Elmore County Schools Optimize Spending with ROI Insights

Background

Elmore County School District, located in Wetumpka, AL, has long embraced data-driven decision-making to improve student outcomes. In 2019, the district partnered with Level Data to ensure every curriculum, technology, and instructional resource investment had a measurable impact. By implementing Level Data’s Return on Instruction (ROI) platform, Elmore County gained real-time insights into resource utilization, curriculum effectiveness, and financial efficiency, empowering leaders to make data-backed decisions that drive student success.

Challenge

Before adopting ROI, district leaders faced several challenges:

• Disparate data sources made it difficult to evaluate instructional effectiveness.
• No centralized system to measure return on investment for programs and resources.
• Time-consuming data analysis, limiting the ability to act on insights efficiently.

While Elmore County already had a strong data culture, they needed a more efficient and actionable way to align resources with student achievement.

Key Issues:

• Instructional Program Usage: Many digital tools and resources were underutilized.
• Data-Driven Decision-Making: Leadership lacked immediate insights to guide instructional improvements.
• Financial Optimization: The district needed to identify and eliminate wasteful spending.
• Administrative Efficiency: Educators and principals needed streamlined access to data for better planning.
