"Comprehensive software for student data"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Focus SIS?

I like the snapshot information I can get in each section or categoy for each individual student. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Focus SIS?

I don't like that the schedule shown is not providing me with a "real-time". For instance, if a student is in 4th period, it would be nice if that line was highlighted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Focus SIS:

I would definitely consider this as a comprehensive tool for school and district usage. It has the ability to store the information necessary in the event of an emergency for all students. It is also a great tool to use for student's schedule and to see snapshot information such as school absences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Focus SIS solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to locate the student throughout the day by knowing the student's schedule. I am also able to contact the parent's easily with the information shown. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The product does what it needs to do."

3.5/5

What do you like best about Focus SIS?

I like that Focus allows me to see information on the individual as needed. It also has photos, which help so that am easily able to identify the individual. There are updates, such as birthdays, changes, and reminders that occur daily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Focus SIS?

I do not like that I have to "hunt" for certain pieces of information. It seems that this should be easier, but I find myself clicking and searching just to find a note that I made or a phone number. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
