SchoolStatus Announces Strategic Investment From PSG

Investment To Support Product Innovation And Go-to-market Acceleration

SchoolStatus, a leading provider of SaaS education technology powering K-12 communications and student data analytics, announced that PSG, a leading growth equity firm partnering with middle-market software and technology-enabled services companies, has made a strategic investment in the company with the aim to accelerate growth and product innovation.

“We are excited for the opportunity to partner with PSG and build upon our success as a leader in K-12 student data and communications systems”

Founded in 2012, SchoolStatus provides teachers and administrators with easy access to student data and communication tools aimed to increase parent and student engagement. The platform aggregates data from various systems including assessments, benchmarks, student information and learning management systems, among others, and enables users to visualize and act on the data. Educators can discover trends in selected student subgroups or at the granular individual level and in the same system conduct two-way communications between school and home, all in a safe, secure and documented environment.

“We are excited for the opportunity to partner with PSG and build upon our success as a leader in K-12 student data and communications systems,” said Russ Davis, CEO & Founder of SchoolStatus. “We believe that we have found a trusted partner in PSG, which will allow us to continue to accelerate our growth trajectory, bring SchoolStatus’ solution to new markets, accelerate investment in our product capabilities and better support the parents, teachers and administrators using our platform. With SchoolStatus connecting all constituents of the school system, we believe that we are well positioned to help educators make data driven decisions, improve communications with parents and students and ultimately drive better educational outcomes. As schools continue to address learning loss and equity issues, we believe there is simply no better solution to get parents and teachers talking and on the same page.”

“In our view, SchoolStatus is helping to shape the future of K-12, integrating diverse school software systems and student data into a single, accessible hub that increases administrator, teacher, parent and student engagement,” said Rick Essex, Managing Director at PSG. “We believe SchoolStatus has built a unique platform that marries data and analytics with engagement technology that allows direct, two-way communication with parents and students. The software gives educators the data to identify issues and the tools to then engage with parents to address those issues. The value proposition to districts and schools is, in our view, enormous in its efficiency and its effectiveness. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to partner with Russ and the rest of the SchoolStatus team in their next phase of growth.”
