I looked at this last year and tabled the idea for a year or two. I'm
really interested in it but our database costs have been soaring (too many
cool resources!) and this is expensive. I'd love to get feedback from other
users.

Hello Colleagues,
I just had a virtual sales tour of the online resource Statista,
https://www.statista.com/ with the rep, Catalino Rosales. They are
making a big push into the K-12 market – an annual subscription is $1,200
(based on enrollment, so your cost may be lower). It has fascinating
information presented in great charts and infographics and I was impressed
by the sales rep’s presentation of the resource.
However, I really don’t know how much use it would get here at the high
school level. I’m wondering if anyone else currently subscribes to it or
has evaluated and rejected it recently.
Thanks for any input you can provide.
