Case Study: Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools boosts student engagement and growth with Google for Education

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools - Customer Case Study

Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS), a large public school district, faced the challenge of creating a 21st-century learning environment for its 146,000 students. The district needed a scalable and affordable technology solution to increase student engagement and extend learning beyond the classroom, which required significant infrastructure upgrades and community support. They partnered with Google for Education to address this through a large-scale digital learning initiative.

The solution from Google for Education involved deploying over 139,000 Chromebooks and implementing G Suite for Education, making this the world's largest Chromebook deployment. This provided students and teachers with the tools for personalized, self-directed learning and enabled faster digital assessments. The measurable results were significant: the district's graduation rate increased by 20% over six years, and a remarkable 52% of CMS schools exceeded student growth expectations, outperforming the state average of 27.5%.
