Case Study: Charles Wright Academy unifies school operations with Veracross

A Primary Database of Record for Charles Wright Academy

Charles Wright Academy, an independent day school in Tacoma, WA, needed a better way to connect its disconnected software systems and replace a clunky, underused student information system. Before switching, staff relied on manual and often inaccurate workflows for tasks like attendance, had limited access because of license restrictions, and lacked a primary database of record across departments. Veracross was chosen to help bring the school’s information together in one system.

With Veracross as its primary database of record, Charles Wright Academy now uses the platform across academics, attendance, billing, admissions, registrars, communications, and after-school programs. Veracross gave the school greater visibility into student progress and department activity, improved communication tools, and faster, easier reporting and data querying. While no specific numerical metrics were provided, the school reported tighter data management and a much more efficient replacement for manual processes.
