PowerSchool SIS Reviews & Product Details

The most helpful aspect is that the SIS covers nearly all aspects of need for our school, including LMS integration, gradebook, report cards, as well as all the standard SIS and reports needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Jack of all trades, master of none. PS SIS does lots of things, but nothing really stands out as awesome. The UI is a bit clunky and can be hard to navigate. The fact that the regular teacher view cannot access class information for all students is limiting. For example, if I want to look up information for a student who is not in one of my classes, I must use an admin account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The robust functionality of the platform. There is so much data that can be stored for students. It is incredibly easy for our teachers and our parents to use. The reports are great as well - our admin team loves them. The scheduling function within Powerscheduler is amazing. It makes it so seamless to schedule hundreds of different students with many different class requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user interface can be a little outdated. On the admin side, it can be a bit challenging to navigate because there is so much information. There are a lot of features that many of our admin team doesn't know how to operate or execute. It requires at least 2-3 very tech savy folks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PowerSchool SIS is easy to use and allows me to pull important student information from one source. I go to PowerSchool daily because it's always up-to-date and it saves me time, especially when I need information from students across my district. I love being able to see student grades and attendance and know whether they are keeping up in class. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have no complaints about PowerSchool SIS. I am not technologically savvy and PowerSchool is easy to learn and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease of use and customization that schools have the capabilities to create. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PowerSource can at times be a bit hard to find the correct article on an issue one is having or instructions needed. I am hopeful that the PowerSchool Community site will address this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using powerschool for approximately a year now as a school administrator and it has been a great tool for accessing information on all of our students at the touch of a button. I am able too search a students name and quickly access their profile with all of their information. The search capabiliy and the user friendly method for creating reports are both my favorite functions of this app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am unsure if this exists because of the way my school utilisizes powerschool but I wish there was an easier way for selecting specific dates as it relates to creating reports. I pull attendance reports quite a bit and instead of getting specific dates, I will get the attendance for the full year. I wish this function had more specific capabilities but it works overall Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PowerSchool is by far the best student information system I've worked with thus far. I've been in education for a little over 16 years, and we've tried the gambit. No need to mention the rest, we've tried them all and have been using PowerSchool for about 10 years now. And they have great tech support...! Best decision we ever made!!!

If I could change one thing about PowerSchool, it would absolutely be the cost for going to PowerSchool University. I learned more going to one of those conferences for 5 days, than I had all that year... Would love to attend again-- Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PowerSchool is the gold-standard - they are constantly working to improve their SIS and meet the needs of the educational community. They offer a wide variety of solutions, and are compatible with a large number of third-party applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They have a good product and they know it, so it's not inexpensive. Training costs are also pretty hefty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

PowerSchool has the tools and features under one umbrella. Attendance, Grades, Schedule, Demographic Information all right there at your fingertips. Much of it is able to be customized to meet your specific needs. The PowerSchool Insider is a video that airs (usually) every two weeks featuring something that PowerSchool is able to do that is a lesser known feature. I get LOTS of useful information from the PowerSchool Insider. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Contacts database was hard to configure when it first came out, but it is much more friendly now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most helpful thing about PowerSchool SIS is that it is in the real time mode. When you enter data, you don't have to wait until the next day to see the results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The downfall is that there are fields that you cannot query. Fields like lunch and EFA; even though I understand why, it would just be very easy if you could query these fields Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The support network for PowerSchool is truly amazing. I never have an issue getting someone to help when needed. Trainers and support personnel are former practicing educators and really have an in-depth knowledge of what schools need.

The SIS really integrates with so many PowerSchool products that every one of your school's needs could be met. From typical learning management, grade books, and scheduling, to emergency notification systems and lunch account tracking. PowerSchool can integrate just about any tool to help make your systems more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would love to see some Google Classroom integration for grade books in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
