PowerSchool develops cloud-based software for K-12 education across North America, serving over 60 million students through more than 18,000 districts, schools, and other education organisations. Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Folsom, California, the company employs over 3,500 professionals and operates a platform that provides real-time access to grades, attendance, assignments, and communications for educators, administrators, parents, and students.
The company's core offerings include PowerSchool SIS (Student Information System), Schoology Learning (a learning management system), Unified Classroom, enrollment management solutions, and data analytics tools. Its platform enables schools to track and manage educational workflows from central offices to classrooms, while providing real-time data access to support decision-making. Recent product development has focused on AI-powered features and connected intelligence to help schools leverage data more effectively.
PowerSchool emphasises data security and compliance as core commitments, though the company experienced a data breach in December 2024 that affected certain customer information. The platform is designed to support personalised learning experiences and connects the broader educational ecosystem across multiple stakeholder groups.
