Case Study: Dunecrest American School achieves unified data and personalized learning with PowerSchool

Connecting the Dots Across Data, Curriculum, and Community at Dunecrest American School

Dunecrest American School, part of the Esol Education network, was struggling with disconnected systems, limited workflow integration, and no holistic view of student progress, teacher experience, or parent experience. The school needed a better way to consolidate data, improve decision-making, and support personalized learning, and chose PowerSchool for its SIS, Curriculum & Instruction capabilities, and broader edtech ecosystem.

PowerSchool implemented a unified platform that brought data, gradebook, MTSS, and student workflows into one central system, with customization to better fit Dunecrest’s American curriculum model. The impact included easier access to analytics, stronger progress monitoring, reduced server infrastructure costs, and a 25% increase in external assessments over two years, driven by better visibility for teachers and students.
