Case Study: Sequoia Choice achieves data-driven MTSS support and stronger student outcomes with PowerSchool

How Sequoia Choice Took MTSS from Guesswork to Data-Driven Support in an Online Environment

Sequoia Choice, an Arizona K–12 online charter school, needed a scalable way to manage MTSS after its intervention staff was cut by 65% and student support could no longer depend on spreadsheets or guesswork. As a fully virtual school serving more than 2,000 students statewide, it wanted better visibility into engagement, progress, and intervention effectiveness.

PowerSchool implemented PowerSchool MTSS and PowerSchool Student Analytics to centralize intervention tracking, student plans, attendance, notes, and progress monitoring in one system. The result was more consistent practices, clearer data-driven decisions, reduced workload, and faster student movement through Tier 2 based on progress rather than gut feelings, helping Sequoia Choice improve efficiency and support more students with fewer staff.
