## PowerSchool Special Programs Reviews
  ### 1. I loved it. So clean and easy to understand.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** September 17, 2023

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

It provided me an easy and accessible way to access my grades throughout the year. I loved the formatting, and colors. Overall, it was a very appealing app. There aren't too many buttons so it doesn't confuse me.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

This may be just my personal experience with my own school, however power school never provided a cummalitive gpa of all my classes and grades. For someone that's really dedicated to her grades this was something I would have liked access to.

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

Not problems per say. It did just give me an easy way to see ll my grades in one area. Which is something that's really important for a student. My performance definitely increased.

  ### 2. Special Programs is Awful. Use any other program if possible

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** July 14, 2022

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

Nothing! Special programs is awful - don't use it.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

Not user-friendly AT ALL. It's extremely frustrating to navigate.

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

Special Programs is completely horrific to use - if you can avoid using it, do so at all costs for your sanity. The staff at my school aren't even using it yet, because it's not user-friendly at all. I've been working for the past year to get it to a point where it can be used at my schools and my experience has been extremely frustrating.

First, in January of 2022, I met with a rep to talk about documents that we would like to have changed or added to Special Programs. It took him and his team 4 months (May 2022) to get back to us on the cost of what those documents would cost (and that was only after I pestered him with emails). The cost for those documents to be made was going to be over $40,000, so I decided to edit the documents that I could. 

If you're good at coding or understand how data systems work, then MAYBE you could understand how to edit documents, but for me it was a painful process. I have had to call the help-line at least once a week and their redeeming quality is that the customer service people are very friendly. However, if they don't know the answer to your question, they'll open a ticket with you (fairly normal). But then it could take them another TWO MONTHS to get back to you on your questions. And again, that's only AFTER you've emailed them and asked them for follow up. The other thing that is extremely frustrating is that they rarely know how to troubleshoot their own system. Not their fault, but it's so frustrating when I call and 50% of the time they say "Oh, you should be able to see (this) or you should be able to do (that)" and then I can't and then they have to open a ticket and I have to wait for weeks for the issue to be resolved. 

I have small panic attacks when I think about how I'm going to be able to train my staff on this system, when it's so frustrating to use. Teachers and school staff have enough paperwork that they have to do, you'd think systems that are designed to help schools would be user friendly and easy to use. Not the case. 

Do yourself a favor and DON'T buy or use Special Programs!

  ### 3. Ok, but not parent friendly

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Amanda C. | Administrative Office Technician, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 06, 2020

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

I like the organization on the side, each category is there to click on, that's the easiest bit of it.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

Otherwise,  don't think it's very parent friendly. Sometimes you fill out information and it seems like you haven't finished it, or when you log in again it seems like you need to fill it out again. It's not very clear that it's done and doesn't need anything else to be completed. Other times you can't find information because its' not always there (for example, transportation info). I'd think that for a less computer savvy parent, it would be quite an ordeal to work with.

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

It's good for collecting student information and disseminating student info to the parents. It's nice that it's all in one spot.

  ### 4. PowerSchool Tool

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Natasha M. | Teacher, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 22, 2021

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

It is a great tool for grading, posting assignments, and for students to see how they are doing. It is also convenient for the Special Ed database to be on the same portal.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

It frequently has tech issues both on the Special Ed Portal as well as on the Unified Classroom.

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

I like for attendance and grading to be on the same portal.

  ### 5. Great suite of programs

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** November 05, 2020

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

The Powerschool suite of programs creates a great unified and streamlined process of utilizing data and connecting it to other part of the education system.  We use all aspects of the Powerschool system from assessment to data management and it is nice to have it all in one location.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

While Powerschool has grown and evolved tremendously, it still can be overwhelming to navigate through.  While having multiple reports is nice to have, there are numerous ones that are not clear as to their intentions as well as use.  Since I have District access, Powerschool, does not have a very streamlined method to also filter information easily.

**Recommendations to others considering PowerSchool Special Programs:**

It is really important to ensure that you partake in any professional learning that is offered as there is so much to this program and the suite of programs.  It is necessary to be able to utilize the program to its fullest.

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

Having access and the ability to use PowerSchool for multiple platforms is great!  It makes it easy to pull data in when needed to justify decisions as well as look at longitudinal data.

  ### 6. Not a Fan

**Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** December 10, 2020

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

I like that it is relatively easy to navigate and parents can access it.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

It does not feel updated. I also hate that it logs me out after a certain amount of time and that it is not super friendly for putting classes in. Our school uses Canvas for normal grades and Powerschool for attendance and final grades. It's a bummer that we can not use both functions in one platform.

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

Honestly, it's not very good.

  ### 7. PowerSchool

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** November 15, 2020

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

The best thing I like about PowerSchool is it is easy to use and user friendly. All of my Co-workers like PowerSchool and only have positive things to say about it.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

At this time there is nothing that I dislike about PowerSchool.

**Recommendations to others considering PowerSchool Special Programs:**

I recommend any one who is in the Education field to use this program. It has everything that you could possible need to help you with teaching.

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

The program helped me solve problems with lesson plans and creating assignments. It gave me the necessary tools to help with these issues and to be more effective in the classroom.

  ### 8. Great Tool

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** October 27, 2020

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

I highly recommend PowerSchool.  It is very user friendly and gives you a ton of customization options.  It is easy for all stakeholders to use and access from teachers, parents, admin and students.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

I do not have any downsides.  It'd be nice if it integrated more smoothly with Google Classroom for grading purposes, but that is not a huge downside since many do not integrate yet.  I'm hoping that will come with time.

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

One benefit I've realized is using the Groups feature for grading.  It allows you to see all students in one grade at one time.  It makes entering grades much easier.

  ### 9. As a parent of two highschoolers i feel it is easy to access grades

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

  ### 11. Game changer 

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 15, 2019

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

I love how I can stay in close contact with my daughter and her progress toward her goals!  Being a working mom of a child with a disability it can be hard to balance the two and PowerSchool makes it easy 

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

I just dislike this wasn’t available sooner for my family. I absolutely love this program.

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

I can now quickly communicate with teachers which surely helps a working mom like myself. I don’t need to call or run up to the school when I need immediate contact. I can see what homework my children have without asking and know when it is turned in on time 

  ### 12. Teacher

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** August 16, 2019

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

Being able to use PowerSchool for grades inputting and keeping parents up to date concerning student’s progress.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

What I’ve seem to notice is the loading time for certain tabs. This may not be due to PowerSchool itself but the connection through the district where I work.

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

Being able to keep an accurate account of attendance and grading for students. I’ve been able to make sure that all grade information and courses are there.

  ### 13. PowerSchool

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** November 08, 2018

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

I love that PowerSchool is able to flag a students disability so that anyone that has this student in class is immediately aware, I also like the data tracking that coincides with behaviors and grading.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

I would like to see PowerSchool have easier screens and tabs. It is semi user friendly and could work on the platform being fully user friendly.

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

It immediately alerts any staff/personnel that the student has a disability and what that disability is, as well as, what accommodations are needed.

  ### 14. Great for IEPs 

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** July 16, 2018

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

I like that is is easy to use. I also like that it allows me to label my goals. It has a lot of features that make writing and navigating the IEP much easier. 

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

I do not like how only one professional could access a student account. This makes it difficult when multiple professionals are trying to write an IEP for a student. 

**Recommendations to others considering PowerSchool Special Programs:**

Make sure you save digital files from old IEP software and plan to iput all old information in yourself, unless willing to wait 6 months. 

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

Keeping detailed and updated IEPs. 

  ### 15. Good access to past SpEd docs, slows down work WiFi.

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Robyn B. | School Social Worker, Primary/Secondary Education, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 15, 2018

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

I work at a charter school within the Chicago Public School system, and through PowerSchool SpEd, we are able to view all special education documents pertaining for each student. We are an open enrollment school, and we receive students from elementary schools all across the city. Rarely are we provided with the paper version of a student's cumulative file of special education documents. We even receive students who began schooling in Chicago, moved out of the district, and returned--and we're able to see all documents created when they were attending CPS schools.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

Nothing is more devastating than directly inputting a case note or an evaluation, and having the program freeze or shut down and losing all your work. I learned this lesson the hard way, and now always create all my work on a Word document before uploading anything. This program also seems to use a lot of data, as all other programs that use the Internet slow down when I have PowerSchool SpEd running.

**Recommendations to others considering PowerSchool Special Programs:**

Always create any document in a Word or a like program, do not directly type into PowerSchool SpEd.

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

Using PowerSchool SpEd our school is able to deliver the special education services that are students deserve and to which they are entitled. All documents created within the CPS district, which is the third-largest school district in the country, can follow an individual student to whichever school they attend within the district. 

  ### 16. PowerSchool Special Education Recommended

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Charles T. | Director Of Technology, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 31, 2017

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

Most users find this to be an easy system to use to manage special education data on students. Concerns and questions are answered in a timely manner by the support team. Direct connection to PowerSchool data results in less information to manually enter and more up to date information.  This integration is critical to a successful system.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

There is a time limit that results in automated log outs that are frustrating due to the short time.  We understand a time limit, but it has the shortest time limit of any program we use or have ever used. We would like to be able to receive information in "Word" rather than "pdf", or some other editable text format. We understand this is done for security purposes, but if there would be a way to change it and still be secure that would be helpful. We also want to be able to collectively gather all of our students progress monitoring notes into one bucket to send out at once.

**Recommendations to others considering PowerSchool Special Programs:**

Seriously consider this as a solution if you use PowerSchool now.  The integration is critical to effective data management for special education needs and reporting.

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

Less time on receiving record information from other users in the state. Easy program for case managers to learn. One stop shopping for easy access to a students' information. Easy to upload paperwork from other districts. 

  ### 17. Power School used on a daily basis

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** virginia c. | Special Education Teacher, The Washington Center, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 29, 2017

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

I like that Power School SPED keeps up with all my data and I may pull a report effortlessly at any point in the day. It is user-friendly and easy to access.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

I dislike that the attendance portion of Power School is dependent upon my remembering to log on and use it. There is no reminder email, and if forgotten, the system automatically calls parents at a certain time in the morning alerting them their student didn't make it to school.

**Recommendations to others considering PowerSchool Special Programs:**

It is a great product for keeping Special Education records and reports. It is user friendly, and easy to access for all teachers and administrators.

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

We are able to keep MANY MANY records using PowerSchool at a personal level, school-wide level, and district level with ease.

  ### 18. Very Frustrating Program for Very Important Problems

**Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** January 26, 2018

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

When I was employed as a bilingual special education teacher for two years, it was important for me to be able to thoroughly explain and document my students' and their families' experiences. I liked that there was no word or character limit for these fields. 

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

What regularly infuriated me in this program was that another user could log in to the same student's online file at the same time and start editing it and that would cancel out the work that I had done, and the program would never notify me of that. I would only notice once I tried to save and lost the information from my input. 

**Recommendations to others considering PowerSchool Special Programs:**

Because the save features are inconsistent, and other users can go in and edit your documents with no notification, while you are trying to edit your documents, it is important to prepare all written answers in a separate file like Word so that you can copy and paste and not lose hours of work.

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

Legally documenting the status and services for students with special education needs or inquiries is of the utmost importance. I was able to document accommodations and protections for students that were legally protected and life-changing.

  ### 19. Neutral About PowerSchool

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** December 13, 2017

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

I like the grading system in PowerSchool and the ability for instructors & students to engage back & forth about an assignment grade. The inbox/mail feature is good as well as it is convenient.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

I find PowerSchool is difficult to navigate for Students. There is often confusion for students where to locate assignments & information in the beginning as it can be in a few varying places & some locations will go more in-depth than others.

**Recommendations to others considering PowerSchool Special Programs:**

Keep your usage of PowerSchool as simple and as consistent as possible. There are multiple places to present information, so you want your users to know exactly where to go to get the full content each time.

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

We utilized PowerSchool for a certification course. It was a place where my team would go to gather the month's assignments and communicate with one another on topics via the comments section. If you're looking for feedback, the comments are useful.

  ### 20. User friendly

All IEP documents are kept in one place and can be accessed online at any time. It makes collaboration for IEP writing easy as people can work from any location to access/add/change documents.

If you don't have internet available, you are not able to access the files.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** October 26, 2017

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

I liked how easy it was to put in all the activities, organize them and easily refer back to them. I like how each category can have its own weight, so I didn’t have to calculate it every time.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

The only thing I disliked was that past classes, for previous years, were still there. It muddled up the look of it a bit, but it wasn’t so aweful.

**Recommendations to others considering PowerSchool Special Programs:**

Easy way to keep organized wherever you are.

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

It’s a place to organize assignments and activities to be able to make sure each child is getting what they need and understanding each level.

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

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

**Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2016

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

The best part of having PowerSchool and TieNet as one product instead of two (PowerSchool Special Education) is that everything is connected by one login.  No more need for multiple logins.

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

The special education end of PowerSchool (TieNet) is not always easy to manage.

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

Having the two systems connected allows Special Education teachers to stay connected with General Education teachers.

  ### 27. Well designed System, needs improvements 

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Sarah P. | Speech Language Pathologist, Health, Wellness and Fitness, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 14, 2016

**What do you like best about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

This system is simple to use and it tracks all essential IEP data in one place. 

**What do you dislike about PowerSchool Special Programs?**

The system blanks out when it is updating, so when I go to check my compliance mid-month (for example today which is actually my last day at a school for the year) I can't see the numbers because the system update has wiped all entered data to 0%. 

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

We use this as an IEP tracking system and it has been beneficial.
