It's fairy quick, reasonably easy to use. I don't really care for the layout, it's not especially intuitive or easy to find what you're looking for if you haven't had extensive training. I've been using it for quite a while now and there are still times when I can't find something I need easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Skyward Student Information System? The mobile site is atrocious. It's basically unusable. I mentioned this before, but the layout isn't great even on the desktop sign. It's not intuitive and definitely isn't easily usable for someone who isn't especially computer savvy- which teachers sometimes aren't. I've done some training for our teachers and find that they're not able to easily adapt when coming from another software, but if it's their first student management software they tend to pick it up relatively easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Skyward Student Information System: If mobile use is important to you keep looking. If not, this is a solid option. Keep in mind that you may want to provide extensive training on its use since it's...well, not the easiest software to pick up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Skyward Student Information System solving and how is that benefiting you? I work for a school district. We track all student data using Skyward Student Management Suite. It does make it easier to have it all centralized on a responsive and easy to navigate site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Once you figure out how to enter in the information, this software speeds up the process of requesting time off and getting expense reimbursement. When you make a request in the system, an email is fired off to your supervisor and they can immediately approve or deny your request. It is much quicker than phone calls, emails, or paper submissions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Skyward Student Information System? The system is not user friendly. There are multiple tabs, pop up windows, and technical language that make it difficult to navigate around. Several more seasoned employees in my department who were not very tech savvy had extreme difficulties figuring out how to use it. It’s not a program that is conducive to having users figure it out on their own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Skyward Student Information System: Be prepared to offer a lot of training in order to help staff use this software. Once trained though, this software increases communication and efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pretty easy. It is user friendly and tech support is helpful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Skyward Student Information System? Gets confusing between parent, student, finance, and secure access. Also that because I have a partner teacher, she is the one who has to do parent conferences and I can't really help her.

It can do multiple functions for a district all in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Skyward Student Information System? It takes too many clicks to do something with multiple repetitive screens. It takes far too long to do something.

I appreciate that all the different functions that are available and can be added to the Skyward system. Our district went from having multiple systems for daily tasks (credit card reconciliation, time off requests, purchase requisitions, etc) to having Skyward as our "go-to" resource. This has been beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Skyward Student Information System? I dislike the user interface and the lack of user-friendliness. We are entering our 2nd year using Skyward and we still have several hurdles that hold back our productivity. First, the inability to edit submitted items -- if there are any changes, that the item must go through the purchase approval queue. Next, we had hundreds of paycheck issues as a result of the data migration from our previous system. For a district that has 3500 employees, this was a terrible first impression. Lastly, Skyward wants to charge our district for every little change. For example, they are are charging a significant fee to change the default signature on our printed checks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Skyward Student Information System: I know that many districts in our area have successfully used Skyward for years. However, as a brand new user, I found the entire user interface to be cumbersome and very difficult to navigate. Especially in a world with Apple, Google, and the like, the Skyward system looks like it was created in MS-DOS and hasn't changed in the last 20 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Skyward Student Information System solving and how is that benefiting you? We have realized that Skyward is on the right track to improving our productivity. However, if the user interface does not improve then we will likely look for an alternative solution. They already have the "bones" in place for a great system but it's just not meeting our modern-day standards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

NC Natalie C. High School Social Studies Teacher Education Management Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 11/8/2017 "Teacher's Review of Skyward" 5/5 What do you like best about Skyward Student Information System? Skyward is easy to use and to quickly become a master user is simple. Having the ability to see other family in schools. Being able to customize the profile is really nice and it is actually an appealing interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Skyward Student Information System? Having to switch between different modes to see different information is somewhat annoying but it doesn't affect my opinion that much of the software. The text boxes are small and will not automatically expand when you are typing. Also there are often times when the information isn't concise and you can't see it all without expanding multiple bullet points. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Skyward Student Information System: Maybe compiling and joining some information that is repetitive and simplifying the information instead of having to switch between different modes. Also adjusting the text boxes and incorporating a spell check would be helpful. Also making a better mobile app would better suit the teacher on the move. Maybe if we were able to incorporate a feature that would allow the teacher or principal to email the parents immediately when there is a referral in the profile for said student instead of waiting for the parent to login and see the information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Skyward Student Information System solving and how is that benefiting you? I work in a school environment so there aren't many business problems that is is solving other than managing student profiles and allowing ease of access to teachers.
