What is Mosaic Data Platform? Mosaic is Schoolzilla's holistic analytics platform for school districts. Mosaic combines real-time, researched-backed indicators with mobile-ready, human-centered design to ensure that education leaders have the insights they need to drive continuous and equitable improvement.
