Case Study: Uncommon Schools achieves improved data accuracy and streamlined admissions with SchoolMint

From An Error-Prone Paper Based System To An Online User-Friendly Application

Uncommon Schools, serving 11 schools and 3,300 students across Boston, Rochester, and Troy, struggled with a paper-based application, lottery, and registration process that led to clerical errors and lost or incorrect student data. The network sought a user-friendly, centralized technology to capture and store student data electronically and provide an intuitive administrative workspace with a stronger audit trail, and selected SchoolMint’s online system to address these challenges.

SchoolMint implemented an online admissions and registration platform that minimized the paper trail, consolidated all student data in one place, and delivered an easier administrative workflow and improved auditability. As a result, Uncommon Schools reports higher data accuracy, reduced errors, significant time savings—especially in lottery management—and easier parent access to applications and real-time status updates thanks to SchoolMint.
