Case Study: Spokane Public Schools lays the groundwork for policy change with SchooLinks

Spokane Public Schools boosts dual credit access by 1-2% with SchooLinks

Spokane Public Schools faced the challenge of preparing for and implementing large-scale legislative and policy changes, which often strain district resources and are applied unevenly across student cohorts. The district needed a proactive strategy to ease transitions for staff and students amidst these inevitable changes. They partnered with SchooLinks, utilizing its college and career readiness platform to help build a foundational data-forward culture.

The solution involved using SchooLinks to break down overarching initiatives into manageable, data-informed goals. This allowed the district to provide clear, actionable guidance to counselors and to track student data effectively to measure impact and ensure equity. As a result, Spokane Public Schools was able to proactively adapt to changes, such as new graduation requirements, and could focus on strategic objectives like increasing FAFSA completion and dual credit opportunities for underrepresented students. SchooLinks served as the essential vehicle for this data analysis and student-centered planning.
