How School Districts Provide Targeted Student Support, Empower District Leaders, and Make Programming Decisions

Pull together disparate data sources with Student Analytics Lab: learn how school districts are using data to inform programming decisions, empower district and campus leadership, and tailoring supports to students in need.

Provide Targeted Support

With Student Analytics Lab, you don’t need to be a data analyst to look at student data, identify at-risk students, make programming decisions, and then track results.

Chapel Hill ISD’s Early Warning System

Dr. Josh Tremont, Executive Director of Curriculum, works with district and campus leaders to brainstorm creative, data-driven ideas. Because Student Analytics Lab updates data nightly, the district can spend time having meaningful conversations rather than staying on the sidelines pulling and filtering numbers.

With the snap of a finger, we’re looking at the same data, but we’re not spending countless hours disaggregating that data or collecting it. We try to take the manpower out of this, right? What we want to do is be able to hand the data report to someone and let our educational leaders and our specialists make actionable decisions, rather than spending countless hours on getting the data itself.

Empower District Leaders

For district leaders, speed matters. Student Analytics Lab makes it easy and fast for principals, teachers…everyone, really, to bring student data together and make sense of it.

Mercedes ISD’s Need for Data Literacy and Proactive Analysis

Data Fellow Mona Guerra has used Student Analytics Lab to revamp the way the district looks at and utilizes data to make decisions. Whether a principal is preparing a PowerPoint presentation for a teacher or the school board, everything is drag-and-drop, and the data is always there (and up-to-date!).

The thing that we’re probably most proud of and that our principals have utilized a lot is our early warning system,” Mona said, noting that Mercedes ISD uses a restorative justice model and principals can use the system to identify at-risk students and help discern how to address issues. “Attendance has been an issue for quite a few years now. Getting those kiddos and having those conversations and getting interventions put in place before the kids are chronically absent has made a huge difference.

Make Programming Decisions

Student Analytics Lab makes it easier to collaborate with other departments and keep everyone on the same page.

San Dieguito Leans into Their Reputation as a High-Performing District

Julie Goldberg, the Director of Assessment and Accountability at San Dieguito Union High School District, relies on real time data for more productive collaboration with the finance and program departments.

Instead of having to wait months to say, ‘Oh, this program’s not working, we need to make a change,’ we notice it that much sooner and can really change things for the better for students and for teachers and what’s happening in our classrooms.
