Power School SIS is Top Preformer in Student Information Systems

What do you like best? Power Teacher Pro has been a great upgrade from the previous grade book. What do you dislike? The fields on the Demographics page is not reflective of many family structures. The contacts page, does solve that, but it is difficult to get my staff to go to Contacts. Recommendations to others considering the product: I have been a PS administrator/user since 1999-2000 and there have been many upgrades and changes. All the upgrades keep the end user ...

PowerSchool Admin Since 2002

What do you like best? I like the flexibility of the interface and the ability to customize pages. Their support is some of the best support that I have experienced in 30 + years of being in IT.

Our uptime is 5 9s What do you dislike? The attendance reporting and dashboard could more extensive. Recommendations to ...

Fast way to review student data

What do you like best? The ease of relocating student information is a great time saver. What do you dislike? At times the system freezes. Not more that 3 minutes at a go. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? We can access student demographics, parents phone numbers, etc. This is helpful when a student is sick and we need to call home as soon as possible.

Powerschool is advancing much faster than other SIS's

What do you like best? I have used Powerschool for quite sometime now and it seems to be the Cadillac model of all SIS's. It has been constantly changing with the times. Other SIS's I've used seem to be letting technology pass them up. What do you dislike? I can't think of anything so far I dislike, they are always open to suggestions and recommended updates come often. Recommendations to others considering the product: Make the jump well worth it at the end. What ...

PowerSchool

What do you like best? PowerSchool has so many areas that you can store student information/tasks. It makes life easier when you need data for internal purposes. What do you dislike? Being a Charter School, we have a unique set up/schedule. Sometimes it is hard to get answers from the PowerSchool support team because they aren't familiar with everything that PowerSchool has and what it can do. Most of the time we have to figure it out on our own. What problems are you solving ...
