"I have used Enrollment Product in my previous organization"

5/5

What do you like best about PowerSchool Enrollment?

We can create dynamic K-12 registration forms with excellent built-in features, like School locator for lottery-related registration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerSchool Enrollment?

The data delivery integration from the product Enrollment to respective data can be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PowerSchool Enrollment solving and how is that benefiting you?

The product Enrollment is excellent in terms of collecting accurate student's data for every academic year which makes it easier for the school district to maintain their database. During my tenure at PowerSchool, I was a part of the Tier 2 team and we worked on multiple API integrations between Enrollment and SIS(database) which benefitted me in learning the API integration process. On top of that, I've learnt a lot in terms of JavaScript which we used to code within the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good product that can be customized for many purposes"

4/5

What do you like best about PowerSchool Enrollment?

From the days of InfoSnap, this is a great solution for enrolling students and collecting emergency contact info. Their team is great at creating forms and making them customized to the district. They also use School Locator which allows districts the ability to ensure the address is in the district. We have had good success so far using this system to enroll students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerSchool Enrollment?

I don't like that you don't have much control over your forms. We have to open a support ticket for every modification. I wish that they had better training on using the product as well. I also wish that more data could be transferred over into SIS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Power School is a convenient and user friendly program to use as a teacher."

5/5

What do you like best about PowerSchool Enrollment?

As a teacher I can conveniently look up their information such as addresses, birthdays, and contact information. I use it before the students come to school to send out letters. I also use it to find out birthdays so that I can put up my birthday board. I make a binder with all of my student information and put into a binder, and it is so easy to use.

What do you dislike about PowerSchool Enrollment?

I have used PowerSchool for so many years, I really don't thing there is anything that I don't like about it. I have never had any problems with the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Saved our Staff!"

4.5/5

What do you like best about PowerSchool Enrollment?

The simple interface and ease of use. Although it looks simple, it is very powerful and easy to use. You cannot screw up anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerSchool Enrollment?

Initial setup is a lot of work. Deciding not to have too many questions and mapping the data correctly to your SIS takes time and recommend a team, not just a couple staff members. Get input from staff users and parents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PowerSchool Enrollment:

Make sure you have enough time to properly setup and implement. Do not recommend starting the school year with both New and Returning registration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PowerSchool Enrollment solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using it for new student and returning student registration. It has decreased errors significantly and increased the efficiency of our staff to get needed/updated information into our SIS system by count day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"OK if your school needs few/zero customization"

1.5/5

What do you like best about PowerSchool Enrollment?

Vast improvement over pdf or paper forms; excellent data validation if you know regex and have time to customize. Assuming you are only using the default forms and fields/questions, delivering finished applications to PowerSchool SIS is very easy. Very granular control on security settings also allows several users/groups to collaborate on forms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerSchool Enrollment?

Support for implementation was spotty at best; took several hundred hours of work to properly setup; doesn't fully integrate with PowerSchool SIS customizations (anything made outside the built-in student extension table is ignored and must be manually imported if used). Also, there is only one notes box for administrators to make comments on application, which could be very limiting depending on your workflow. Lastly, the user interface could be made slightly easier to navigate (for new users, it was difficult to find all the tools/features they needed at first glance). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering PowerSchool Enrollment:

Great for traditional North American school. IB or International schools; or anyone needing customization, you might be better off looking elsewhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is PowerSchool Enrollment solving and how is that benefiting you?

Increased efficiency of processing applications. Helps keep data organized and accurate. No wasted time fussing around with PDF or paper forms (e.g. easy to go paperless). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing as of now as I am working on PowerSchool since the Year 2013. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Everything in one place"

I liked that everything was all in one place and that I didn't have to do as much manual entry of hand filled out enrollment forms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PowerSchool Enrollment?

It was a little difficult for some of my less tech-savvy colleagues to catch onto, so I wish there were more resources available for them so that I wouldn't have had to spend so much time helping colleagues learn the program Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
