alma's implementation team plans it with you in phases, so schools keep running while the new system comes online.

  1. Plan and govern

    Agree on decision rights, data ownership, milestones, and what success looks like, with a named Alma team beside yours.

  2. Migrate and validate

    Move current and historical data in waves, with validation checks before anything goes live.

  3. Configure and connect

    Shape Alma around your schools, programs, and roles, then test your priority integrations end to end.

  4. Train by role

    In-person, virtual, and self-paced training built for each group, from registrars and counselors to teachers.

  5. Launch and keep improving

    A district help desk, account management with regular strategy calls, and Alma Navigator resources long after go-live.

Our transition from our previous vendor was a breeze thanks to the assistance from Alma staff, and they are very responsive when it comes to changes in state reporting.
