What is K-12 Education System?

The K-12 education system stands for ‘from kindergarten to 12th grade’.

Essentially Salesforce K-12 is an elementary school (Grades K–5), middle school (Grades 6–8), and high school (Grades 9–12).

Every state has its education department and laws regarding finance, hiring school personnel, student attendance, and curriculum, which creates an administrative burden for school principals and district officers.

And as we become more reliant on digital communication, schools are finding that their need for a reliable CRM for K-12 education continues to grow.

We all know that Salesforce has helped businesses worldwide, be it insurance, finance, non-profit, healthcare, and more.

But there is another industry where Salesforce is paving the way for our future generation: Education.
