“[PowerSchool Assessment] is the best product that I have used to create district assessments. Question alignment is spot on to the standards, and reviewing and choosing questions is seamless.”

"The longer you wait, the more difficult it’s going to be."

“The first thing that I fell in love with was the emails that were generated weekly. I would get emails summarizing what my student’s grades were. I also love that I could go in on my time and look at my children’s grades. And if I have a question, I know that I can send an email to my son’s teachers really quickly.”

“State reporting is 100% better. PowerSchool Hosting handles all of the upgrades and I do the reports right in PowerSchool SIS. Before, we had to add our own fields to make it work, but now, it just works perfectly fine without our additions!”

“Cognos is a wonderful tool for us to create any report and pull any information out of eFinancePLUS. We are able to manipulate it in any way that we would like to share with our stakeholders.”

“For our district, PowerSchool is the backbone of everything we do. It’s the foundation for everything, and it’s helping power our district to success.”

“PowerSchool works well in Ontario. The company has demonstrated the ability to invest and enhance the product to the level a current SIS needs to be in this day and age. The enhancements to the system are much appreciated. Keep up the great work!”

“I wish I had done it years before. It’s just taken a big burden off of me and my whole department.”

“Every day that goes by, students and teachers become more familiar with the product. We continue to get bigger and better ROI. A teacher will discover something new and say, ‘Wow, this is a new feature I didn’t know about!’ We no longer have disparate tools and the limitations they bring. We can now share data between physical and virtual classrooms, and we are collaborating to help improve the education experience. Every day, we are increasing our ROI, and it keeps getting better.”

“A unified system allows educators to easily jump between applications on the education side. And then on the management side, counselors, administrators, secretaries, and all of the behind-the-scenes staff that are managing data have a single source of data entry so we are ensuring clean, quality data. We’re not enrolling students in five different applications. It’s just one application, and that student data is then being shared with twenty-some other applications. It’s a way of keeping data clean and ensuring data is accurate throughout the system.”

“Since we’ve moved to cloud hosting, there is no extra burden or workload on IT. They can devote their time to normal day-to-day operation, so they are able to support the rest of the organization instead of spending time on hosting responsibilities. For me, the SIS is now always automatically updated so I am confident I can submit accurate, timely information to the state to secure our funding.”

“Instructional time has increased significantly with the single sign-on. That means more time spent focused on the student. Having the gradebook, class pages and assessment all in one program, efforts aren’t duplicated, and monitoring the progress of the student is fluid. Communication with parents is better than it ever has been.”

“I love that it can score assignments, give students immediate feedback and record the results of their work automatically in the gradebook. I also really like having a one-stop location for students and parents to check grades, access lessons and assignments, and communicate upcoming events. It is really nice to not have to have students (and parents) remember multiple websites, logins and passwords.”

“PowerSchool has made things much more efficient not only for the employee but for our payroll and human resources department as well."

“Our staff loves PowerSchool Registration and we are now eliminating up to two full weeks of staff time. Parents love the convenience of not having to take off from work to come fill out paperwork. We’ve had nothing but positive feedback across the board."
