About PowerSchool
PowerSchool is a cloud student information system for K-12 districts, the product parents and staff search when they need grades, attendance, schedules, or a portal login, a query that repeats every August in the stored Google Search window.
TechCrunch, reporting the Bain bid on June 7 2024, dates the company to a 1997 founding by Greg Porter and an Apple purchase in 2001 for $62 million in stock. ListEdTech traces later sales to Pearson Education in 2006 and Vista Equity Partners in 2015 for $350 million. A PowerSchool BusinessWire release dated October 1 2024 says Bain Capital closed a take-private at $22.80 per share, an enterprise value of about $5.6 billion, with the company remaining in Folsom, California, and Hardeep Gulati as chief executive at close. The firm's About page says more than 15,000 school organizations serving over 60 million students use the software, covering more than 80% of North American districts. People will still type this name in November. Winter break craters it, then January restores it.
What the time series shows
The stored Google Search series for powerschool runs 261 weeks from August 28 2021 at 73 to August 22 2026 at 81, a 1,820-day window whose only 100 print is September 3 2022, so this August 81 is a school-year ramp rather than a new high.
August is a repeating school-year mountain: 90 on August 19 2023, 94 on August 24 2024, 96 on August 23 2025, then 81 this week. The 2026 ramp is 49, 66, 80, 81. Last year ran 51, 79, 88, 96, then 88 on August 30. Summer still empties the query: 17 on July 4 2026 after 32 on June 20, then 23, 28, and 45. Winter breaks crater it harder, 12 on December 27 2025 and 10 on January 3 2026, then 45 the next week. growth_label is regular because the 30-day change of +80.0% sits under +100% and the 90-day change of +88.37% sits under +500%. speed_label is exponential because the latest 30-day absolute move (81 minus 45 equals 36) is more than twice the prior 30-day move (45 minus 32 equals 13). seasonality_label is high: the August-September peak repeats every year in the stored window. volatility_label is average; last-52 week-over-week sample standard deviation is 53.45% (n=52, skip 0). The four labels are derived from this series. Google Search data is the source behind every percentage on this page.
