Case Study: Oakwood School streamlines admissions and strengthens family engagement with Gravyty's PeerPal

How Oakwood School used PeerPal to elevate their admissions experience

Oakwood School, a K-12 independent school in the Los Angeles area with about 800 students, needed a better way to manage its parent ambassador admissions program. Before using Gravyty’s PeerPal, the small admissions team relied on Google Sheets, forms, and shared drives to track volunteers and prospective families, which made matching families with the right ambassadors time-consuming, manual, and difficult to follow up on.

With Gravyty’s PeerPal, Oakwood centralized ambassador profiles, feedback, and outreach so staff could quickly connect families with the right parents, track engagement, and follow up after events. The platform helped the school manage more than 40 parent ambassadors, streamline matching and reporting, and collect more feedback forms than before, saving significant time and creating a more authentic admissions experience for prospective families.
