Case Study: Weslaco Independent School District achieves regulatory compliance and instant access to student data with PowerSchool eSchoolPLUS

Weslaco Chooses eSchoolPLUS for Regulatory Support, End-User Experience

Weslaco Independent School District, a south‑central Hidalgo County, Texas district serving about 19,000 students, needed to replace a legacy student information system that had reached end of life just as the Texas Education Agency moved to XML reporting standards. District leaders prioritized a replacement with strong state‑reporting capabilities and a user‑friendly interface to support administrators and educators.

Weslaco chose PowerSchool’s eSchoolPLUS and completed a fast, in‑house implementation with Professional Services support. The system delivered the regulatory tooling needed for ongoing state reporting (including support for HB5 graduation requirements) and a flexible, intuitive end‑user experience that lets administrators self‑serve data and gain timely insights to support student achievement; the district reports continued satisfaction three years later.
