Case Study: North East Florida Educational Consortium achieves a complete, real-time 360° view of student, staff, and financial data with Skyward

North East Florida Educational Consortium - Customer Case Study

North East Florida Educational Consortium (NEFEC), an education service agency serving about 77,000 students, faced fragmented data across many apps and rising integration costs as districts added more tools. NEFEC had long used Skyward's student and business suites (School Management Suite) but found administrators spending weeks or months merging data for reporting and decision‑making rather than focusing on students.

NEFEC adopted the Ed‑Fi data standard and leveraged Skyward’s Ed‑Fi–certified functionality to connect Skyward with other best‑of‑breed systems into a single data hub. The Skyward integration produced faster, more accurate state and federal reporting, real‑time data for analytics and custom visualizations, and practical impacts such as identifying at least 30 paraprofessionals who entered a teacher certification pathway—demonstrating measurable gains in operational efficiency and data‑driven instruction using Skyward.
