Case Study: Springs Charter Schools improves whole-child support and reduces suspensions with Branching Minds

Springs Charter Schools reduces suspensions by 35.5% with Branching Minds

Springs Charter Schools, a California charter network serving over 11,000 students, faced significant challenges in implementing its personalized learning mission. Despite being data-rich, the district was information poor, with academic, behavioral, and social-emotional data trapped in separate silos. This disjointed system made it difficult for teachers to see the whole child and created ambiguity in staff roles and responsibilities.

By implementing the Branching Minds MTSS Core Platform, the district centralized all of its student data. This solution provided tools like the Early Warning System and Canopy Case Management, which enabled staff to proactively identify needs and collaborate effectively. As a result, Branching Minds helped Springs Charter Schools achieve a 35.5% decrease in suspensions and a reduction in Tier 3 academic referrals, all while demonstrating measurable academic growth across every student subgroup.
