Palm Beach County School District

The Palm Beach County School District in Florida is the 14th largest in the U.S.. It has more than 160 schools, 9,000 teachers, and 160,000 students. The District worked closely with Cognos to implement a solution for K-12 education. Now, administrators receive the reports they need for No Child Left Behind, and can also answer their own questions about educational initiatives, human resources, budgets, individual schools, classes or students. They can track student progress over time, compare one student's progress to another's. They can compare classrooms, schools, school districts, and can look at the various programs to determine what works and what doesn't - capabilities unheard of in K-12 education.
