It's been quite a ride
What do you like best? The system is really intuitive, there's logic behind most of its design What do you dislike? Some areas make no sense. Object Reports (and all its types) feel broken from its conception. I believe there should be an easier way to work with them. I shouldn't need to purchase a license for a 3rd party software to be able to work comfortable. Recommendations to others considering the product: Be organized with your data. That helped us a lot. What ...

What do you like best? PowerSchool is always evolving and adding new features. They have solutions and resources for new programs that are created. What do you dislike? Level 1 tech support is not educated enough on the system, often leaving you with issues unresolved. I also wish there was a way to create folders for files, reports etc to make filtering easier. Recommendations to others considering the product: I would like to see folders created for documents that are ...

There are better options out there
What do you like best? What's good about PowerSchool is that it can be a very turn key, cookie cutter solution. It's also its biggest weakness. What do you dislike? Technical support is awkward with regional groups that can help with some things, but other things need to be elevated to PowerSchool. It costs an arm and a leg to get anything customized. Recommendations to others considering the product: It's a decent solution for and SIS. Nothing fantastic. Simple, easy to ...

What do you like best? Powerschool can be used by parents to view student grades from their phones. What do you dislike? There is no Android App for teachers to use their phones. Sometimes the program does not load properly on parent phones and displays incorrect or zeros for the grades. Recommendations to others considering the product: It is a relatively good program that does what we need it to do. I do not know how versatile it is for larger school districts. What ...

Powerschool is mostly user friendly and easy to navigate for most.
What do you like best? The best thing about Powerschool are the numerous reports available. What do you dislike? I dislike the fact that you have to be a computer programmer to get a report card, or a transcript out of powerschool. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? The Reports are easy to run and read, it makes state reporting fast and accurate.

Way ahead of the curve
What do you like best? PoswerSchool is way ahead of the curve in having their product in compliance with new Arizona state requirements. PS is ready, the state of AZ isn't! PS is better able to answer the ins & outs of submitting the info than the state itself! I was in a webinar earlier this week on the new CTE reporting requirements. I got more from what Dan Chambers said than anything the Dept. of Ed people had to say. What do you dislike? Sometimes finding what I need help with ...

They Stand By Their Product
What do you like best? I have never seen a company that stand by their product as much as PowerSchool. Through PowerSchool University, User Groups, Certification Programs, the PowerSchool Insider, Knowledgebase, and additional trainings, they give you every tool you need to be successful with PowerSchool SIS. I am impressed with how dynamic it is and how the product can be tailored to your district's specific needs through plugins and customizations. I highly recommend PowerSchool as a ...

What do you like best? I like that you can use PowerSchool for many different uses like attendance and grading. What do you dislike? That many times powerschool is down for maintenance.

PS is super user friendly!
What do you like best? What I like most about PS is how user friendly it is, it is easy to navigate, pull reports, make labels, and easy to make changes. What do you dislike? What I would hope would change is that if we are importing information using a different system, that all information would be imported into PS smoothly. We used a different system to import student information, and I feel both companies should have communicated in order for this process to run smoother for ...
