Case Study: Goodwill Education Initiatives achieves improved standardized test outcomes with Tableau Software

Goodwill Education improves standardized test outcomes

Goodwill Education faced a common challenge in K–12: a culture reluctant to use data and limited visibility into what actually drives student success. Leaders wanted more than pass/fail metrics—they needed actionable insights from state assessments and accessible reporting for teachers and administrators across devices.

By deploying Tableau and Tableau Server, Goodwill made interactive dashboards available on laptops, tablets and phones and instituted regular data-review meetings. The analytics uncovered a single standard that predicts test passage with 90% likelihood, allowing teachers to tighten instruction around that foundation, break down data barriers, increase teacher buy-in, and ultimately drive improved student performance.
