  ### 1. Using for a High School

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 18, 2022

**What do you like best about openSIS?**

The customized fields for Student Information. This is required for a First Nation in Canada that has 9 more data fields for each student.

**What do you dislike about openSIS?**

One can Schedule a group of students in a homeroom, but one cannot, at present, unschedule a group of students. Instead, one has to remove them one at a time. This makes the workload about 20x what it should be. This may be corrected in the coming months.
OTOH, if you are careful. when you schedule a homeroom, you will never need to unschedule them in the future.

**What problems is openSIS solving and how is that benefiting you?**

After taking attendance, one cannot delete a course. This makes sense; however, if attendance has been taken by mistake, one can still drop a student enrollment one day after starting classes and then enroll them in the proper class. 
So, Semester/Term/enrollment should take place on a Saturday. Then if a mistake in enrollment happens and attendance is taken, one can drop the student on Sunday, and enroll them in the correct class for Monday.

Still in Demo.
