Case Study: Torrington Public Schools achieves 83% five-year savings ($366,000) and smoother state reporting with PowerSchool Cloud Hosting

How cloud hosting is saving Torrington Public Schools money and time, and improving security and state reporting

Torrington Public Schools, a Connecticut district serving nearly 4,800 students with just four full‑time technology staff, was burdened by aging on‑premises servers and a student information system (SIS) it couldn’t keep current. The district’s small IT team struggled with updates, maintenance, licensing and security, which led to failed state reporting and delayed funding from the Connecticut State Department of Education.

After a cost analysis, Torrington moved its SIS and student registration to PowerSchool Cloud Hosting. The district realized an 83% projected five‑year savings (about $366,000), restored accurate state reporting, gained stronger security and scalability, and freed IT staff to focus on other district technology needs.
