Case Study: Hattiesburg Public School District achieves data-driven student insights and timely interventions with Tableau Software

Hattiesburg Public School District - Customer Case Study

Hattiesburg Public School’s N. R. Burger Middle School faced the common challenge of not knowing incoming students well—data was locked in folders and notebooks, making it hard for staff to interpret behavior or spot underlying issues. That lack of timely, accessible information sometimes led to misjudgments about students’ conduct and prevented quick, targeted interventions.

By deploying Tableau dashboards and student profile sheets accessible on PCs, Macs and iPads, staff gained secure, real-time access to each student’s five-year history. This let the principal identify a traumatic experience behind a student’s early misbehavior, connect the child to services (who later became student of the month), and more broadly enable teachers, guidance counselors, attendance officers and parents to make timely, data-driven decisions about academics and attendance.
