# Best School Management Software - Page 20 *By [Emma Stein](https://research.g2.com/insights/author/emma-stein)* School management software streamlines administrative operations at educational institutions. These products are typically used by school administrators and support staff in a variety of departments, including food services, housing, information technology (IT), and facility management. School management software helps educational organizations more efficiently manage institutional resources and improve communication between departments, administrators, and support staff. Many functions of school management software manage operations that help keep the institution running, such as work orders, preventative maintenance, and inventory management. NOTE: This category is intended for products that manage administrative operations but do not qualify for G2’s more specific Education ERP software categories, including Education ERP suites, Education HR software, and Education Finance and Accounting Software. As a result, while products in those categories may offer some features in this space, they are excluded from School Management Software. To qualify for inclusion in the School Management Software category, a product must: - Provide tools to improve staff communication - Have features designed to improve efficiency - Include functionality designed to help manage school operations in areas such as facilities, IT management, program management, document management, attendance, and food service. ## G2 Grid® for School Management Software ![G2 Grid® for School Management Software plotting products by satisfaction and market presence](https://www.g2.com/categories/school-management-software/grids.png?focus%5B%5D=126362&focus%5B%5D=76239&focus%5B%5D=43137&focus%5B%5D=20266&focus%5B%5D=123817&focus%5B%5D=6828&focus%5B%5D=12729&focus%5B%5D=35434) Highlighted products: SchoolStatus, ParentSquare, ClassLink, FMX, Securly Filter, PowerSchool SIS, Follett Destiny Library Manager, and OpenEduCat.

The platform automates the work that consumes school offices: invoicing and payment collection run on schedule, with families paying by pre-authorized bank debit or credit card through their own parent portal. Enrollment moves online with custom forms, waitlists, and self-serve registration. Attendance & class management, student information (SIS) forms, donation tracking, and automated tax receipts round out day-to-day operations, while GL account mapping and QuickBooks integration keep accounting clean without manual rekeying. TUIO's support model is a genuine differentiator: unlimited, live, one-on-one support for staff and for parents at no extra charge — so your office doesn't become tech support for families. Most schools onboard in as little as 3 days. Pricing is transparent: TUIO Starter is free, with no monthly fees and no contracts. TUIO Professional is a flat $500 per year, per location — no per-student fees — adding attendance, SIS forms, GL exports, roles & permissions, and reduced transaction rates. Multi-year contracts can lock in your rate.
