Case Study: Russellville City Schools achieves better student outcomes and streamlined strategic plan execution with Envisio

Russellville City Schools - Customer Case Study

Russellville City Schools, a four-school district in Russellville, AL serving 2,537 students, faced major shifts in demographics, pervasive poverty (74% of students below the poverty line) and aging facilities that made focused strategic planning imperative. To move beyond spreadsheets, the district adopted Envisio to manage its first comprehensive strategic plan and align stakeholders around goals for academic growth, character development and community engagement.

Envisio provided a centralized planning platform with cascade planning, task-level KPIs, personal dashboards, automated rollups and customizable reports (e.g., Board - Weekly Strategic Update, Tasks by Employee) used by 25 central office staff to drive accountability. Using Envisio, RCS nearly doubled grant funding, posted gains in math, reading and science, maintained attendance above 95%, achieved a 97% graduation rate and saw dramatically reduced disciplinary incidents (only two high‑school fights last year), demonstrating measurable impact on operations and student outcomes.
