Visualizing Education Data
Challenge
The Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) for the state of Washington provides a huge amount of data on school test scores, performance indicators, child chronic absenteeism and much more. These datasets are well organized and accessible for researchers, but making sense of such a large amount of disparate data for practical use by public servants and nonprofits was a big challenge.
Solution
Vizable Insights collaborated with Washington Nonprofits to create a comprehensive dashboard with an easy-to-use interface. The visualizations display metrics like kindergarten readiness, milestone test results, discipline, chronic absenteeism, as well as graduation rates and post-secondary enrollment. What was previously raw data spread across multiple data sources became available and accessible in a single dashboard covering every school district in every county of Washington state.
