A Hobsons Case Study
Boothbay Region High School, a mid-coast Maine public school where about 40% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch and historically roughly half matriculated to college, struggled with fragmented college-and-career planning and a low college application rate (52%). The guidance team sought a way to increase college-going, boost student engagement, and centralize resources and workflows.
After implementing Naviance, the school used college-search and application tools, task management, career assessments, a centralized scholarship database, and eDocs for electronic transcripts. In one year seniors applying to college rose from 52% to 94%; staff gained data-driven insight and tracking for student progress, scholarship access improved, and the school saved time and costs while increasing student engagement in postsecondary planning.
