Case Study: Metropolitan School District of Lawrence Township improves student data access with Microsoft Power BI

Metropolitan School District of Lawrence Township - Customer Case Study

The Metropolitan School District of Lawrence Township, a large urban school district in Indiana, faced the challenge of aggregating disconnected student data from various sources like grades, attendance records, and behavioral notes. This hindered their ability to get a complete view of each student and made their response-to-intervention meetings inefficient. They partnered with Microsoft, utilizing its Power BI service alongside Smartsheet, to break down these information silos and improve collaboration among educators.

Microsoft's Power BI, integrated with Smartsheet, provided a solution that centralized data and delivered powerful visualization tools. This gave staff a unified, 360-degree view of each student, allowing them to access information more than three times faster during meetings. As a result, educators could spend less time searching for data and more time acting on it to provide timely interventions, ultimately empowering them to make more effective, data-informed decisions to support student success.
