Veracross is our one-stop shop for managing our student, faculty, and parent information. They enter the database at their first inquiry and travel seamlessly from inquiry to applicant to student to alumnus. Flexible online portals allow us to enable parents to gather needed information as well as pay bills and manage permissions online. Veracross is used by all departments in our organization--student billing, accounting, admissions, learning management system, academic documents and philanthropy. We also utilize their API for a few home-grown web apps.
- We have our own account manager who knows our school and its configuration
- Parent, student, and faculty portals (as well as news portals) are designed and configured by us--we can control what content goes where
- Infinitely configurable queries, which meet all of our needs for extracting data
- We would like to see more functionality in the learning management system
- We would like the ability to order the admissions files for our online reviewers

We use Veracross to manage all of the records for our school. For Schools, SIS are our equivalent of an ERP system. Veracross is immensely powerful and versatile. It also allows users and parents to gain access from anywhere as it is hosted with AWS instead of the older style on-prem systems.
- Student records.
- Donor records.
- Accounting module can feel overly cumbersome.
- No campus store module.
Veracross is used organization-wide by about 300 employees. We use it as a learning management tool across the organization. It helps with scheduling, class rosters, grade reporting, and budgeting. Veracross allows me to access student information through the directory, tells me my class schedule, and tells me the class schedule of any student within the school. Veracross also has a parent portal for parents to log in to see their child's schedules, their class information, grades, and the directory. Veracross is intuitive to learn and to figure out.
- Streamlined and easy to read design
- Simple and intuitive ways to contact entire classes and groups
- Grade reporting is simple and automatically saves any comments I've written as I write
- The main school calendar is synced with Veracross' home page calendar to assist in planning
- Veracross does not allow teachers to see report cards from previous years.
- There is no functionality to email multiple classes the same thing. I need to click on each class to send the same parent email.
- It is difficult to find how many times a student has been absent or tardy within the trimester or year. A significant amount of digging is required.
Our school uses Veracross for faculty, parent, and student portals. Teachers can take attendance, post assignments, record grades, and make announcements. Parents can view the calendar, check students grades and reports, and get important messages from the teachers. Students rely on it as a way to check homework assignments and current class grades. Veracross keeps track of the school calendar and school directory as well as other things.
- Grades-Real time data about grades for students, parents, and teachers.
- Directory-Easy to find information about students and faculty in one place.
- Calendar-Easy to check on school events and other activities.
- Homework assignments-I wish that you could duplicate assignments for different sections of a class. As it is now, you have to enter it separately.
- The library feature is difficult for some teachers to manage.
- The class website isn't as easy to use as some other programs.
Our whole organization uses Veracross. Veracross is a powerful tool that holds our student, family, faculty, and staff data. We can use it for mailings and labels or use it to look up current contact info for a family when needed. We can pull student schedules, grades, comments, and transcript information.
- It seems to have an unlimited amount of storage.
- There is almost nothing it won't do.
- My biggest concern is that it is not particularly intuitive so it can be hard to remember how to do things you don't do often.
