Hero is a versatile tool that is widely used in schools to manage various aspects of school culture and student behavior. One of its key use cases is the management of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports, discipline, and accountability systems. Through the use of Hero, teachers and administrators are able to track and examine data related to student behavior, allowing them to address issues such as tardiness, attendance, uniform violations, and other behaviors that impact the overall school environment.
Teachers have reported significant improvements in student behavior since implementing Hero. In fact, they have assigned 50% fewer detentions in the third year compared to the first year, indicating a positive shift in behavior among students. Hero is also used as a school-wide incentive program to reward good behavior. Points are earned by students for exhibiting positive behaviors, which can then be exchanged for rewards and prizes. This has not only encouraged students to strive for better behavior but has also created a more positive school culture.
Furthermore, Hero is highly valued by teachers as an efficient tool for tracking basic behaviors like tardies and uniform violations. The user-friendly app makes it easy for educators to input and monitor these behaviors, freeing up valuable time that can be spent on other educational tasks. Additionally, Hero is implemented at both individual schools and entire school districts with the goal of improving behavior, addressing attendance issues, and creating a standardized system for tracking and managing student conduct.
Overall, through its comprehensive features and ease of use, Hero has proven to be an effective solution for schools looking to promote positive behaviors, reduce disciplinary issues, and foster a conducive learning environment for their students.
Valuable tool for acknowledging positive student behavior site-wide: Many users have found Hero to be a valuable tool for recognizing and acknowledging positive student behavior across their school. It ensures that all students, not just the problem kids, are acknowledged and appreciated.
Great feature for tracking tardies sitewide: Several reviewers have praised Hero's ability to track tardies sitewide and pair it with daily tardy sweeps. This feature helps prevent students from slipping through the cracks and highlights the impact and cost of being late to class.
User-friendly interface: Users appreciate Hero's user-friendly interface, which makes it easy to navigate and use. The self-explanatory design allows teachers, administrators, and parents to quickly access classroom data, track behaviors, and monitor progress.
Streamlining Point Awarding Process: Some users have expressed the need for streamlining the process of awarding points on the desktop website, as they feel it currently requires too many clicks. They suggest that the point-awarding process be made more efficient and user-friendly.
Lack of Seating Chart Option on Mobile App: Several users have suggested adding a seating chart option on the mobile app to make behavior tracking easier. This feature would allow teachers to easily track and record student behaviors in real-time.
Need for Improved Data Report Detail: Users have mentioned that while they appreciate having access to data reports, they feel that there is room for improvement in terms of the level of detail provided. They would like to see more comprehensive and customizable data reports that can provide deeper insights into student behavior and progress.

(1-5 of 5)Hero really is a lifesaver!
- The customer service is fast and friendly, and there is always someone available to meet a need.
- The interface of the platform is very self-explanatory and user-friendly.
- Hero is always seeking feedback and making improvements based on user needs.
- There is still room for growth with the level of detail in the data reports.
- Students have regular issues in remembering passwords and accessing their accounts.
- They recently eliminated Homeroom, an online user community that rewarded us for participating. I got a lot of great ideas there, so this is unfortunate.
- 85% reduction in tardiness.
- 50% reduction in detentions assigned.
- 60% reduction in suspension.
Classroom Management Tool - as effective as you make it!
- Hero provides various ways to be able to register the targeted behaviors.
- Hero provides a user-friendly online interface.
- Hero will tailor the program to meet your group's needs.
- Clear interfacing app for entering points.
- Hero had the Hero Homeroom where teachers could collaborate and receive rewards but that was discontinued. I think that a similar reward system for those who are supposed to be inputting information would be helpful, where consistency for the required input is rewarded. For example: teachers were to be recording points for all their students every period every day - if they received points for completing their input & could then choose to spend those points on rewards that would help encourage participation to make it more successful overall.
- Too hands-off in making sure that implementation is as successful as possible.
- Too techie for non-tech savvy people.
- Teachers that used it with fidelity had a useful tool for classroom management.
- The more teachers using it with fidelity the better the school's behavior was overall.
- The reward system that is implemented can encourage or discourage the overall buy-in by all involved.
If we are talking about the support of the customers for the Hero program, I would have to say that in my experience it diminished each year. At our school at the beginning there was a lot of participation, when we had an administrator who was excited about it and worked at helping the students buy-in. As the years went by, the teachers who found it helpful in their classroom management continued to use it with fidelity. The new teachers who were not familiar with it were not buying in because there was no longer an administrator who was excited about the possibilities. It became just one more thing that the new teachers had to learn and it was not a priority and so it became less effective each year.
Great tracking tool for charter schools
- Tracking basic behaviors.
- Rewarding students in the moment with points.
- Phone app makes scanning student IDs very fast, which saves time for instruction.
- Sometimes the phone app freezes on an iPhone, and I have to close out of it before scanning another ID.
- I also wish there was a way to export all rosters into an Excel file under the behavior tracking tab.
- Hero has made pulling behavior reports very easy for Deans of Students.
- Hero has also made tracking teacher actions with it very easy. We can see which teachers gave which particular demerit.
Hero K12 - User Friendly!

HERO
- Students receive points for being on time, therefore they are never late.
- Students receive points for being in uniform, therfore we know who is a part of our campus.
- Sometimes HERO does not update students who have left the school or who have entered. So teachers have to input manually. That can be improved.
- HERO has had a positive ROI because negative behavior has decreased.
