Pennsylvania Information Management System (PIMS)

PIMS is Pennsylvania’s Department of Education (PDE) implementation of a statewide system to collect state and federal education statistics. The goal of PIMS is to enhance a school district’s capabilities to meet student-level data reporting requirements and provide robust decision support tools.
