Authors: Gustavo Zarrate, Douglas Carmichael

Managers at several school districts lack tools to access accurate, reliable, on-time and relevant data; as a result their decision-making process effectiveness is highly reduced. Our GIS department teamed up with school management leaders to develop a GIS oriented architecture for self-serving reports, dashboards and geo-analytics for supporting strategic school decisions. This comprehensive GIS solution provides powerful tools for addressing a wide range of questions about school enrollment and student placement, performance and discipline.
