Case Study: Poway Unified School District improves college and career readiness with Xello

Poway USD Switched to Xello for Robust CCR Programming with Immensely Improved Customer Service

Poway Unified School District, a public school district in San Diego, was using a college and career readiness (CCR) solution that offered poor customer service and was not a comprehensive program. They needed a new vendor to provide a robust tool that would help students explore their strengths and interests to prepare for their futures. After reviewing several alternatives, they selected Xello as their new CCR solution.

Xello provided a holistic platform for career and postsecondary exploration, which was immediately well-received for its user-friendly design. The district cited Xello's immensely improved and responsive customer service as a key benefit. The results included high engagement from students across 14 schools and the ability to use student data from Xello to effectively tailor career events and opportunities, ensuring all students had equitable access to CCR resources.
