Case Study: KIPP Jacksonville Public Schools doubles enrollment and secures $1.1M in funding with SchoolMint

Keeping Student Enrollment Steady During the Pandemic Using Online Enrollment Tools

KIPP Jacksonville Public Schools, a growing charter network, struggled to manage rapid enrollment growth using paper applications, a complex lottery, and a single spreadsheet across multiple campuses. In 2017 KIPP Jacksonville Public Schools turned to SchoolMint and adopted SchoolMint’s online enrollment tools to replace manual processes and better scale admissions.

SchoolMint implemented a bespoke online enrollment platform that automated applications, streamlined lottery placement, enabled texting for outreach, centralized files, and supported re-registration and contact tracking. The results were significant: total enrollment grew from 1,154 (2018–2019) to 2,103 (2021–2022), KIPP Jacksonville Public Schools added over 900 students during 2020, achieved roughly 2x enrollment, secured about $1.1M in added funding, and opened a new campus.
