"We had started a process to build a data warehouse about two years before Connected Intelligence K-12. As we were trying to identify long-term costs, we found that while we had the upfront capacity—because of ESSER dollars to make the investment in the actual creation of it—the estimated long-term cost and even the monthly cost when you’re trying to do all of that internally was beyond what we had the capacity for."
"It has significantly improved our overall communications with families."
"The PowerSchool Unified Talent solution has allowed us to hire and retain the best possible talent in all capacities of our school division which ultimately impacts our student and their performance in the classroom. One login for Applicant Tracking, Employee Records, and Perform helps to streamline all of the processes for staff. It is our goal to continue to streamline processes for staff, so they have more time to impact student achievement in the classroom."
"PowerSchool has positively impacted our school in many different ways. One positive impact is that it allows us to have both parents and students check their grades so that they can make sure that they are passing all of their classes. This ensures that all students are doing the best they can.”
"PowerSchool helped centralize our data systems by maintaining full control over one truth-of-record for our district. This in turn helped streamline some of the daily classroom processes such as attendance and grading. Our overarching goal was to remove technology as a barrier and position it as a tool that will simplify the teacher’s day.”
"PowerSchool has helped keep all of our data clean and secure. It has been a great tool since I know the information in PowerSchool is accurate. If anyone needs anything I can easily extract the data from within PowerSchool.”
“Because PowerSchool has so many products we use, a lot of integrations are already set up out of the box. Not having to do as much background work to replicate those systems is a huge advantage. It saves us a tremendous amount of background work and reduces the risk of breaking something.”
"If an individual has unwarranted access to our data warehouse, we can adjust that, which allows us to establish a strong security foundation for the district."
"While our workload has increased, we’re striving for greater efficiency through new PowerSchool technologies."
“We live in PowerSchool all day long. It’s the first thing I open in the morning. And the main thing? Nothing slips through the cracks.”
“My biggest challenge was all these developments going up and nobody listening. When PowerSchool showed me what they could do with predictive analytics, I knew this was the solution I needed.”
“It’s very difficult nowadays to find former educators that do enrollment projections. What set [PowerSchool] apart is the level of detail—looking beyond what’s just on paper."
“Every project we do, we try to tie back to a dollar amount. It’s easier to justify something like Connected Intelligence if I can show that we can pay for it with our first project.”
“We’re training Doc AI to read documents like parent ID, birth certificates, proof of residency, and vaccinations. We’ll be able to process 60-80% of documents automatically, reducing the need for manual intervention.”
