148 Skyward Testimonials

“After seeing what Qmlativ offered, from the SQL database to the flexible interface, we recognized that it fit in line with our vision for the future. It contained the most important qualities we look for in education technology: accessibility, attentiveness to district needs, in tune with national, state, and local changes, instant support, and a continuously evolving product.”

"My previous experience using Skyward helped push them to the top of our options, but their focus on school districts definitely made our decision easier."

“I know of other districts that I’ve been in that don’t have an onboarding system or even a paperless system, As a principal back in the day, applicants had to go to the central office, pick up an application. It was quite a process.”

"We are very happy with the Skyward Special Ed Module. I find myself using it not just for writing IEP's, but for broader data collection features as well. I love it!"

"We use all aspects of Employee Access and no longer print W2's or pay stubs which helps cut down on processing time and the cost of supplies and postage."

“The marketing firm made a video for us that we sent to every parent in the district about the move to standards-based grading, That way they knew the changes to expect, why we were making the switch, and the benefits that would come with switching.”

"I can’t wait for the second-year version of this story, We are going to see all the benefits and reasons we converted this next year and in year three we are convinced it’s going to be even better. Skyward is the perfect software to grow with us and that feels really good."

“No one expected a pandemic to occur, but as our schools shut down, our conversion and conversations with Skyward ramped up, Until July, every single training I did was from home."

"You can only imagine how it was in the past when it came to tax time, Every director had to add up all of the payments for every kid and prepare a statement by hand. Now, we go in and it literally takes us five minutes to run all of the sheets for all of the kids."

"It used to take me about two full weeks working 10-12 hours a day to clean the data and get it ready for reporting. With Skyward the entire process has been reduced down to just a couple of hours."

“For our district, like many others, the most important qualities of edtech are the ability to adapt, be flexible, and meet customers’ needs. Skyward has given us that and more over the years,”

"Recently, I worked with Skyward’s customer service. I was provided with great expertise and I saved probably ten hours of work. I really appreciate their assistance and expertise!"

“Skyward was the first system teachers were able to grasp, and it’s more user-friendly than what was used in the past. Being able to access Skyward from home is also a very big benefit. Now they can just log in from any computer and work at their leisure since it’s web-based.”

"At the time, we thought we were making a move toward something better. But we quickly realized that Skyward had been solving challenges we hadn't even recognized before. The functionality and reliability we once took for granted were suddenly missing."

"Our legacy system ran all of our applications that were at the enterprise finance, human resources and student levels, including budget, general ledger, payroll, purchasing and student management. The system we chose would essentially run all of our operations and affect our entire user community."
