Overall Satisfaction with PowerSchool Student Information System

PowerSchool Student Information is used across the entire division to manage student records and grades. It contains student information ranging from demographics to classes they are taking, teachers, grades, etc. It is also used by teachers to print a variety of reports ranging from rosters to individual student reports and attendance.
  • A wonderful student grade management tool. Easy interface to navigate. Used to add assignments, grade assignments, and categories and percentages.
  • Can print detailed reports with the option to select features to print.
  • Able to review a student's schedule, classes, grades in other classes, teacher's name and student demographics.
  • When creating assignments sometimes a feature is blocked by a pop-up window.
  • Would like to be able to print a student's overall attendance record for management.
  • Positive: Able to manage student data and grades painlessly.
  • A parent can get access to the parent portal to monitor student grades.
  • Students can get notifications regarding grade changes.
We used a different grade management system over 5 years ago that was efficient but not as user-friendly as Powerschool. I cannot remember the name of that application. Our school system has been using PowerSchool for over 5 years and so far it has served our purpose. Each year we added more features: including assessments.
I am a PowerSchool user support person at my school. The PowerSchool administrators get the training and support from PowerSchool Student Information System directly. Then this information is passed on to the teachers. As far as I know, they have no complaints regarding the PowerSchool Student Information System. There's also a website that we can access if we need further information or support.

PowerSchool is well suited for the educational system to manage student information, grades, and progress. Our PowerSchool information system contains student data from the time they entered our school system. It also contains data on student accommodations and parent contacts. The interface is user-friendly and easy to navigate. You can change the display size to suit your needs.
