Overall Satisfaction with SchoolAdmin

We use SchoolAdmin for admissions, enrollment, custom student forms and billing. The entire organization uses the program. It has allowed us to share information throughout the school in a seamless and organized way. Parents like it because they only need to input their information one time. We are very happy with the product and recommend it to everyone.
  • Ease of use.
  • Similar experience from admissions through enrollment and billing.
  • Excellent product support.
  • SchoolAdmin would benefit from a mobile app for admissions officers to more easily get information on the road.
  • SchoolAdmin has allowed us to much more easily track applicants and data over time.
SchoolAdmin is focused on the school and admissions users. Blackbaud products were born for finance and fund raising. As a result, their admissions and school products are step children and not capable of the on-the-fly customization and adaptations that admissions people need all the time. Every school business officer and fund raising person celebrate Blackbaud. Any admissions officer knows, it's not right for admissions, but often get "bullied" into using it.

SchoolAdmin is an excellent program for schools looking to have the benefits of customization, the ease of transferring information into less user friendly programs like Blackbaud products, and share information throughout the organization for specific groups of people. Using SchoolAdmin can be a bit of a challenge for schools that rely on outside products like the SSAT.
