One Application to Unite Them All: Organization Aids Schools with Centralized Enrollment System

Location: Kansas City, MO
Website: Nonprofit Website

The Challenge

With an overwhelming choice of more than 90 K-12 district, charter, and private schools, a nonprofit called Show Me KC Schools was formed to assist students and families in Kansas City Missouri with their search for the right educational environment.

The biggest hurdle: complicated school applications and procedures that varied with each and every school.

Navigating this process took time and resources, which not all families had. So Show Me KC Schools decided to offer families a common process.

The Solution

• Work with schools to employ a centralized enrollment system, SchoolMint Enroll.
• Use SchoolMint Enroll’s online enrollment management functionality to provide greater access to enrollment for all families.
• Use real-time data and information to communicate with students and families regarding their application and enrollment status.
• Manage and share data to fill open seats and guide future student enrollment decisions.

The Results

• Launched the SchoolAppKC through SchoolMint Enroll. SchoolAppKC is a simple online application available to families and participating schools.
• Optimized the enrollment management process so that families could use mobile phones and computers to enroll, which increased accessibility to families and created a more equitable enrollment process.
• Provided transparency in the process, increased communication, and deepened engagement with students and families.
• Shared data among schools to help under-enrolled schools identify new students.
• Increased stability in enrollment numbers by going through the process earlier in the spring, months before it would have occurred previously.
