Overall Satisfaction with Schoology

Our public school district utilizes Schoology for students across grades K-12 for student learning, grade posting, and information sharing. All of the teachers and administrators in our schools utilize Schoology to post and communicate with students and parents throughout the school year, and the information includes anything from specific classroom assignments to school-wide announcements.
  • Schoology empowers students to track and monitor their progress within all of their courses.
  • Schoology bridges communication gaps between parents and classroom teachers.
  • Schoology elevates the learning environment for classroom teachers by allowing them to digitally transform student assignments.
  • The iOS based app for Schoology does not include many of the features that are available through the browser-based version.
  • Some of the reporting features available through Schoology are antiquated, making grading data difficult to interpret.
  • Users don't have the options to set their own default settings, making information curation timely in some cases.
  • Schoology has had a positive impact on classroom pacing by making digital content instantly available for students.
  • Schoology has reduced the amount of money spent on physical copies of materials as information transitions to an online environment.
  • Schoology increases the need for a network of devices that can function effectively for student use in the classroom.
Schoology is well suited for classroom teachers who implement a digital learning environment and need a platform to post and share specific resources and school documents for student consumption. Schoology should be implemented as a way to redesign a classroom learning environment. Teachers who are looking for a system to simply organize grades or store files should find another program because Schoology works best if students download and share information back within the learning management system.
