Case Study: Hattiesburg Public School District achieves real-time, actionable student insights with Tableau Software

Hattiesburg Public School District makes informed student decisions

Hattiesburg Public School District, focused on improving outcomes for students and families, struggled with fragmented data and slow decision-making. Before Tableau, staff relied on isolated spreadsheets and spent 10–12 hours compiling datasets, which prevented a timely, holistic view of individual student needs.

By adopting Tableau Online and integrating it with their student information system (with backend support from a partner), the district now produces unified student profiles that district and school administrators — and soon teacher leaders — can access. This has cut data prep time to near‑instant, made insights real‑time and actionable, and enabled targeted interventions that better identify and serve students’ needs.
