Overall Satisfaction with Blackbaud K-12 “ON” Solutions

It is used across the entire school by all departments. It serves as the core database for all departments, and provides our educational solutions for grading, advising, teaching and learning. We also use it for communication including web site content/design.
  • We love managing communications from one tool, and the ease of integration of content with the web site. We have been able to manage communications with very few employees involved.
  • Our students, parents and teachers love the onCampus LMS, teaching and learning environment. It provides consistency for students across all of their classes, clubs, and campus groups.
  • The sign-in landing pages for our LMS provide space for current news/information for parents, and schedules/classes for students and teachers. All find it very easy to navigate and information is clearly displayed.
  • General users are not at ease finding data, running lists and reports. They have been somewhat streamlined, but limited in capability.
  • Display of transcripts and report cards is not as flexible as needed, but that is coming down the pipe.
  • Pushpage tool needs updating, also coming down the pipe.
  • At a small school where we wear multiple hats, it's been the perfect solution. I often act as webmaster, grading manager, scheduling manager, teacher, and communications. Having everything on the same system is essential for us.
  • I am also the only one supporting all of this, so I only have to know one system.
I love the chat solution. But it gets frustrating lately when they reply with links to articles instead of helping directly.
Some schools are too small, and some school cannot afford the product. Those schools are leveraging Google Classroom, etc.
It would be nice if some less advantaged schools could be priced according to their tuition models! There is a huge difference between schools that charge tuitions of $10k a year, and those charging $40K or more. The result is that it is a tool that more elite students get to use, which is bad.
