Case Study: San Lorenzo Valley Unified School District achieves clean, stable data and increased parent engagement driving student growth with PowerSchool

California’s 1st PowerSchool District Thrives with Clean Data, Parent Engagement, and Student Growth

San Lorenzo Valley Unified School District, a Northern California district serving about 3,000 students, was the first public California district to adopt PowerSchool SIS. The district needed clean, stable student data, stronger parent engagement, and an edtech partner that could grow with its changing reporting and operational needs.

By implementing PowerSchool SIS and PowerSchool Enrollment—and customizing screens and reports for CALPADS and day-to-day workflows—the district moved from paper processes to a secure digital system. The result: accurate, easily accessible data across the district, streamlined enrollment, higher parent engagement, improved administrative productivity, and measurable gains in student support and growth.
