Administrative Office Technician Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 11/6/2020 "Ok, but not parent friendly" 3/5 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
