Case Study: Washington Local Schools achieves greater data control and parent engagement with PowerSchool

Washington Local Schools - Customer Case Study

Washington Local Schools, a K–12 district in Ohio serving about 7,000 students across 11 schools and 850 staff, was frustrated after cycling through two inadequate student information systems in five years. The district faced loss of control over student data, limited accessibility, poor state reporting support, and low parent engagement, and needed a stable, long-term SIS from an industry leader that would reduce administrative burden and improve outcomes.

After selecting PowerSchool, the district implemented a fully web-based SIS with real-time data, strong Ohio state reporting (via META Solutions), PowerTeacher Pro digital gradebook, PowerScheduler, and seamless third‑party integrations. The solution restored control over data, streamlined state compliance and daily reporting, increased parent and student engagement through mobile access and timely feedback, saved staff time, and made scheduling and district-wide collaboration faster and more efficient.
