148 Skyward Testimonials

"With Skyward, students have 24/7 access to all grades and missing assignments. Gone are the days of a student using “I didn’t know” as an excuse!"

“A single solution was important versus a separate enrollment software that had to use an export/import or API to get the data into our SIS. We were also looking to get away from a paper enrollment system. Up until that time our district used packets of paper forms that the parents had to fill out. One packet per student.”

"Many have been at the district for a number of years, and so they were averse to change from the start, But every week I hear from one of them how great Skyward is and how it’s made their life easier. So as the comfort level grows, the confidence starts to come."

“Despite our previous information system having documentation on the database fields, it was still extremely difficult to query the database. We interfaced with various systems, but it’s definitely easier in Skyward. The database schema is so well-designed that I am usually able to write an integration interface in a couple of hours.”

"We send data all 12 months of the year. [When a change occurs,] Skyward gets back to us in a very reasonable amount of time with solutions and a realistic timeline for implementing the necessary changes."

"We are a small rural district with a small business department. Skyward allows us to efficiently and accurately complete important financial tasks."

"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,”

“We made the switch to Skyward’s Qmlativ Education Management System because I wanted to consolidate our student and business databases and integrate all the various products that we use, With all the disparate third-party software vendors that we have, touching every account on every platform is honestly my worst nightmare, which was the unfortunate reality when we had our previous software."

"I would absolutely recommend Family and Student Access to other districts, It has provided us with multiple useful tools, and we continue to explore additional ways we can fully utilize it in our building."

"I have noticed that there has been an increase in communication between myself and parents. They will contact me if they see something concerning with their student's grades."

"There is a strong and growing network of Skyward districts in Michigan, and many of those have been instrumental in getting the data hub up and running because of Skyward's willingness to invest time and effort into compliance."

"I think parents do a really good job in elementary school, but as students get older, I think parents start to disconnect. And I’m a firm believer that it’s more important in high school than elementary, so we are trying to re-engage."

"I see [Skyward] as being sort of that front door. If we can get people to walk through that, then we can introduce them to other things going on at the school that will hopefully make their child’s career even better."

"I really appreciate Skyward’s culture. Their willingness to listen to customers and constantly push out improvements makes us truly appreciate the partnership we have created."
