🔎 Overview

Magnify is a comprehensive student data visualization platform that transforms complex educational data into actionable insights for K-12 schools and districts. In this case study I'll share how we developed a flexible, powerful dashboard system through extensive research and collaboration with educational institutions.

💪 The Challenge

K-12 schools face significant challenges in making sense of their student data:

Data scattered across multiple systems and spreadsheets

Stakeholder Interviews

We conducted extensive interviews with administrators, teachers, and staff across multiple K-12 institutions to understand their data needs and pain points. Key findings revealed that schools needed:

Real-time access to student performance metrics
Customizable risk factor calculations
Easy integration with existing student information systems
Visual representations of complex data relationships
The ability to track both individual and cohort progress

Data Assessment

We analyzed various data sources schools typically work with:

Student Information Systems (SIS)
Spreadsheet-based tracking systems
Behavioral incident reports
