PowerSchool is a great product!

What do you like best? We like the things PowerSchool allows us to do. Reports we can write, lunch account capabilities, communication options for parents, etc. What do you dislike? Only one I know of is a glitch when we added Unified Classroom, it didn't want to synch the parent accounts which was a nightmare at registration time. I hope not all schools experience this issue. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? We are able to ...

What do you dislike? PS Enrollment is not very good from an admissions standpoint. communication capabilities and administrative back end is very clunky. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? PowerSchool helps keep parents and students up to ...

PS Enrollment: New User

What do you like best? So far the system appears to user friendly. I am excited to have our enrollment needs and SIS working together as one instead of having to import our information in PS from another system. What do you dislike? I would like to see the family feature evolve. Right now families can not be grouped by their ID's until they are in PS. Also, the contact page also seems to be in the beginning phase so I am nervous to see how our student information translates into ...

Tech support is Awesome!!

What do you like best? If I ever have any issues, PowerSchool Tech Support has been great to work with. It is such a complex system, but they have very knowledgeable people in place to help.

Recommendations to others considering the product: If you would like longitudinal data for your company or school district, PowerSchool is an awesome option that is well worth the money.

A "Small" view of PowerSchool

What do you like best? Import and export features are best for me. For example, yearly locker assignments are a breeze using this feature. What do you dislike? Demographic and contact information pages are not up to date, requiring us to create custom pages for what seems like basic information (cell phones, etc.) Recommendations to others considering the product: You will be happy with PowerSchool. It isn't perfect, but I am able to complete my work and I fully trust ...
