I am able to navigate both students information under one account. As a parent, I enjoy using Powerschool to stay up-to-date with my children teachers, classes and grades. I like how I can view every assignment, test, quiz or project; by its name, date and grade without contacting the teacher. Powerschool keep records of attendance, school events, and class schedules; to name a few. I like how the Powerschool software gives my children a sense of accountability. My high schooler cannot state any excuses of not knowing her assignments or grades. Students are provided with their own access to Powerschool which helps them keep up with their own grades. > > **Cons**: The software generates each student with an username and password for the parents and students. The parent are allowed to change their password. Although, my information remains the same, I have had to recreate my account several times throughout the school year...using the same information\! > > Informative and efficient in recording all student data. ----- ### "Using PowerSchool since 2008" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *11 February 2019* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: One of the best reasons to use PowerSchool is that this software is all encompassing for the school district. We use this software for attendance, grades, teacher grade book, reports, state reporting, and even to manage our lunch program and student fees. PowerSchool keeps parents and students informed. Parents (and students) have real-time access to their student's information which includes but is not limited to attendance, grades, and lunch balances. > > **Cons**: In the "Old" days, Pearson used to download the state reporting updates automatically overnight for us. Now, I have to go to the PowerSource site to get the download and install the updates myself, which is time consuming and causes me to take PowerSchool offline during the work day. > > We love PowerSchool. This software has streamlined our school processes. Having all of our student information so readily available to us is definitely convenient. Some of our schools have even started to email report cards to parents. This has saved so much money in paper and mailing. ----- ### "Does the job but others are better" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *1 November 2022* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Covers the bases and is used in many districts so once learned can be used at many places. > > **Cons**: Not very user friendly. Often too difficult to navigate and must jump too many screens to get the information you need. ----- ### "Great SIS\!" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *10 September 2018* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Here are the pros I see with PowerSchool as an administrator: - Easy-to-use for newcomers - Tons of potential and features - They really do have incredible customer support. They offer a site where you can make suggestions, and upvote other ideas. They do release those features commonly, too. - It's a one-stop-shop for almost every SIS need > > **Cons**: Due to some major recent updates with the platform (specifically gradebook becoming web-based, called PowerTeacher Pro), I do not have any major complaints regarding it. I cannot speak to the programming side, but in my role as a troubleshooter for teachers, I find it very easy to use. I have noticed and heard that it doesn't always react/respond well across different OS. Due to the fact that it is web-based, this could be problematic if the internet was down. > > Easy to use, exceptional features, up-to-date, etc... I'm a big fan of PowerSchool as a SIS\! ----- ### "Robust feature set but a lot to manage" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *23 August 2022* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: If there is something that you want to do with your student data, PowerSchool is likely able to help you do it but... > > **Cons**: Figuring out the process to get anything done can be onerous and support is not well set up to help with strategy level decisions but instead is better suited to dealing with one-off issues. > > PowerSchool is an extremely powerful system, and once you're able to get things set up, it can do just about anything that you want. The larger issue is that the set-up can be difficult particularly if you are a single-site or smaller network. ----- Page: 1 / 7\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2059701/powerschool-sis?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.com.au/software/2059701/powerschool-sis) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
