How to access school analytics
Use the date picker at the top of the analytics panel to filter data by time period. You can use the arrow buttons on either side of the date selector to slide between periods. For example, if you're viewing the last 30 days, clicking the left arrow shifts the view to the previous 30-day period.
At the top of the analytics panel, use the segmented control to switch between two views.
Usage — Metrics about member activity, including active users, activities created, sessions started, and number of messages sent.
Alignment — Curriculum-focused insights, including soft skills demonstrations, Bloom's Taxonomy coverage, and AI-analyzed chat sessions.
To view analytics of an entire district, click on the name of your school in the upper left corner, then click "Manage districts", then click on the chart icon next to the gear for your district.
Within district analytics, there are additional metrics measured. You can see a percent breakdown of "Usage by school".
As well as a summary table of metrics across the school's within your district.
How Sparky can help you with analytics
From the Analytics tab, click the blue speech bubble icon in the top left corner to open a conversation with Sparky. Ask questions about your data and Sparky will analyze your school metrics, member activity, and learning trends to provide answers in plain language. This can be done in either the "Usage" tab or the "Alignment" tab.

What analytics are shown in the alignment tab
Soft skills
The Soft Skills section tracks how often students demonstrate Flint's five transdisciplinary skills—Critical Thinking, Curiosity, Resilience, Communication, and Creativity—during their chat sessions. The metric card shows total sessions where skills were identified, while the radar chart visualizes which skills appear most frequently.
Pulse
Pulse uses AI to surface actionable insights about your school's learning activity. It highlights what's going well, flags opportunities for growth, and calls out patterns that may warrant attention.
Cognitive Rigor
Cognitive Rigor shows how activities are distributed across the six levels of Bloom's Taxonomy. Use this chart to see whether students are engaging with higher order thinking tasks.
Activity metrics
Activity metrics break down how activities are structured. Activity Types shows the split between written and oral formats, while Activities Per Subject lets you drill into subject categories to see where learning is concentrated.
Flint's 5 transdisciplinary skills
This carousel highlights moments from student chats where Flint identified soft skills in action. Filter by skill to see examples of Critical Thinking, Curiosity, Resilience, Communication, or Creativity. Each card shows the student's exact words alongside the skill demonstrated, and clicking a card takes you directly to that moment in the chat.
Students' strengths and areas for improvement
This carousel surfaces AI analyzed chat sessions with identified strengths or growth areas. Use the dropdown to toggle between views. Each card links directly to the moment it occurred so you can review the full context.
We take student safety seriously at Flint. An expandable section showing messages flagged for self-harm, violence, or harassment during the selected period. Each flagged message displays:
- Message content
- User who sent it
- Timestamp
- Moderation categories (e.g., self-harm, violence, harassment)
- Link to the original chat
This article goes into further detail about moderation works in Flint.
How to export data from analytics
