## PowerSchool Enrollment Reviews
  ### 1. I have used Enrollment Product in my previous organization

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** May 24, 2024

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

We can create dyanmic K-12 registration forms with excellent in built features, like School locator for lottery related registration.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

The data delivery integration from the product Enrollment to respective data can be improved.

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

The product Enrollment is excellent in terms of collect 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 term of Java script which we used to code within the product.

  ### 2. Good product that can be customized for many purposes

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Aubrey D. | Child Accounting, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 03, 2023

**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.

**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.

**Recommendations to others considering PowerSchool Enrollment:**

Ask for what you need upfront and they will work with you.

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

Enrollment options for parents other than paper and pen are a MUST these days. And this fills that need. The product allows for full customization and their team does a great job at listening to your unique needs.

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

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** October 28, 2021

**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. 

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

I can do attendance and lunch count on the same program,  which is very efficient in the morning when there is so much to do.

  ### 4. Saved our Staff!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Terica B. | Data Services Coordinator, Education Management, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 22, 2017

**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.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

Initial setup is alot 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.

**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.

**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.

  ### 5. OK if your school needs few/zero customization

**Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Joshua B. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 27, 2020

**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.

**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).

**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.

**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).

  ### 6. PowerSchool is comprehensive SIS for overall School Management

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 30, 2020

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

As I had mentioned earlier it is the most comprehensive solution for managing school enrollment and it also saved a lot of time as well. As there are a lot of Plugins available which directly speaks with the data sitting in PowerSchool.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

Nothing as of now as I am working on PowerSchool since the Year 2013.

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

Using PowerSchool I am able to solve the underlying problems for capturing Enrollment Data and again using State-Wide system one can directly Sync PowerSchool with them on the Fly.

  ### 7. Everything in one place

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** June 30, 2020

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

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.

**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

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

PowerSchool helped me to save a lot of time I used to spend on manual data entry.

  ### 8. Acceptable Experience

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 25, 2020

The program allows for easy enrollment of students.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

Powerschool enrollment has a chunky interface and needs to be updated.

The problems that Powerschool enrollment are it helps with getting students the right courses.

  ### 9. Powerschool makes scheduling and management a breeze

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** August 30, 2018

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

The sensible and useful tools to manage large groups of students. Also, I use it a great deal for exporting info on to excel, sheets, and tableau.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

Limited connection to other apps such as mail. Would like to be able to hit a button to email all of a student's teachers, etc.

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

We use Powerschool for registration, record keeping, schedule management, as well as having a parent portal and a student portal.

  ### 10. PowerSchool for education 

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** October 17, 2018

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

It is very easy to take attendance and enter grades. 

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

I do not like the seating chart functionality. It is very difficult to use and not user friendly. 

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

It is easy to look up student demographic information, take attendance, and enter grades. 

  ### 11. Huge Time Saver!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Michelle D. | Data Manager, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 21, 2017

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

We are able to capture updated information annually, which helps our district have more accurate/current information from families. Each family enters/updates their own data, which saves on typos. Registrars used to have to look through piles of papers to find minor changes, then rekey everything into PowerSchool manually. 

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

There is setup required each year for both new and returning student forms. The process takes some time, but it's worth it! The support team works closely with your district/SU during implementation each year. I would recommend you have a team of people in your district/SU to work through the changes each year. Gather feedback from office staff, administrators, and families to help improve your form(s) each year.

**Recommendations to others considering PowerSchool Enrollment:**

Highly recommended! Our data has far less errors now that we have taken paper registration out of the process.

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

The student/family data is much more accurate and up to date compared to when we were using paper registration forms. We now receive updated data from families annually. In addition to demographic data, we also gather medical and transportation information.

  ### 12. Registration Signature

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Karla R. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 20, 2018

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

How easy it is for the parents to use.  The information from one student can 'snap' to complete the next students form in the same family. Parents can enroll students from any time. Parents can enroll students from any place as along as they have internet access.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

That the pay function is per student not per family.

**Recommendations to others considering PowerSchool Enrollment:**

It is a wonderful product.  

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

No more paper.  No more sorting. The information is delivered from Registration back to PowerSchool.  No more data entry.

  ### 13. Registering students is so much easier now

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Isa D. | Web Administrator / Registrar, Primary/Secondary Education, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 19, 2017

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

Data entry is now done by the parents of our students instead of by us.  They used to submit everything on paper,  whereafter we entered the data into PowerSchool.  Once parents have entered the data into PS Registration, we can send it to PowerSchool with a couple of mouse clicks.  It has saved us so much time.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

The setup is a lot of work. The field names in PS Registration and PS Sis are not always the same, which makes data mapping for API more cumbersome that it needs to be.  Granted, Registration used to be Infosnap, which was not tied to PowerSchool, but now that it is part of PowerSchool, I hope they will go to work on streamlining it.

**Recommendations to others considering PowerSchool Enrollment:**

It will change your life if you are used to paper forms.  Well worth it if you can afford it, but start setting up plenty of time ahead.

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

We use it for new student and returning student registration and information update.   It has significantly cut down on paper clutter and data entry.  All departments needing the information now have simultaneous access.

  ### 14. PowerSchool Registration

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** January 29, 2018

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

This saves time for secretaries.  They spend a lot of time entering new student registration information.  Having the data entered by parents, reviewed by secretaries and then pushed right into PowerSchool will save them hours in the fall. 

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

the cost is a little prohibitive, with all of the other expenses that are accrued through data bases this adds too much.

It will not save us much money above the cost.  The biggest part of our registration process is address validation and proof of residency, we will continue to have this cost.  

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

time savings, that is probably the biggest benefit.  Freeing our secretarial staff to do more important tasks.

  ### 15. Powerschool

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** September 23, 2017

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

PowerSchool is very user friendly and very easy to learn. It took me no time at all to learn the system once I was introduced to it a little over a year ago.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

There isn't anything to dislike. PowerSchool is user friendly and easy to learn.

**Recommendations to others considering PowerSchool Enrollment:**

It is definitely work it.

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

I am not solving business problems, I use PowerSchool as a high school teacher for daily things such as attendance. 

  ### 16. No More paper! Cleaned up our data!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 28, 2017

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

 We are able to have our data ready for count day which comes 6 weeks into the school year.  Previously our staff had to work overtime to try and get data entered for 2000 students accurately.  Our staff prefer to have their time back with their family vs overtime in front of a computer.  It has really helped us ensure all of our buildings are consistent.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

It was difficult at first to get our secretarial staff to embrace online registration and stop using paper forms, but walking them through process slowly and working with them constantly allowed them to understand and see how it made their jobs better and easier. 

**Recommendations to others considering PowerSchool Enrollment:**

Give yourself plenty o time to implement and don't do it at the beginning of a school year.

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

Being able to track enrollment and issues.

  ### 17. Power school

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Helen N. | School Nurse, Education Management, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 19, 2017

Power school is easy to use to look up students information.

Nothing, I think it is user friendly to find information

  ### 18. Review

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 10, 2017

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

Easy to use, simple, and user friendly. Efficient work space to display intended content. 

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

Slightly restrictive by using formulaic and basic structure; impedes some creativity.

PowerSchool allows to quick and efficient communication to the intended audience. Again, easy to use and allows creator to effectively distribute information to its audience. 

  ### 19. PS Registration Review

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Carrie W. | Technology Coordinator, Primary/Secondary Education, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 27, 2016

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

Implementation was quick and easy.  It didn't take long after the first implementation call until I was creating my forms.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

I would like to be able to duplicate my forms.  When I was creating a new one, I had to start from scratch.

**Recommendations to others considering PowerSchool Enrollment:**

Consider a demo of the product to see what it is capable of doing for your school.

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

As our PowerSchool admin, I heard many requests for online enrollment.  I knew it was above my expertise so turning to something that PowerSchool sells was the only option I wanted to explore.  Parents were able to have a successful student enrollment and secretaries were sold on it as soon as they approved the first registration form come through their queue.

  ### 20. PowerSchool Registration 

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Gail H. | Student Information System & Database Specialist, Education Management, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 09, 2016

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

What I like best about PowerSchool Registration is that we users are able to design/create our own registration forms. 

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

What I dislike about PowerSchool Registration is the inability to export data for when submissions were received.  However, we are not  currently using the Signature version. We will be updating to the Signature version for 2017-2018.

**Recommendations to others considering PowerSchool Enrollment:**

Go straight to the Signature version. You won't be sorry!  

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

We are solving the problem of too much paper use and also more timely data entry into PowerSchool.  With PSR, all student data is updated in a far more timely manner.

  ### 21. Online Registration is amazing

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 27, 2016

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

How easy it is for the parents. Especially for the families with multiple students at different schools. It will take the students information and populate it to the next student. 

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

The amount of time it takes for our information to get back into PowerSchool. We do have a unique set up and our support person changed from one year to the next which made it a little harder to get the second year set up.  The first year we only had three schools the second year we had sixteen schools.

**Recommendations to others considering PowerSchool Enrollment:**

It is an amazing resource for our families.  It also has a huge impact on PS data quality.

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

This cuts down on paper, mailing cost, and even the secretary's time.

  ### 22. PowerSchool Registration

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** January 17, 2017

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

It is so easy for parents to log into their PowerParent account and get to the registration. No extra web sites, no extra usernames and passwords. Our parents really like that they can snap the contact information from one student to another. 

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

The deliver of data back to PowerSchool is clunky. It seems way more difficult than it needs to be. It would be nice to have a mobile version/app for parents without computer internet access.

**Recommendations to others considering PowerSchool Enrollment:**

I do recommend PowerSchool Registration. There is a lot of power in the conditional logic used in PowerSchool Registration which gives us flexibility for different populations. Logging in through PowerParent is easy for parents.

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

Parents can register from anyplace that has internet. They can register on their own time, not just during office hours. 

  ### 23. Infosnap/powerschool

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jeff T. | Director of Technology, Education Management, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 08, 2017

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

The "new" infosnap/powerschool registration page is a must for public schools.  Takes the data entry right out of our hands and allows us to work with students in our  main and counseling offices.  The ability for parents to enter data and change data during the school year is a time saver and gives us better data.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Enrollment?**

The downloading feature is clunky but easy to manipulate.

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

Time saver as stated above.
