Case Study: Katy Independent School District achieves unified, real-time student data and a smooth SIS implementation with PowerSchool's eSchoolPLUS

Katy ISD Employs Best Practices in Selecting, Implementing SIS

Katy Independent School District, a public district in east Texas serving more than 65,000 students across nearly 60 schools, needed to replace disparate student information, gradebook, and parent-portal systems with a single integrated SIS to enable real‑time access, sharing, and analysis of student data and better support student achievement.

Katy ISD selected PowerSchool’s eSchoolPLUS and followed a proven, best-practice implementation—executive sponsorship, a cross‑functional project team, comprehensive training and support (including campus TAC coordinators and short how‑to videos), a phased summer pilot, and a continuous‑improvement process. The district met its timelines, delivered a one‑stop system that matured within a year, improved access to student data and analysis, and strengthened stakeholder engagement and ongoing system optimization.
