A PowerSchool Case Study
Responsive Education Solutions (ResponsiveEd), the largest charter management organization in Texas, faced a recruitment and enrollment challenge as it pursued aggressive expansion. Needing scalability, deep data integration with its student information system, bilingual support, strong reporting and ongoing development, ResponsiveEd chose not to build in-house and instead sought a proven enrollment partner.
In 2014 ResponsiveEd implemented PowerSchool Registration, launching a centralized online system that enrolled 7,500 students across 29 schools and streamlined family-facing registration (document uploads, conditional SmartForms, English/Spanish communications) and back-office workflows (auto‑tagging, data integration). The result was a 24% increase in first‑day attendance, faster identification of students with special needs or missing data, elimination of weeks of manual entry, reduced labor costs, and improved recruitment and compliance.
