Case Study: Pasadena ISD achieves streamlined districtwide operations and stronger state reporting with Skyward

District reflects on successful implementation, overcoming big district challenges, and strong state reporting as a result of thriving relationship

Pasadena ISD, a Texas district serving 51,000 students across 68 campuses, faced an SIS that required campus‑by‑campus data views and relied on third‑party systems for gradebook and health services after their prior vendor announced end‑of‑life. To address these large‑district challenges they selected Skyward’s Qmlativ Student Management Suite, seeking a partner that could support district‑level workflows and strong state reporting.

Skyward implemented Qmlativ with a dedicated project manager, on‑site trainers, a steering committee, the Knowledge Hub, and ongoing post‑go‑live support; the system consolidated data, eliminated the third‑party health office, and enabled district‑level processes that save significant time across 68 campuses. Skyward also improved reporting capabilities—Pasadena can schedule PEIMS extracts, handles its large summer submission in about two hours, and received timely COVID‑era attendance updates—delivering measurable operational and reporting efficiencies.
