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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to use PowerSchool for grades inputting and keeping parents up to date concerning student’s progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This program is is so easy to use and has so much availability for teacher and student information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t have a dislike perse, but I do think the file uploading could be a little less involved Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
