Case Study: Distinctive Schools improves student progress tracking with Google for Education Data Studio

Distinctive Schools improves ELA scores by 81% with Google for Education

Distinctive Schools, a charter school organization in Chicago and Detroit, sought to advance its personalized, student-centered learning model. The challenge was efficiently pulling together and analyzing vast amounts of student data from many disparate platforms to enable educators to make timely, informed instructional decisions. Google for Education addressed this challenge with its Google Data Studio visualization tool.

By implementing Google Data Studio, which integrates with their existing Google Workspace for Education platform, Distinctive Schools created a centralized and secure hub for data. The solution saved teachers significant time on data processing, provided intuitive and real-time insights into student progress, and allowed for the combination of academic and non-academic data. Google for Education's tool helped produce measurable results, including an 81% improvement in ELA scores across all K-5 grades in one school year.
