Kentucky public school system generates
positive results following implementation of PowerSchool Unified
Classroom® Schoology Learning
PowerSchool (NYSE: PWSC), the leading provider of cloud-based
software for K-12 education in North America, today announced
Kenton County School District (KCSD) in Fort Wright, Kentucky has
selected PowerSchool Unified Classroom® Schoology Learning as its
primary learning management system (LMS), which replaces Google
Classroom*, while still integrating with tools such as Google
Drive*. KCSD has particularly benefitted from Schoology Learning’s
integration with the district’s existing PowerSchool Unified
Classroom® Performance Matters, along with the platform’s ability
to show student standards mastery on its common assessments,
provide an age-appropriate interface for all learners (K-12), and
as a design-centered hub enabling easier maintenance and management
of lessons and other instructional materials.
“PowerSchool's Unified Classroom solutions have enhanced our
instruction and made it far more efficient,” said Joe Chavez,
Director of Instructional Technology, Kenton County School
District. “With Schoology Learning and Performance Matters, we now
have a unified hub of solutions providing our educators increased
visibility into student performance that allows them to make
real-time adjustments in order to help improve learning outcomes.
We are very excited to see how we will grow as a district utilizing
these two tools and believe they will lead to a bright future for
Kenton County School District.”
Prior to selecting PowerSchool, KCSD was searching for an LMS to
replace Google Classroom*, capable of housing all aspects of
learning in a connected environment, along with an assessment
solution to complement the LMS. At the time, KCSD teachers were
switching back and forth between Google Classroom*, various
assessment tools, and spreadsheets to manage assessment data, often
experiencing operational difficulties due to the substantial time
and effort required to manually facilitate all the data. Moreover,
data collection between the various tools used by the district was
not meeting students’ needs nor providing the high level of service
the district expected for staff and students, resulting in the
district turning to an alternate education technology provider.
Since integrating PowerSchool’s Unified Classroom® solution into
their operations, KCSD staff have improved their integrated
teaching and learning capabilities. Through Schoology Learning and
Performance Matters specifically, KCSD has been able to pinpoint
more student learning gaps, provide staff with real time insights
into student performance, and allow all KCSD stakeholders improved
visibility into student performance.
“We’re excited to provide Kenton County School District with
integrated education technology solutions to save them time,
provide best in class district-level solutions, and accelerate
academic gains through personalized learning,” said Maulik
Datanwala, Chief Operating Officer, PowerSchool. “By leveraging
these solutions to close learning gaps, Kenton County has been able
to move towards greater overall district success.”
KCSD is located in Fort Wright, Kentucky and is the fifth
largest school district within the state. The district serves over
14,000 Kenton County students and operates across 17 schools.
