Cedar Hill Independent School District, located in Texas, serves 8,000 students and employs 1,500 faculty and staff. The district continually seeks to optimize its instructional technology investments to best support student learning.
With a growing number of digital tools, Cedar Hill ISD struggled to determine which apps were truly benefiting students and teachers. The district lacked clear usage data, making it difficult to justify software costs or decide where to invest in professional development. Without insight into app engagement, administrators faced tough budget decisions without concrete evidence to support them.
ClassLink Analytics provided Cedar Hill ISD with real-time data on app usage, giving administrators the ability to track which tools were actively supporting instruction. Now, the district can make informed decisions about which apps to keep, which require more training, and which can be phased out—eliminating guesswork and saving money. With 24/7 access to login and web-app reports, district leaders can confidently present data-backed recommendations. No longer will meetings be filled with uncertainty about software usage; instead, Cedar Hill ISD now has the insight needed to ensure its digital resources provide real value to students and teachers.
With ClassLink, we’re able to see what applications are actually being used. We don’t want to spend money on applications we aren’t using; so, there are reporting tools that show how many clicks, or how many sign-ons there are for each app.
