SchoolMint Hero Reviews & Product Details

I like being able to track students who aren't even on my roster. I love the ease of rewarding students.

The app is handy for input from a cell phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that there's a place for photos, but the thumbnails are too small to see clearly, it's not helpful at all.

The app is not particularly handy for students to have on their own phones. It's slow when I need to quickly look someone up.

We have has ENORMOUS problems with the printers. They have proved to be a great expense which is usually not working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its interface is very user friendly and easy to use. It is very helpful to engage the students is activities. It gives the ability to parents to check their children in the classroom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it not work properly on the phone. It is a little bit expansive than the other alternatives. It improves the scanner function sometimes is not work well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the way you can focus on the positive behaviors in your classroom instead of negative ones. It rewards students for doing the "right thing". Before hero I often focus on the students that where doing the "wrong behaviors" Now with hero its turn the focus of them onto the students that do the right thing all the time and in-turn students that use to get the focus now have to do the opposite behavior "right thing" to get the attention they are wanting.

Now that hero has changed a few things that teachers where asking for on the website it has been great, for example you were only able to give one point for one behavior now you can select multiple behaviors at once that students are doing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hero can be used to reward, and thus, reinforce, positive student behaviors. The user can choose from a number of predefined behaviors (I assume these are chosen by school leaders when setting up the school-wide account) and grant the student points to both track and reward the behavior(s).

Hero can also be used to track infractions (tardiness, dress code violations, etc.) by choosing from a set of predefined behaviors. When these behaviors are tracked, points are deducted from the student's "account." At my school, students can use their points to "purchase" items from our school store, and behavior tracking is integrated into our PBIS program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The user is only able to choose from a predefined set of behaviors to reward or track infractions. I understand the need to track a uniform set of behaviors across the school (perhaps those that the school would especially like to reinforce and/or reduce), but it would be great if users could add a specific behavior to track on-the-fly in an "other" field. I am not sure if the Hero app offers this flexibility after the school account has been created. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that this is something I have been doing all my years teaching and now it's easier and school wide instead of just me doing it alone. This program has made it so much easier to give students positive reinforcement. It's all tracked on the computer and I can just put the tickets up on the screen as the students walk in. They love it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike how the app for the phone is not really that great. It's slow and the scanner doesn't work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to track both positive and negative behaviors. I also like the fact that students are able to see how many points they have accumulated as well as what positive and negative behaviors have been tracked for them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there was a way that teachers could reset students' passwords. The biggest issue we are having is students remembering their passwords. We have had to revoke so many keys because our students are not allowed access to email with their school email accounts so when they forget their password, the only option is to have it sent to their email which they have no access. Maybe if there was another way to reset their password, like maybe them answering some security questions, would be very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the fact that our students have the ability to track their own points, and can hold our teachers accountable for the point delivery that we have set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do dislike the fact that I have to sync my printer each time I open the app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that hero is user friendly and helps organize and compile your data. I like the positive aspects of hero as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There isn't much i do not like about hero. It does have to be a group effort for the school. All faculty and staff has to use hero for it to be effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how you can track each students tardies every day and it automatically assigns consequences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that we can't have two groups of students up at a time. We have certain students on modified plans that we have to change for every consequence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the ability to reward all students and use this to improve culture Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not found anything yet that I do not like Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
