Case Study: Spokane Public Schools boosts student engagement with SchooLinks

Spokane Public Schools boosts career assessment completion by 559% with SchooLinks

Spokane Public Schools faced a significant challenge with low student engagement on its previous college and career readiness platform, Naviance. Students found the interface dated and difficult to use, which led to minimal adoption and created excessive manual work for counselors. The district's Director of College and Career Readiness, Scott Kerwien, sought a new solution to close access and opportunity gaps, turning to the vendor SchooLinks for its modern platform.

By implementing SchooLinks, the district provided students with an intuitive and engaging platform they were eager to use independently. The results were dramatic: one high school saw logins increase by 123.5%, and the number of career interest inventory assessments taken by students soared by 559% across the district. SchooLinks' solution led to a more than 500% increase in overall student engagement, achieving the district's goal of creating a college and career readiness platform that students actually wanted to use.
