Case Study: Katy Independent School District achieves instant, self-service data insights for principals with Tableau Software

Principals understand data in seconds at Katy Independent School District

Katy Independent School District, a suburban public district in Katy, Texas, struggled with slow, fragmented reporting: gathering data from multiple systems and preparing reports for central administration could take days or even weeks. Leaders wanted to move beyond spreadsheets and static text reports to a more interactive, timely analytics approach that principals could use themselves.

Katy ISD’s business intelligence team deployed Tableau, building role-specific dashboards and training principals to explore their own data with Tableau Desktop and access up-to-date information on Tableau Server. The result was a secure, governed self‑service analytics environment that delivers insights in seconds, sped reporting and decision-making, and sparked enthusiastic adoption across campuses.
