Problem

A Kentucky school district needed to track student performance across elementary, middle, and high school to meet state funding metrics, particularly identifying declines in performance. The manual process was time-consuming and ineffcient.
- Filtering data and creating yearly spreadsheets (4+ hours).
- Collecting and combining data, and stakeholder discussions (2+ weeks).
- Discussions and approval for how to track student performance (2+ weeks).
- Building insightful reports, charts, and slides (1+ week).

Siloed data made holistic analysis nearly impossible. This complex process required significant expertise, adding further delays and challenges.
