Possessing enough and timely information about a process or product and being able to organize and display it efficiently, is a determining factor for decision making in organizations. Educational institutions are not alien to this principle and use different strategies to manage it. Nowadays, the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are commonly used to support the evaluation process by competences, to identify strengths and weaknesses and to analyze and reports the results, in order to monitor student performance and apply improvement plans. This paper shows an analysis of some influential factors in the development of academic reports for basic education institutions, through the implementation of an Information System that provides global and sectional statistics, extracts relevant information on the individual and group performance, simplifies reading and analysis of the data provided, allows the presentation of data in numerical, qualitative and graphical form, highlights the points that move away from the average, among other useful functions.
