It is the most commonly-used SIS in Virginia, so it works with more other programs than most Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PowerSchool SIS? Their operations and business functionality are terrible. They are too big and cannot function properly. They overlooked the project merging two school districts' SIS instances into a single SIS, getting us off to a disastrous start for the school year, dropped the project a month in, and I ended up doing over 50% of the work for the project, moving data over, correcting mistakes made, and at the end of it, they're still asking for over $60k for their "services." The business side was not able to handle the invoice and account changes right, and we are still working with them to resolve it all, on top of all of the countless hours being diverted from supporting instruction to having to manage the mess they gave us. PowerSchool is the worst EdTech company to work with in a field where the bar is already set very low. Large companies ruin EdTech - go with smaller companies' products, they manage it better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PowerSchool SIS solving and how is that benefiting you? Managing and organizing student data and rostering with other systems.

For example, generating all of the student data can take some getting used to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PowerSchool SIS solving and how is that benefiting you? Power School makes it easier to have a “one-stop shop” for student behavioral data and grading.

GH Garrett H. Technical Support Analyst Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 8/12/2025 "PowerSchool is an Essential Part of Managing our School." 4/5 What do you like best about PowerSchool SIS? While PowerSchool SIS may not be the most intuitive system to learn at first, its depth of features and integrations make it an incredibly powerful tool once you begin to tap into its capabilities. Over time, we’ve discovered just how seamlessly it connects with other platforms we use daily—such as Finalsite, Edlio, and Clever—streamlining many aspects of our school’s operations. In the last two years, we’ve fully embraced its inventory system, which has become an essential part of managing our technology resources. The built-in sample reports have also been invaluable, serving as a model for how we communicate with parents this year. One standout for us has been the integration with MBA Add-Ons, which truly opened our eyes to features and efficiencies within PowerSchool that we hadn’t realized were possible. This combination has helped us unlock an entirely new level of functionality. Lastly, the customer service deserves recognition—they are responsive, persistent, and committed to resolving any issues until we’re completely satisfied. Overall, PowerSchool SIS has proven to be a robust and evolving solution that continues to grow with us as we explore its full potential. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about PowerSchool SIS? My biggest challenge with PowerSchool is its complexity. While the system is powerful, it can be difficult to figure out how to complete certain tasks or pinpoint the source of an issue. Navigating its many layers often takes time and patience, especially for new or infrequent users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is PowerSchool SIS solving and how is that benefiting you? Before we started using PowerSchool more fully, we maintained all Tech Inventory and Student Attendance in a Google Spreadsheet. PowerSchool at the very least is helping to streamline our processes and provide a professional solution that is backed by an industry leader. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
