Long Time PS User

What do you like best? I started using PS from their first release back in the early 2000's and I am still loving the program 17+ years later.

PowerSchool SIS - Seamless and Efficient

What do you like best? PowerSchool is the most user friendly Student Information System I have worked with. The ability to be able to customize it to fit your District needs is a definite plus and their Customer Service department goes above and beyond to help with any questions or issues you have. What do you dislike? The only downfall to PowerSchool in my opinion is not having more control of the Mobile App settings and being able to customize it for your school/district. What ...

Customizable and Flexible SIS

What do you dislike? Many times a product suggestion for improvement or fixing an issue isn't ...

Great SIS

I do not like the new setup for Contacts. It was easier to add/update parent information in the old Access Accounts portion of PowerSchool. Now there are more steps to update information. Recommendations ...

However, in saying that I do ...

Love PowerSchool, so much easier than Skyward

What do you like best? I love how easy PowerSchool is. It's easy to just play with things to figure it out. All the basic things you need is right on the front page. Their support is extremely patient and very knowledgeable. I also love that every year there is a state wide conference so we can learn. I am constantly learning how to do things. The users in the state of Kansas (I don't know about the other states) are very willing to help other users out. What do you dislike? The ...
