What do you like best about School Loop?

A quick and easy way to send information and updates to students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about School Loop?

Speaking solely about the app, because I am rarely in front of a computer during my daily use; added functionality within the app would be nice. Currently you cannot include an attachment when sending a loop mail Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is School Loop solving and how is that benefiting you?

So far, nothing for me that an email address and a list of emails couldn’t do. The app needs much more functionality built-in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about School Loop?

School Loop really shines with modular page-building. School Loop makes it easy to create content that can then be dragged-and-dropped onto a page and rearranged. Any content that we'd add to the website would almost always meet ADA accessibility guidelines because School Loop can choose things like the web page's font size, high-contrast colors, layout, etc. School Loop also offers different pre-made page layouts that can give users more flexibility with adding and arranging content. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about School Loop?

Even though School Loop has an easy-to-use drag-and-drop interface, it definitely lacks practical functionality. School Loop has many quirks and workarounds needed that make it extremely difficult to train staff to use it effectively. For example, when editing a web page, the user needs to complete their content per section, then click the check box to exit the specific section. However, at that point in time, the content is not yet saved. The user is then faced with several options such as "preview," "save draft," and "publish and exit". If the user only previewed and didn't publish the content, then the content would likely be lost. If the user were to hit "publish and exit," then the content would go live without the user seeing the result; the web page would then remove the user from the page on which they were working. School Loop has too much potential for lost website content, especially when taking the product out of the hands of administrators and placing it into the hands of individual teachers. Lastly, many areas of the website have problem scaling well and adjusting between desktop/web viewing and mobile viewing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering School Loop:

School Loop does a good job for the cost, but consider if you want to invest a little more up-front for a more robust product that is easier to implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is School Loop solving and how is that benefiting you?

School Loop was the first of its kind in our organization to address website accessibility issues. While it lacked in the ability to fully notify us of all issues, having many ADA compliance guidelines automatically implemented by School Loop's platform made us rest easy knowing we were mostly, if not completely compliant. School Loop is a good first step towards web content management and ADA compliance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about School Loop?

I enjoy that School loop is integrated with both the instructor, student, and parent. I am able to check my son's grades but also get feedback on how to help him achieve better results in the future. I am able to assess how much school work he gets and how well he does on exams. I can pinpoint weaknesses where he can work on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about School Loop?

There is really nothing I dislike about this program. I enjoy that it is easily assessible with an app as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering School Loop:

Great tool for seeing your student's performance! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is School Loop solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am able to find out which subjects my son is struggling with and therefore help with or find a tutor for who can help him. I am also able to ask him how he feels after exams and gauge his performance on the actual test to see if there is a correlation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about School Loop?

School Loop provides a district with everything needed to run a school, communicate with families, educate students, grade student work and look at student records. This platform also tracks attendance - so it truly is a one-stop shop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about School Loop?

The initial integration with Google Classroom was subpar. It is better now and seems to just keep improving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering School Loop:

This is an easy-to use platform that provides districts with all of the tools needed to support student learning and manage student data. I wish I currently had this tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is School Loop solving and how is that benefiting you?

This platform allows families to get to know ONE system to check grades, send/get emails, and look into student work. With distance learning, this tool is invaluable. I have worked in several schools and two major districts. This program simplifies so much of my work as a teacher and administrator. I have had to use three different platforms to organize grades/attendance, student work, and send emails for one of my districts. This platform is much more efficient and way easier for families to manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about School Loop?

First, school loop allows parents, students, and teachers to communicate with each other easily. Next to each student's profile, there is a button for teacher to contact the parent of the student and other teachers that also have the same student. In addition, teacher can also see all the grades a student is earning. This helps teachers and parents to collaborate together to help a student to succeed in school.

I also like how teacher can post up assignments for parents and students to view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about School Loop?

I don't like how there isn't a way to save or transfer the calendar and posting from a previous year. This would save me time from posting the same assignment from year after year.

I would also like if there is a way for teacher to personalize their page on school loop, i.e. such as adding background. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is School Loop solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have not experience any problem with school loop yet for the past three years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
