In today's education landscape, data is critical for informed decision-making. School districts generate vast amounts of student, staff, and operational data — but too often, this data remains siloed, underutilized, or difficult to interpret. Abre is a modern data solution for K-12 education, providing a secure, scalable, and intelligent platform that allows educators to transform raw data into meaningful, data-driven decisions. "We built Abre to break down the hundreds of data silos in education technology, empower decision-makers, and create a seamless experience that lets educators focus on driving confident decision-making to support student success in and out of the classroom," says Chris Rose, former high school math teacher, now Chief Product Officer and Co-founder of Abre.
Scaling data infrastructure with Google Cloud
Google Cloud's ecosystem, particularly BigQuery and Kubernetes Engine, has enabled us to offer a scalable, high-performance platform without compromising security or affordability.

As Abre expanded from serving a single district to supporting schools nationwide, the company needed a cloud infrastructure that could scale rapidly while maintaining high performance and security. Google Cloud provided the ideal foundation.
"With our rapid growth, we needed a flexible and powerful platform," says Zach Vander Veen, former district director of technology, now Chief Innovation Officer and Co-founder of Abre. "Google Cloud's ecosystem, particularly BigQuery and Kubernetes Engine, has enabled us to offer a scalable, high-performance platform without compromising security or affordability."
Abre's platform is designed to simplify and streamline data usage for educators, administrators, and district leaders. Instead of navigating fragmented, complex systems, schools can use Abre as an integrated data hub to consolidate student information, assessments, wellness, intervention data, and much more into a single source of truth.
"We've seen districts struggle with managing disconnected software solutions," says James Stoffer, Chief Executive Officer of Abre. "By leveraging Google Cloud, we've built a platform that simplifies data management, helping all stakeholders in the learning community to focus on furthering relationships with students and driving better outcomes rather than wrestling with technology."
Abre now leverages:
- BigQuery for high-speed analytics on multi-faceted education datasets, helping districts unlock the power of bringing their data together
- Kubernetes Engine for orchestrating scalable, resilient data pipelines that handle fluctuating workloads throughout the school year
- Cloud SQL and Cloud Storage for seamless data management and integration across the platform
