"Effortless Communication with Parents"
5/5
What do you like best about SchoolStatus?

I find SchoolStatus to be an easy and effective way to communicate with classroom parents. I love the broadcast feature because it allows me to send blanket messages to all parents at once while including attachments. Having all the different features like messaging and contact info in one place is really convenient. It's such an easy way to message parents, and with the app, I can receive messages directly to my phone, making communication easy without constantly checking my email. The initial setup of SchoolStatus was very easy too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SchoolStatus?

The app could use an update to make it more modern looking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Seamless Parent Communication But Needs More Flexibility"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SchoolStatus?

I love how SchoolStatus helps me connect with parents for school announcements and behaviors. It's great that I can send out a blast text to all parents, which keeps my personal phone from being inundated with calls. I especially appreciate how it keeps my personal phone number private while still maintaining that personal connection with families. The initial setup was a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SchoolStatus?

I don't like that it doesn't save the groups for me, so I have to create a new group every time. I also don't like that it doesn't allow me to just select 'ALL CONTACTS' to send out a blast, and I have to go in and create the group. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Convenient and Streamlined School Communication"
5/5
What do you like best about SchoolStatus?

I like SchoolStatus because all the information I need for a student is all in one place, making it easier for me. If I need to contact a parent, I can do so right from my computer without going to the office to find the number. SchoolStatus makes it easy to contact parents, and I love the convenience. I also appreciate the ability to look up the classes the students have, which helps if I need to know what classes a student is in. Additionally, the initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SchoolStatus?

I can only get information about students I have in class and not the whole school Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Parent Communication with SchoolStatus"
5/5
What do you like best about SchoolStatus?

I like that with SchoolStatus, I can communicate with parents through my device without them having my personal information. It's great that I can call parents from my laptop or my device and still maintain privacy. The system is very handy because it links with our information system, allowing me to quickly look up a student by typing in their name. Plus, I can access it on my mobile device without being restricted to just the desktop version. It makes communication immediate, and I don't have to spend time searching for information.

What do you dislike about SchoolStatus?

I have not had any issues with SchoolStatus Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Communication and Comprehensive Student Insights"
5/5
What do you like best about SchoolStatus?

I really appreciate the ease of use of SchoolStatus and how I can access it on both my phone and computer. It's super helpful for contacting students' families and keeps all the communication seamless. The information about student birthdays is a nice touch too, providing a way to know more about them, which feels personal and thoughtful. Setting it up was very easy, and it's become an invaluable tool in bridging communication gaps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SchoolStatus?

Sometimes the messages aren't in the correct order when typing a text message that is over 160 characters. It would be helpful if messages over 160 characters are delivered in order to the recipient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Immediate Parent Feedback and Easy Communication with Recorded Calls"
5/5
What do you like best about SchoolStatus?

I love being able to provide parents with immediate feedback. I also appreciate that parents are very likely to respond to text messages, which makes communication much easier. On top of that, I love that all phone conversations are recorded so I can review them later if needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SchoolStatus?

Accessing data for state test assessments and finding individualized student information can sometimes be difficult. I often struggle to locate consolidated student data in one place, and it isn’t always easy to find what I need quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy Access to Student Forms and Parent Contacts, but App Notifications Can Frustrate"
3.5/5
What do you like best about SchoolStatus?

I can find student forms easily, such as IEP's and 504s. It is helpful to have this information in one place. Parent contact information is also here, and I can contact parents directly through school status. The phone app is not perfect, but generally helpful if I need to contact a parent away from my classroom. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SchoolStatus?

The phone app will tell me that I have pending notifications when I have already responded. It can be especially frustrating when I need to send out mass text to parents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Preferred Language Option Makes Parent Communication Clear and Easy"
4.5/5
What do you like best about SchoolStatus?

As a school interpreter, the most helpful has been the preferred language option. Now teachers and administrators can communicate with parents directly and know that their messages are being understood. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SchoolStatus?

The SchoolStatus program will get "stuck" on a student. I'm not sure if it's the program or just my computer, but at log-in, the same student will become my Home Screen, even after the student has withdrawn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effective Communication with Inconsistent App Performance"
4/5
What do you like best about SchoolStatus?

I use SchoolStatus as a simple, quick tool to keep students and teams informed of important updates, changes, and events. I like that all contact info for students, parents, and guardians is easy to find and sort through. The SchoolStatus Classic version provides simple basics for effective communication. The initial setup was simple, which I appreciated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SchoolStatus?

The app for Android is not consistent and requires constant resetting and rebooting. This should really get improved/reliable before next school year begins. The app often does not notify me of messages even with getting all notifications turned on and working with customer support. Just not reliable with notifications.

"Essential for Parent-Teacher Communication"
5/5
What do you like best about SchoolStatus?

I use SchoolStatus for communication with parents and I love that it records my meetings for IEPs if done by phone. I absolutely love the connection it gives me to parents on a safe platform. The ability to record meetings is fantastic because if something is questioned, the information from that meeting is right there. I love the attachments component because it allows teachers to see an uploaded IEP and keep up to date on a student. It's such an easy format to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SchoolStatus?

I did not dislike anything it is an awesome platform Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
