SAS Helps Small School District Improve Student Performance
Overview With just 2,500 students, Beech Grove is smaller than most of the school districts in the Indianapolis area, and it face a number of challenges. The percentage of children eligible for free and reduced-cost lunch has increased from 8 percent to 60 percent in the past 10 years. Enrollment is level, which is a disadvantage in a state that gives funding preference to growing school districts. The challenge was to track and improve student performance despite a limited budget and skill set. Beech Grove deployed SAS that provided a database that teachers use to track performance and spot student weaknesses.
