At the end of the 2023-2024 school year, Standard Education customer Houston County School District in Georgia reported some impactful state data after reviewing their dashboards. Houston County School District reduced the number of dropouts this year by 43%, which represents about 200 additional students who graduated this year.
Houston County School District launched its initiative, Operation Graduation, last fall. Together, we developed dashboards that showcased attendance, grading, and withdrawals, a significant step in improving graduation rates and attendance following the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We were able to have real-time conversations about failure rates. It allows our admin and our support staff to work with teachers when they see hot spots pop up, or it allows us to be more proactive about it in the first place,” said Dr. Steven Hornyak, Director of District & School Effectiveness, Houston County School District. These dashboards were successfully implemented in October 2023.
“We have always had the data available to us, but Standard Education's dashboards help us identify areas that need improvement. It's not that we didn't want to track this; we simply didn't have a way to do it. They wouldn’t have graduated without your help."
Houston County School District is located about two hours south of Atlanta and is the home to over 30,000 students across 38 schools in Georgia.
