Customer Testimonial
“Because the Raftr platform meets students where they are, we are seeing great adoption and deep engagement. Between our ability to engage in two-way communication with students and their opportunity to connect with each other, they are quickly developing deep relationships with the school and their peers.”
I am overall quite satisfied with the early data and we’ll use this information to make decisions for next year.”
