Case Study: Lamar Consolidated Independent School District achieves streamlined CCMR planning and college applications with SchooLinks

Lamar Consolidated Independent School District streamlines CCMR planning for 44.5K students with SchooLinks

Lamar Consolidated Independent School District (CISD), a large and growing district in Texas, needed a cohesive system to expand opportunities and strengthen postsecondary readiness for its over 44,000 students. Their challenge was to equip every student with the knowledge and skills to pursue meaningful opportunities after graduation. To meet this challenge, they utilized SchooLinks, a college and career readiness platform.

By implementing SchooLinks, Lamar CISD streamlined its college application process, boosted financial aid access, and empowered students with early career exploration tools. The solution provided data-driven insights for staff and a user-friendly hub for student planning. The results included significant growth in scholarship applications and awards, improved FAFSA completion tracking, and more students taking ownership of their postsecondary plans. Anthony Yim, the district's CCMR Coordinator, affirmed that SchooLinks provides the best return on investment for supporting students' futures.
