Lubbock High School in Texas has embraced data analytics to improve student outcomes, using SAS EVAAS to give teachers deeper insights into each student's progress over time. This has empowered teachers to personalize instruction, target interventions, and foster academic growth.

Why it matters

As schools seek to boost student achievement, data-driven approaches that go beyond just measuring proficiency can provide valuable insights to transform teaching and learning. Lubbock High's experience shows how predictive analytics can help educators tailor instruction to individual needs and support continuous improvement.

The details

Three years ago, Lubbock High School's academic dean Dr. Lyndsey Lucas saw an opportunity to leverage analytics beyond just compliance reporting. By implementing SAS EVAAS, the school now gives teachers more visibility into each student's progress across years, allowing them to adjust instruction and provide targeted interventions or enrichment.

  • Lubbock High School has used SAS EVAAS for the past three years.
  • The school serves nearly 2,000 students and has a long history predating the town of Lubbock itself.
