Case Study: New Kensington-Arnold School District reduces suspensions with ClassDojo

New Kensington-Arnold School District cuts suspensions by 97% with ClassDojo

The New Kensington-Arnold School District, specifically H.D. Berkey Elementary School, faced a significant challenge with high student suspension rates and negative behavioral issues. To address this, the school adopted ClassDojo, a communication platform, to improve student engagement and foster better relationships with parents.

Using ClassDojo, the school reinforced positive behavior by incentivizing students with points and improving the speed and quality of communication with families. The results were dramatic, with student suspensions plummeting by 97%, from 69 to just two days over a two-year period. ClassDojo also helped increase participation in school community events and created a more positive and engaging school environment.
