Case Study: Westmont CUSD 201 achieves meaningful growth with Otus

Westmont CUSD 201 cuts grading and assessment chaos with Otus in 5 years

Westmont CUSD 201, a school district in Illinois, faced the challenge of making grading more meaningful as it transitioned to standards-based grading. Before 2019, their systems were fragmented across multiple platforms, making it inefficient to connect instruction, feedback, and student data. They adopted the Otus platform to create a unified solution for this problem.

The Otus solution provided one home for grades, assessment, and data, which became essential during pandemic remote learning. Post-pandemic, it enabled weekly, data-driven instructional adjustments and targeted student interventions. The results included a strong culture of collaboration in teacher PLCs, meaningful student self-reflection, and teachers saving time using features like AI Insights. Westmont’s five-year journey with Otus established lasting habits for measurable and meaningful student growth.
