Case Study: Marion City School District achieves reliable state reporting and seamless third-party integrations with PowerSchool

Marion City School District - Customer Case Study

Marion City Schools, a north-central Ohio district serving about 5,000 students across eight schools, faced an urgent technology challenge when its previous student information system was discontinued. The district needed a reliable SIS that would ensure accurate state reporting (critical to funding) and seamless integration with multiple third‑party education tools it already used.

Marion switched to PowerSchool, hosted and supported by META Solutions, to centralize student data, maintain full compliance with Ohio reporting requirements, and connect with existing third‑party systems. The district then added PowerSchool Assessment and the parent portal/mobile app, resulting in dependable state reporting, smoother integrations, greater administrative efficiency, stronger parent engagement, and improved teacher access to actionable student data.
