Case Study: Riverview Community School District boosts college and career readiness with Xello

How Riverview Community School District Switched to an Intuitive Online Program That Empowers Students to Create Successful Futures

Riverview Community School District, a small district in Michigan, wanted to enhance its college and career readiness programs. They sought an effective EdTech solution to help guide students through their various pathways, including a robust career and technical education (CTE) program and dual enrollment opportunities. Their previous program was difficult to navigate, prompting a search for a better tool.

The district implemented Xello, an online program that empowers students to explore their future options. The solution was intuitive and user-friendly for both students and educators, integrating seamlessly with the district's PowerSchool student management system. Counselors used Xello's features like Matchmaker and lesson plans to help students make informed decisions about their futures, starting as early as sixth grade. The results included smoother career exploration, better student engagement, and valuable at-a-glance reporting for staff to track progress. The transition to Xello was smooth, and the tool successfully helped the district prepare its 3,200 students for college and career readiness.
