Our school would not function without PowerSchool.
What do you like best? PowerSchool allows our staff to input academic and behavioral data for our students, and these updates can be viewed by all, including parents, in real time. As the school social worker, I review this data during sessions with my students, and it's helpful to see their most updated grades and most recent behavioral infractions. PowerSchool allows me to be responsive to my students' day-to-day behavior, which at middle school, is always in a state of flux. What do ...

Good transition to standards-based grading
What do you like best? I was skeptical when my district unrolled PowerSchool for more than just attendance management, but overall I think it's been a solid tool to maintain student records during the transition to standards-based report cards. What do you dislike? Many of the menus make it hard to see all of the features at once; there is a lot of scrolling. The UI is not the cleanest or most intuitive thing I have ever used. What business problems are you solving with the product? ...

Powerschool for educators is awesome!
What do you like best? Powerschool is great because you can have so many different kinds of accounts. At our school, we have one account-type for teachers, one account-type for students, and one account-type for the parents. It enables communication smoothly. What do you dislike? I don't like how you cannot use powerschool to submit assignments. It would be helpful if students could submit their assignments through powerschool and then teachers can enter grades while viewing ...

A K-12 Solution
What do you like best? With PowerSchool you have a simple SIS to use for keeping track of the everyday business of a school. You can also use the grade book, which helps in formulating final grades and it also allows parents to see their students progress. What do you dislike? Finding reports sometimes can be difficult from a teacher perspective. Overall there really isn't much that PowerSchool can't do. It will be interesting to see the LMS that they have added to the product. ...

Very useful assessment too
What do you like best? I appreciate how powerschool lets me post assessments right in the assignment pages to make it easier for students to find. I appreciate how the multiple choice tests can be autograded and input straight into the gradebook, which makes it less time-consuming for me. What do you dislike? I dislike how it's unclear when students are able to see their scores and when they're not - sometimes the assignment is still open and I think students can't see their scores, ...

Very useful, but could be a bit more user friendly
What do you like best? This tool is perfect for any style of class schedule and makes taking roll and grading easy. What do you dislike? It is not always quick and easy to navigate and there are times when this program freezes for no reason (Although that could be due to our school internet. Recommendations to others considering the product Make sure that you give yourself a few days of leeway before grades are due, as this program does sometimes freeze or need updating. What ...

PowerSchool is a pretty decent online marking system
What do you like best? I like that I can communicate and provide feedback for my high school students in a way they are likely to actually read it! What do you dislike? I dislike that there is no feature to backup or take a snapshot of the grade book. If you accidentally erased a mark and you have handed that assignment back already there is no way to know what score they got. Recommendations to others considering the product It is a fairly decent online marking and attendance ...

Solving the problem of attendance keeping and stays as detailed as tardies, unexcused vs. excused tardies or absences, etc.Power School allows for records with grades and attendance being ...
