## PowerSchool Naviance CCLR Reviews
  ### 1. Streamlined College Readiness with Room for Improvement

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** November 14, 2017

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

I use PowerSchool Naviance CCLR as our college and career readiness platform for high school students. I appreciate that Naviance allows students to explore their options for professions and colleges, and even identify which types of jobs align with their personalities and strengths. As educators, we are able to submit necessary college application documents. I like that Naviance is quick and allows us to have a virtual confirmation that school documents have been sent and received. I can log in and see when documents were submitted and whether they were downloaded by the colleges or not, even providing a confirmation number that colleges can use to look up the missing documents. This typically means the documents are located without additional effort on my end or the student's.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

The integration with Common App can be clunky, and some info about careers, especially, is buried. Sometimes a great career option for a student might not be recommended to them because of how search terms or their answers to just a couple of questions.

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

I use PowerSchool Naviance CCLR to help students explore careers and colleges suited to their strengths, while it allows us to submit and confirm college documents efficiently.

  ### 2. Support is horrific and product is confusing and lags

**Rating:** 1.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tiffany Z. | Database Analyst , Education Management, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 30, 2024

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

The fact that it integrates with our Student Information System, but that's about it.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

The support is terrible. Every ticket goes to a robot and never seems to be addressed by an actual human. You receive canned responses that do not even address your concern and there appears to be no ability to escalate. We continue to have outstanding issues that will never be resolved. They rolled out not two, but 3 versions of their report engine, none of which are intuitive and all are laggy and require a comical amount of clicks to pull a simple excel export. Our school counselors have consistent issues with common app information.

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

It provides features our counselors need, however most of the data exists already in our student information system so it's primarily college application tools.

  ### 3. Time saver for our counciling team

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nathan K. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 06, 2023

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

They fianlly rolled out the integration with the SIS this year. We have not rolled it out yet, watiing for the new school year, but we are really looking forward to not having to upload users.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

It is a little hard for our teachers to navigate when it comes to letters of reccomendation. This has lead to a low adoption rate for infrequent users.

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

It is a time savor for our counciling team. They could not get through the massive amount of college apps the studnets push through without it.

  ### 4. Lak of support, all talk no action!

**Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** August 22, 2023

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

It does a thorough job of informing the student of various options available to them when making decisions on continuing to higher education.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

Lack of support and bureaucratic layres that must be traversed to get to a solution if one is gotten at all.

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

Collger preparation and admission

  ### 5. Timeout and deletes progress but can be decent

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** May 24, 2023

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

The college comparsion tool is  quite helpful, though is kind of clunky. The idea of linked parents, students, and counslers is great and helpfull for all parties, though I don't think naviance does a great job communicating the other parites deadlines for uploading certain things.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

It's very clunky and I dispise the many times it has reloaded itself asking me to re sign in (seesion timed out i guess), just to delete all the progress of what I was working on, specifically the school survays and resume builder.

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

College Preparation Service

  ### 6. An Invaluable Tool To Prepare Students For College

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Willie S. | PowerSchool Manager, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 16, 2021

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

The whole system is very straightforward to utilize, and support is always on top of whatever we need. It is extremely rare that we don't have a resolution within a few days (for complex issues) if it isn't solved within the same day.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

We had some growing pains in trying to implement a way to create/link parent accounts to their student accounts automatically. However, it is my understanding that with the recent acquisition by PowerSchool, this process will now be streamlined, and parents will be able to access Naviance directly from their PowerSchool Parent Portal in an upcoming release. Additionally, over time the overnight automated sync process with PowerSchool has left a bit to be desired and we had to frequently tweak the parameters of our exported file in order to ensure that we had all of the data that we were expecting.

Within the past few years, Naviance changed their password requirements and as a result we were no longer able to utilize our student PowerSchool login information as the passwords were shorter than the new minimum required length that was implemented. However, in configuring a Google single sign-on instead all of those problems went away as students can now just use their district Google credentials to log with the convenient one-click method as long as they are actively logged into their Google account.

Overall, due to the amazing staff at Naviance, even the complaints we have aren't really complaints since they regularly take care of all of our concerns.

**Recommendations to others considering PowerSchool Naviance CCLR:**

If you are considering whether Naviance would be a good fit for your district, I would suggest checking with other districts in your area  to verify whether any of them are using it. Naviance support itself is great, but nothing beats hearing things from actual users who may be able to explain things in a better way since they are utilizing the software in the same way that you would be.

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

We previously didn't have an easy way to manage our alumni information, and frequently what we ended up doing was just putting together reports using a bunch of data from our SIS, but we recently began implementing Naviance's Alumni Tracker in order to simplify this process and enable us to spend more time productively rather than trying to cobble together information from our SIS and other sources, which obviously was previously a very inefficient process.

  ### 7. Until this year, I loved this program. This year it caused massive headaches!

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Leigh T. | Teacher, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 12, 2022

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

I love that we can now upload letters of rec once and send them to all schools. I also love that I don't have to address and print letters onto letterhead and stuff envelopes. It is amazing that we can now submit via one click of a button.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

This year it was a nightmare. For some reason, they made some adjustments to the program and we had massive issues with being unable to submit letters despite doing everything (seemingly) right on our end. There was a lot more clicking and a lot of "permissions" that needed to be granted without anyone knowing who had to grant them. I spent countless extra hours trying to submit letters than I ever have before.

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

Quick, easy sending of letters of rec and other Common App forms.

  ### 8. Great for college recommendations

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Corey R. | High School Social Studies Teacher, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 25, 2022

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

Keeps all college recommendation requests in one neat, organized format.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

Occasionally, the program will not send you an email notification showing that a student has requested a letter of recommendation.

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

I have been able to save time by keeping all student recommendations digital and being able to complete the process over different periods of time while the program saves my progress.

  ### 9. Piece of mandatory enforced garbage

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** October 29, 2021

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

Nothing. Nothing, Absolutley nothing. Nada.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

Linking with the common app is difficult and can cause the site to not accept applications to non common app schools. The login process is a mess, temporary passwords often don't work, and the system likes to shut you out. I was in the middle of writing my brag "sheet", when the website said "Your session was expiring", didn't let me "extend " my "session", and logged me out, scrambled my password again, and DELETED EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF MY PROGRESS. I hate that my school has forced the standard of using this website for applications upon us, and I implore whoever reads this to try any other website/ way to apply to college.

**Recommendations to others considering PowerSchool Naviance CCLR:**

Don't use it.

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

It's caused me rage, sleepless nights, and a ton of problems.

  ### 10. Strong Platform

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** June 29, 2020

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

The manner in which the entire platform is presented provides easy access to utilize various resources for the user. It's fairly user-friendly overall.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

Specifically, there have been some changes to the platform throughout the past several months that have made it difficult to keep track of everything available. There have also been a few hiccups on their end, which they've admitted. It'd be nice to have an easier way of keeping track of what's due and when.

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

Problems include how to ensure students have proper information regarding potential post-secondary options and career interests they could explore. This usually includes submitting transcripts, recommendation letters and other school and education reports pertaining to the student.

  ### 11. naviance

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Laura M. | Recruiting and Wellness Specialist, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 26, 2018

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

I like the various ways to visualize data, and user friendly ways to see data.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

I dislike that there arn't as many colleges from the Boston area, and also that the info. needs to be updated. 

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

More students to navigate schools without being nervous and intimidated.  We have realized that the process can be easy to explain when visuals are offered as a means of teaching. 

  ### 12. Does the job!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** August 02, 2021

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

The ability to insert, track, and make decisions off of student data.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

Like any program, it takes a bit of time to learn the ins and outs. This isn't specific to Naviance - it just is what it is.

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

We want to help students achieve their goals by organizing data relative to college and career.

  ### 13. Good tool to promote student ownership of their future

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jessie W. | Teacher, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 29, 2020

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

Naviance helps store college and career information and tools in one location for student use. Career and college goal setting lessons are fun and engaging to students. They are also short enough to hold student attention and break planning and setting goals into manageable chunks. Also, it is fairly easy for students to use this program to request transcripts and manage college applications.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

Sometimes Naviance can be difficult to navigate for students. The teacher page also looks different from what students see, so it can be difficult to walk a class through how to access needed lessons or materials. Teacher trainings are necessary to implement this program.

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

Naviance helps to support college and career readiness upon graduation in an interactive, personalized way. It has helped to make our scheduled advisory time more fun and student-centered.

  ### 14. Naviance - It's not Salesforce but it's the next best thing

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Keith B. | LPA, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 04, 2019

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

I used Naviance to track students' matriculations into college. It does a good job of producing reports and organizing data. I like how you can upload and submit to all the colleges simultaneously.


**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

It's just not Salesforce. It doesn't have nearly the tracking abilities nor collaboration capabilities that Salesforce has.

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

It does a really great job at allowing you to track student data as they prepare to go to college. Parents, studentsm admins really enjoy it. It's a good investment for a school to make. 

  ### 15. Great for high school juniors and seniors looking into colleges.  

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** March 21, 2019

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

It is easy to view and allows students to compare different school with a lot of information, such as price, sports, dorms, act, sat, and gpa.  It allows seniors to create a list of schools they  applied to and what the decision was.  

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

Some parts are hard to use such as putting in the scholarship money that you have received and the resume part is a little complicated for first time users.  

**Recommendations to others considering PowerSchool Naviance CCLR:**

Naviance is great for college, it allows letters of recommendations to be sent to colleges straight from the website.  It also allows students to link their common app to naviance to help make using the website easier.  

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

Schools benefit from this a lot because juniors are able to take quizzes to see what colleges are best for them and seniors are able to compare the colleges they are applying to.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Stacy T. | Director of College Counseling, Primary/Secondary Education, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 28, 2018

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

I like that Naviance is a cooperative platform where students, teachers and colleges can collaborate around college applications. I love the eDocs feature most, as well as the college list-building and research tool. The scatter plots for predicted college acceptance is also helpful.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

Naviance has an unattractive user interface, which is not appealing to look at. I wish the student-facing side were more visually appealing and had more options for administrators to add more easily.

**Recommendations to others considering PowerSchool Naviance CCLR:**

Get eDocs.

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

I am able to collaborate with students, teachers, and colleges through the app. It helps eliminate multiple methods of information exchange, because everything can be sent through the platform. It makes student advising much easier.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Molly G. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 06, 2017

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

I like how you can upload and submit to all the colleges at once. I like how the students only need to send once and it reminds me by sending me an email. I like how all the students who have requested a letter from you are on one list in the same spot. 

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

I don't like all the buttons you have to push to upload one recc for one student. I think the procress is a bit long to get to the web page where you actually upload the letter. I also don't like that it does not alert nor remind you that a student 

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

We are using this process for educational purposes. I have realized that it is very useful for organizational purposes.

This program can be viewed at school and at home.

Some students have a difficult time linking information, as they also use the College Board site frequently. Using multiple platforms can be challenging for some students, and information is therefore left out.

Students take various assessments within Naviance throughout high school. They are able to narrow down their interests and personality traits in order to find applicable careers. This helps students to think of career paths and therefore post-secondary education.

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Rebecca R. | English Teacher, Education Management, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 31, 2017

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

Visual data about college matches from the specific demographics of your school.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

Some difficulty writing letters of recommendation for the common app.

**Recommendations to others considering PowerSchool Naviance CCLR:**

We take time out of homeroom/advisory for students to create accounts, log in, and get walked through the process by a teacher who knows how to work it. Otherwise, can't guarantee they'll do it on their own time.

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

My students are very unfamiliar with the college application process (low-SES school). However, Naviance allows them to see what schools are safeties, matches, and reaches for them. They are able to realistically see where they should apply, and have a guide throughout the application process.

  ### 31. Naviance Revolutionized Our School Community

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Lori B. | School Counselor, Education Management, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 26, 2016

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

Naviance has changed the way I do my job.  It is incredible how everything is packaged into one program.  The students love using it and are amazed at what the program can do.  The program has brought a whole new level of knowledge and information to the students.  

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

I have a pretty positive attitude towards Naviance.  There are a couple of downsides to the program.  I believe that the program is quite expensive.  It has some great add on features, however quite pricey.  Another downfall is that not all colleges or universities accept electronic documents.  Which then in turn makes the process archaic again.  I also had some technology issues with the add on curriculum piece and it took them several months to fix the problem.

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

The benefits are great.  I have a tracking system of when I send transcripts and publish scholarships.  There is also an excellent piece to communicate with parents.  The turn around for college admissions documents is great also.

  ### 32. A teacher's perspective on Naviance

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nathan W. | Classics & ASL Teacher, Education Management, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 28, 2016

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

Naviance is a useful tool for teachers to be able to manage student letters of recommendation requests for college successfully, but I feel there is more the app could provide. The organization of the website is very simple and easy to navigate. 

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

The one aspect of Naviance that does not work well is notifications. I had students tell me they had submitted a request for me, but I had to log in to see the request. I checked the settings and there is not much to push to email or have an app on your personal device to let you know there was a request. 

**Recommendations to others considering PowerSchool Naviance CCLR:**

This is a great system for students and educators. 

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

In our school system, Naviance is helping teachers work closely with guidance counselors to create an efficient and effective way for students to prepare their applications for college.

**Reviewed Date:** September 03, 2016

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

Naviance makes it easy to streamline the college admission process. It allows students to put all of their information in one place. From there, independent college counselors, parents, and teachers can access everything. It is without a doubt a necessary tool. It fills in gaps and leaves no stone unturned. It is such a helpful tool for communicating with multiple people who are all necessary in the college process. 

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Naviance CCLR?**

There is nothing I truly dislike about Naviance. I've found that sometimes students will get overwhelmed by the amount of information, but that is more a function of the college process than the software. 

**Recommendations to others considering PowerSchool Naviance CCLR:**

Definitely use it. It will make your life easier. 

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

The problem this solves is the need to aggregate a lot of information. Multiple parties need to come together to get a student into college, and Naviance does a great job.
