Paramount Unified School District (PUSD) is located in Paramount, CA, serving 15,637 K-12 students across 17 schools. The district employs 2,400 teachers and 1,900 staff, and supports a predominantly Spanish-speaking community, with over 88% of students classified as English as a Second Language (ESL) learners.
When Dr. Ruth Pérez became Superintendent in 2015, Paramount Unified faced limited access to digital tools and a rapidly increasing number of applications. Managing multiple usernames and passwords created barriers to efficient technology use. The district needed a single sign-on (SSO) solution to simplify access for students and teachers while addressing the needs of its multilingual community. Paramount Unified sought a tool that would enhance learning, accelerate engagement, and provide equitable access to resources in other languages.
LaunchPad streamlined access to the district’s growing library of digital resources, allowing students, teachers, and parents to connect seamlessly with classroom applications through a single login. The ability to customize the platform in other languages helped ensure accessibility for the district's diverse population.
ClassLink’s impact extended beyond the classroom. Students and teachers gained more instructional time, reducing delays caused by login issues. Additionally, ClassLink Analytics enabled administrators to track digital tool usage, identifying which resources were most effective. This data-driven approach allowed the district to optimize its investments in educational technology.
Our district is very data driven. ClassLink and the analytics it provides helps us monitor what’s being used and then associate usage to outcomes.
