District data without the $70-per-seat BI bill

Sound familiar?

Tableau seats that cost more than the program

You built beautiful dashboards. Then the bill came — $70/month per principal, per program director, per board member who just needs to view a chart. The license cost kills adoption.

Reports that take two days to pull

Board meeting is Monday. You're exporting from PowerSchool on Friday, pasting into Excel, formatting, emailing PDFs. The data is stale before anyone reads it.

Principals who can see other schools' data

Sharing a district-wide Power BI report means every principal can see every other school. You end up building separate reports for each building — and maintaining all of them.

IT won't let BI tools touch student data

Cloud-first BI tools hit compliance roadblocks immediately. FERPA and district IT policies mean a lot of data stays on-prem — and most BI vendors don't support that cleanly.

How DashboardFox works for education

One dashboard, one dataset — but principals see their school, the superintendent sees everything, and the board gets the summary view they asked for.

Row-Level Security

One dashboard. Every principal sees only their school.

Build the district dashboard once. When each principal logs in, they see only their building's attendance, assessment, and enrollment data. The superintendent sees all schools. The board sees district totals. No separate reports, no maintenance headaches.

  • Filter by school, grade, or program automatically on login
  • Consultants can manage reporting for multiple districts from one account
  • Unlimited view-only users — not a per-seat license

Student Outcomes

Connect your SIS and see assessment trends the way teachers actually think

Pull from PowerSchool, Infinite Campus, or any SQL-accessible SIS. Build attendance trend lines, grade-level assessment comparisons, and intervention tracking — without waiting for the district IT team to build a custom report.

  • Attendance trend lines with chronic absenteeism flags
  • Assessment pass rates by grade, school, subgroup, or year
  • Year-over-year comparisons without rebuilding reports each fall

Board-ready reports, automated

Schedule weekly attendance summaries or monthly academic progress reports. They land in inboxes automatically — no manual export, no PDF formatting on Sunday night.

On-prem or cloud — your choice

DashboardFox works with databases on your network. Student data never has to leave district infrastructure to power your dashboards — a common requirement for IT and compliance teams.

Built for consultants serving districts

Ed-tech consultants and regional service agencies can manage dashboards for multiple districts from one account. Build once, deploy across clients, bill for outcomes not hours.

What a district dashboard looks like

Attendance trends, assessment outcomes, and budget status — in one view every principal actually opens.

K-12 district reporting dashboard

One dashboard gives every stakeholder exactly the view they need. Principals see their school. The superintendent sees all five. The board gets the summary. Automated alerts mean intervention happens before chronic absenteeism becomes a compliance issue — not after the semester-end report.
