Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use PowerSchool as our SIS database and grading system. We use it for the whole school from Pre-k to 12th grade to coordinate student ids and family accounts.

Pros and Cons

The server system is very secure and reliable.
We can create student accounts quickly and easily while transferring information to other schools when needed.
We use it for our grading systems and family information.

The user interface is a little blocky and not entirely user-friendly.
It does take more training than we'd like with new staff.

Return on Investment

PowerSchool has successfully helped us create a database on our students and allow staff to quickly access student information.
We have been able to coordinate the arrival of new students to multiple teams for student support.

Support Rating

If the user interface was a bit more intuitive, our training sessions could go faster and more effectively. However, overall use of the system is great.
