Case Study: Amarillo Independent School District achieves data-driven hiring of educators who drive student growth with PowerSchool Unified Talent (Candidate Assessment)

Amarillo Independent School District - Customer Case Study

Amarillo Independent School District (AISD), which serves more than 33,000 students across 55 schools, faced the recurring end‑of‑year challenge of filling vacancies—and needed an objective way to identify teacher and principal candidates who would actually drive student growth.

AISD implemented PowerSchool Unified Talent Candidate Assessment, a research‑based tool that measures the skills, cognitive abilities and leadership qualities linked to effectiveness; assessment scores give principals and hiring teams actionable data to pinpoint higher‑impact candidates, resulting in stronger hires and better prospects for student learning.
