SASI (Schools Administrative Student Information) or SASI Student Information System was a computer program developed by Jerry D. Lloyd of Educational Timesharing Systems, who was acquired by National Computer Systems (NCS) and NCS was acquired by Pearson in 1997. The cross-platform system provides administrators and educators with access to student demographics, attendance, schedules, discipline, grades, extended test histories, and state reporting codes.[3][4] Features of SASI include SASIxp, InteGrade Pro, classroomXP, and Parent Access. In 2003, more than 16,000 schools nationwide used the software.[5]

It was classified as end of life in 2011 by Pearson.
