James Island Charter High School Creates Efficient Security Screening Experiences With the Help of Evolv
James Island Charter High School is a leader in many ways. It ranks in the top 5% of high schools in South Carolina. Its high school graduation rate is more than 11 points higher than the average for high schools in the state. Eight out of 10 graduating seniors pursue college degrees, compared to an average of only 69% of seniors from other high schools in South Carolina.
When it comes to the safety of students, administrators, teachers, staff, parents, and visitors, James Island also ranks at the top of the class. The school began using manual security procedures in 2018. Lines would form outside of the front and back atriums of the school that served as entrances, and the pileups of students at the entrances were a security risk in themselves. Through implementing our systems, James Island Charter High School was able to achieve the following and more:
- Helped to reduce school staff required to manage security screening by 40%—from 12 to 8
- Helped to reduce soft target of students waiting in backed-up lines to pass through security screening
- Helped to create efficient student flow through data analysis from Evolv Insights
