"Wonderful integration with Google Classroom!"

What do you like best? I love that I am able to grade assignments in Google Classroom, and easily sync them with Alma. This saves me so much time, and allows me more time to spend planning lessons for my students. What do you dislike? I wish there was the option to sync all classes with Google Classroom simultaneously. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Alma has reduced our costs for printing and mailing report cards. We now just email them to ...

"Experience with Alma"

What do you like best? Alma has a very progressive approach to education that follows the pedagogical evolution all educators go through. It is a very easy to use interface and the layout and organization is excellent. I was first drawn to the SIS because of the google classroom integration (which is a game changer creating a true LMS and SIS combined system that inform one another). Beyond this I can't say enough good things about the customer service. They are prompt, on the ball and so ...

"Great School Software System"

What do you like best? Alma is a very easy to use software for managing your school. It has both SIS (Student Information System) and LMS (Learning Management System) functionality. What do you dislike? I with that Alma would allow us to send SMS text messages to parents and staff for notifying them about delays and cancellations without having to add them all to the system as users. Recommendations to others considering the product: Alma is a fantastic solution. It has a lot of ...

"Alma: Perfect for a small or large school!"

What do you like best? We tried several different student information systems when our school opened--a self-developed system and also a very expensive system that has been in operation for many years. Alma by far was better than either. It requires no coding on the part of the school, is super easy for teachers to use, and is continually being improved based on the needs of the school. The price was also half of the cost of other systems and is by far the best product! What do you ...

"Love Alma"

What do you like best? I like how easy it is to access all my student's information and the ability to tag students for allergies, IEPs, or other important information What do you dislike? As a special education teacher, I get loaded onto every teacher's class so that I can access all my student's across the grades. It would be nice to have my own consolidated class list separate from the general education classes. Recommendations to others considering the product: It is definitely worth ...

"ALMA Review"

What do you like best? I love being able to use it as a communication tool with parents. They can see specifically which categories their students are struggling with and we can address issues with certain assignments as well. It's great so that report cards at the end of the term aren't a shock. What do you dislike? I wish the most recent assignments were closest to the student's names, instead of the oldest assignments. I find myself doing a lot of extra scrolling back and forth. What ...

"Incredibly Happy!"

What do you like best? Their customer service. I love how easy they are to work with and pleasant. They are more than happy to modify the program for us and are also quick to answer. What do you dislike? Some of the features. I wish we had some flexibility when creating reports and implementing some features we have requested. They are usually quick to fix complaints though and I see a future where we have exactly what we need/want. What problems are you solving with the product? What ...
