Case Study: La Paz Community School achieves scalable, secure cloud-based student management and better parent engagement with QuickSchools

Student Information System for an IB School in Costa Rica

La Paz Community School, an IB World School in Playa Flamingo, Costa Rica, needed scalable, affordable administrative tools to support its growing bilingual pre K–12 community. Facing high costs and unreliable local servers, the school sought a secure, non-locally hosted student information system to manage grades, school fees, discipline forms and a highly customized 0–4 grading rubric; they turned to QuickSchools (QuickSchools.com) for a cloud-based solution.

QuickSchools implemented a cloud-hosted student information system, customized the grading framework to fit La Paz’s 0–4 rubric, and automated attendance reporting based on the school’s requests—work completed remotely and adjusted until the school was satisfied. The result: the entire school database is now hosted and managed through QuickSchools, parents can view grade reports easily with no complaints, administrative attendance tasks are automatically documented, support is available 24/7, and the system scaled seamlessly as La Paz expanded to a new campus and grew to over 200 students.
