Sycamore Education provides a great way to manage information for small to medium size schools. It allows for organization of documents, tracking of attendance, management of schedules, and posting of grades. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Sycamore? Though highly useful as a one-stop website for school management, the interface is not terribly intuitive and the initial set-up takes a fair amount of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Sycamore: If your school is relatively small (under 500 students), I believe Sycamore Education is a reasonably priced and usable solution. There may be some difficulty with the initial set-up, but once all data is entered and parameters are set, Sycamore is effective at managing school information. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Sycamore solving and how is that benefiting you? Instead of using multiple school information systems, Sycamore Education puts most of the tools necessary for school management in one place. As a new school, we evaluated several options to wrangle our data. Many options proved prohibitively expensive and included features that we had no use for. Sycamore hit the right spot for both price and functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Show More 7/12/2018 Validated ReviewerIncentivizedSource: G2 invite CB Casandra B.

This is the first management system I have actually liked because it’s website is user friendly. Teachers can use batch email to communicate with parents, while parents can check grades etc all on one site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Sycamore? They have developed an app but it is obvious it is still in the beginning stages. Parents cannot see Homework or grades correctly as opposed to being on website. The app also doesn’t have all the menu options listed as the website does so there’s certain things you can’t do on app. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Sycamore: It is great to use and it’s even greater to know they are still revamping it and making it better. It’s weaknesses right now lie in the app use, but they have already implemented many changes so I’m sure in time it’ll be full functioning:) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I can use sycamore from the app or from ,y classroom computer. I like that so don’t have to do any special submit of semester grades. I like that you can add up to 5 assignments at a time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Sycamore? I don’t like that you have to save out of pages quite often, auto save would help. When adding assignments, I can only add calendar days for th next Week at a time. This can be worked around, but is not automatic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Sycamore: Take your time to practice and you can have success with it.

There are some ways in which Sycamore is not user friendly, specifically in the app when parents are viewing their student's classes. It is difficult for them to find their class home pages and work and such. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Sycamore: There are setup videos that Sycamore provides. Since this system is so multi-faceted, I would reccommend watching each video and collecting as many details about the system that you can. While trial and error can be an efective way of learning a system, learning as much as you can prior to use can be helpful, especially with how crazy the beginning of school year can be!
