SchoolStatus Sees Significant Business Momentum in 2021 Fueled by Growing Demand for Unified K12 Analytics, Communications, and Workflow Platforms
RIDGELAND, Miss., Dec. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — SchoolStatus, a leading facilitator of data-informed communications between school and home, today shared new business milestones demonstrating strong company momentum, customer growth and validation, and prominent industry recognition in 2021.
In the past 12 months, SchoolStatus grew their base of district partners by 24% across eleven states. Educators within these school districts shared more than 250 million messages and conducted nearly 50,000 hours of phone conversations with student families in 2021, an increase of more than 30% over 2020.
Customer retention and validation were also strong with more than 95% of SchoolStatus customers renewing their commitment to the platform in 2022, and a 4.9 out of 5 stars from reviews posted on G2, the world’s largest independent software and services review platform.
Additionally, SchoolStatus strengthened its position in the K12 communications sector with strategic funding from PSG announced in July, and increasing recognition as a leader and innovator in K12 communication and parent engagement, including an EdTech Digest Cool Tools Award and selection as a CODiE Finalist in the categories of Best Collaborative Solution for Teachers and Best Data Management Solution.
This continued momentum speaks to the tremendous market opportunity for the SchoolStatus unified data communications platform, driven by the accelerated demand for increased communication and engagement with parents and more accessible communications platforms.
“Over the past year, SchoolStatus was well positioned to support districts and schools with communications challenges stemming from the COVID pandemic, during which student family communication and engagement was paramount. As a result, we saw tremendous interest in our platform,” said Russ Davis, CEO and founder of SchoolStatus. “Over the next year we will look for this momentum to continue, as more schools realize the benefits of more meaningful communication between school and home and implement solutions to enable this. We look forward to continued growth opportunities as we expand our platform with new features and capabilities.”
