Overall Satisfaction with PowerSchool Student Information System

PowerSchool Student Information System is being used by my entire school system to keep track of student demographics, scheduling, grades, and special education IEP files. By having all this information in one place, our record-keeping is effectively streamlined.

Pros

  • Scheduling is easy.
  • The gradebook is convenient and easy to use.

Cons

  • Sometimes setting up the gradebook can be tricky.
  • PowerSchool Student Information System has had a positive impact in all areas of the record-keeping system for our school system. Without the system, all the files would be hard copies and take up storage space.
PowerSchool replaced an old version of Apple School. PowerSchool outperforms Apple's product and is so much easier to use. It was even simple to convert the old Apple student files to the PowerSchool system for a seamless transition. Once we transitioned, we were able to see more data and run reports easily on our own without having to have the office run the reports for us.
While PowerSchool gives us excellent support, our school system has a dedicated employee who is our first contact for support. If she does not know the answer, she is able to contact PowerSchool for assistance. The turnaround time is generally very quick.
