"Effortless Communication and User-Friendly Platform"
5/5
What do you like best about ParentSquare?

Connecting with both parents and staff is incredibly simple, and the platform itself is very user-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ParentSquare?

We need to be careful not to share too much information at once, as parents can sometimes feel overwhelmed and may voice their concerns. However, this isn't a problem with the app itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The Company Culture Separates ParentSquare from the Rest!"
5/5
What do you like best about ParentSquare?

Like any implementation of a new program, it can get easy to get lost in all of the nuances. With ParentSquare, the very best feature is their friendliness and attention. No matter how daunting it is to change how your school district communicates with their parents and students, ParentSquare has an answer for that! They provide wonderful customer support, they value their customers by providing one-on-one attention, and most importantly, they listen! Features that are overlooked and suggested by those that use it get careful consideration to be included in future versions! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ParentSquare?

I wouldn't necessarily say that there is a downside to ParentSquare. Like any communication portal, getting parents involved can be difficult. But I think that ParentSquare does a good job of Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"PSQ Makes Communicating Easy"
5/5
What do you like best about ParentSquare?

After surveying my parents, the results are overwhelmingly positive for PSQ. As end users, they've indicated that they value the centralized communication, ease of use, access to timely and consistent notifications, find the communication channels to be more effective, and enjoy the calendar and link features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ParentSquare?

There is very little that I dislike, and any time I've shared feedback with the PSQ team they've taken it into consideration. This year, the main issue (which isn't much of an issue) is that parents would have liked to have a section in the post with a student name field. But knowing the team, I'm sure they have something in the works for this! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A tremendous benefit for any school! 73% of our parents have downloaded the app and 99% are contactable! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
