The Challenge

As a large district providing students with a variety of magnet schools and specialized programs, Baltimore County Public Schools was in search of a means to streamline the application process for the district.

The goal was twofold: first, decrease the workload of administrators; and second, migrate to a system that would provide a more efficient, accessible process for students and families submitting applications to the district’s magnet schools and other special programs.

The Solution

• Identify enrollment deficiencies within the district and research online enrollment management systems to meet those needs.
• Manage student data in one efficient, easily accessible system — SchoolMint Enroll — to streamline the enrollment process.
• Provide parents and guardians with instant information about student placements, magnet programs, and application status.
• Make data-based enrollment decisions in real time for speciality programs to help families find the best placement for their students.

The Results

• Implemented a mobile component to the application process, which allows parents to submit and manage student applications online from their smartphone or tablet.
• Provided address verification to inform parents about district transportation availability for each selected program or school choice.
• Communicated real-time updates with parents and guardians through SchoolMint Enroll’s online student application and lottery system, keeping families informed of their application and lottery placement status throughout the enrollment process.
