Case Study: The Commit Partnership closes achievement gaps and scales impact across Texas with Alteryx

Commit Partnership - Customer Case Study

The Commit Partnership is a Texas nonprofit working to close educational achievement gaps by turning public education data into actionable insights. With a small analytics team and only Excel to work with massive, changing datasets from the Texas Education Agency and other sources, preparing and standardizing data took weeks, produced inconsistent results, and limited the organization’s ability to scale or spend time on direct impact.

Through the Alteryx for Good program (free Alteryx Designer licenses and volunteer support), Commit automated data prep and workflows, gained access to a 20M‑record TEA dataset, and built public Tableau dashboards and custom district reports. The change cut prep time from weeks to hours, saved hundreds of staff hours (eliminating the need to hire), enabled predictive analysis, supported statewide reporting for legislators, and helped Commit scale its work — contributing to measurable reductions in achievement gaps in parts of Texas.
