Case Study: Hatboro-Horsham School District achieves real-time data, stronger parent engagement, and streamlined business practices with PowerSchool

Hatboro-Horsham School District Real-Time Data, Parent Engagement, and Improved Best Business Practices

Hatboro‑Horsham School District, a suburban Philadelphia district serving about 5,000 students, needed a modern student information system to provide real‑time student data and a parent portal. Their legacy SIS lacked live updates, parent access, consistent data across departments, flexible tracking, and reliable state reporting, which made communication and administration inefficient.

By adopting PowerSchool SIS the district centralized student records, enabled minute‑to‑minute attendance and a real‑time gradebook, and launched a parent/mobile portal. The result was faster, more accurate state reporting, seamless integration with third‑party tools, major time savings for staff, strong user adoption, and improved family engagement and student accountability.
