Fourth largest school district in Maryland sees
increased operational and performance enhancements from using
multiple PowerSchool solutions.
PowerSchool (NYSE: PWSC), the leading provider of cloud-based
software for K-12 education, today announced that Anne Arundel
County Public Schools (AACPS) continues to choose PowerSchool
solutions to help digitize its operations. AACPS utilizes 13
solutions that are part of PowerSchool’s Unified Classroom, Unified
Communities, Unified Insights, Unified Talent, and PowerSchool’s
student information system, PowerSchool SIS, and Enrollment, to
help unify, track and facilitate student, teacher, and school
district performance through a cohesive platform.
“As one of the largest school systems in Maryland, PowerSchool’s
solutions have streamlined our ability to manage the high volume of
student, teacher, and administrative information throughout our
network,” said Anna Harding, Accountability Data Administrator,
Anne Arundel County Public Schools. “PowerSchool has been a trusted
district partner for years and continues to provide our employees
with effective tools to help monitor, track and assess student and
teacher performance. We’re appreciative of PowerSchool’s ongoing
support and look forward to our continued partnership.”
Among the solutions utilized by AACPS, staff members
specifically cited PowerSchool Performance Matters and PowerSchool
SIS as very helpful for day-to-day operations. Performance Matters
enables educators to administer social and emotional learning
surveys and assessments in order to pinpoint learning gaps and
track student needs. Similarly, PowerSchool SIS has streamlined
AACPS’ efforts related to tracking students’ engagement in clubs,
sports, and organizations. Further, staff noted PowerSchool's
ability to aggregate all student and teacher information into a
comprehensive interface has eliminated several pain points.
Prior to partnering with PowerSchool, academic performance,
extracurricular engagement, and employment records were manually
managed through PDFs and physical paper copies, which created
operational inefficiencies. Following PowerSchool’s integration
into AACPS’ operations, the district benefitted from PowerSchool’s
SIS and unified solutions by aggregating student, teacher, and
school district key performance indicators into a comprehensive,
easy-to-use platform. Additionally, AACPS is using PowerSchool
products to measure student relationship building and academic
achievement, along with workforce diversity and broader employment
efforts.
“Anne Arundel County Public Schools’ achievements and use of our
integrated solutions is a prime example of the impact they can have
within a school system,” said Maulik Datanwala, PowerSchool Chief
Operating Officer. “It’s partnerships such as this that fuel our
passion to continue bringing industry-leading solutions to the
forefront.”
Located in Anne Arundel County, Maryland, AACPS is the fourth
largest school district in the state with 135 total schools. The
school district provides the community with a Pre-K through 12th
grade curriculum, which educates 83,000+ total students. Across
AACPS' network, each school system has internet access throughout
their facilities and provides one instructional device (e.g.,
desktop, laptop, tablet, etc.) for each student for regular
learning activity.
