Case Study: Marysville Exempted Village School District cuts per-student intervention costs by 50% and boosts third-grade pass rates with Tableau Software

Marysville Schools creates Tableau data culture to personalize learning and reduce dependency on state funds

Marysville Exempted Village School District, a standards-mastery district near Columbus, Ohio, needed a better way to personalize learning, improve interventions for at‑risk students, and reduce long-term reliance on state and federal funds. Staff struggled with fragmented student data and wanted a consolidated, actionable view of diagnostics, formative assessments, and competency to drive targeted supports.

By deploying Tableau Online dashboards and personalized learning profiles, teachers and administrators now review student-level academic and behavioral data at a glance and run focused, intentional intervention conversations. The district cut per‑student intervention costs by more than 50% (from about $10,000 to $4,400), projects $6–$18 million in savings over 25 years, and raised third‑grade assessment pass rates from 71% to 81%, while improving equity, teacher morale, and K–3 literacy outcomes.
