Case Study: San Marino Unified School District achieves 96% family participation and doubles donations with PowerSchool Enrollment

Reaching 96% family participation with smooth online enrollment & payment management

San Marino Unified School District, a top‑ranked California district serving over 3,000 students across four schools, faced an overwhelming paper-based enrollment and payment process that required 10–30 forms per student and manual distribution of family checks to 12 different organizations. The district needed a streamlined solution to collect updated demographic and emergency contact data while simplifying payment collection and allocation.

By implementing PowerSchool Enrollment with Payment Management, San Marino moved enrollment and payments online, automated allocation of funds to the correct organizations, and eliminated much of the administrative labor. The district achieved 96% family participation, doubled expected donations, improved data accuracy, and realized a positive ROI.
