Overall Satisfaction with Skyward Student Management System

We use Skyward Student Management System to manage all of our student and employee data. On the student side, the most common usage includes family contact information, student identification and photos, current courses, photo permissions and emergency contacts. On the staff side, the most common usages are for submitting and approving timesheets, sick leave, vacation and managing tax forms.
  • Student and family contact information
  • Storing unique data on students (photo permission, classes, etc.)
  • Employee management (timesheet, vacation, sick leave, etc.)
  • UI could use an update to be more user friendly.
  • Search functionality is not great on the student side.
  • Solid product for a good price point.
  • Top-notch data security saves the District potentially millions by avoiding a crisis.
  • Eliminates paper timesheets and request forms for the staff side.

Are you happy with Skyward Student Management System's feature set?

Yes

Did Skyward Student Management System live up to sales and marketing promises?

I wasn't involved with the selection/purchase process

Did implementation of Skyward Student Management System go as expected?

I wasn't involved with the implementation phase

Would you buy Skyward Student Management System again?

Yes

It's a great back-end database system. I would recommend it to a colleague at another education-focused institution as it is very secure and provides you with all of the data management tools that you would need for K-12. It does a good job for employee management, too, and it's never bad to bundle your systems/services together.
