SchoolStatus Reviews & Product Details

I have been using SchoolStatus for six years, and I particularly value its features that enhance parent communication. I like its ability to record calls, which is immensely useful for keeping track of communications. Additionally, the option to mass text parents saves me time and effort, allowing me to reach everyone promptly. One of the functionalities I appreciate most is being able to call parents without using my personal number, which adds a layer of privacy and security. Furthermore, the quality of calls and texts is outstanding, providing clear and reliable communication. The initial setup of SchoolStatus was very simple and easy, and I have successfully used it across multiple school districts. I also want to mention how likely I am to recommend SchoolStatus to others; I would confidently rate it a ten out of ten for recommendation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not like that my phone does not ring when parents call me back. I wish it would notify when they are calling so that I could reach out to them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using SchoolStatus for about three years primarily to communicate with all the parents and guardians of my students. It's a great way to communicate, making interactions with parents so much easier. I love how simple the setup process was; I just plugged in my school email, and everything else was updated. The platform is incredibly effective and easy to use for communication. I can call, send messages, and broadcast big messages to large groups of students' parents. The phone calls and messaging system features are particularly useful for me. SchoolStatus also integrates well with Google, adding to its efficiency. It serves as an efficient communication tool for sharing positive notes, behavior notes, and academic updates with parents and guardians. These capabilities combined make it a resource I would recommend to my school to continue using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

After using school status for a number of years. I can truly say it is a great tool for teachers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to be able to create subgroups easier. It would be nice to send a broadcast to a select group of students and not have to go through each one of my classes and individual students to do so. A tick mark to send the broadcast would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love being able to send broadcast messages when we need a group of people to get the same message. It's so convenient being able to see other staff members' engagement, so I can document teacher communication with parents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would still love to have been able to print engagement by user. This is helpful when updating parent contact by student or having to provide documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the most helpful part about School Status is how easy it is to use and having ALL the student information you need in one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The least helpful thing is if parents' information is not up to date in the system. I love using School Status to contact parents, but if their information is incorrect, that makes it harder to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the CYA aspect. I appreciate that it documents all of my contacts/attempts at contacts and documents the entire conversation so that it cuts down on the "he said, she said" with parents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that every time my screen locks on my phone, the app will not save a broadcast in progress. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of SchoolStatus’s strongest features is its seamless integration of student information. Teachers and administrators can view attendance, grades, behavior reports, test scores, and more—all in one place. This holistic view allows educators to make data-informed decisions quickly.

While the platform is user-friendly overall, some users may need training to fully utilize its data tools, especially at the administrative level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate how easy it is to use and how quickly I can look things up when working on a computer. I like the fact that I can send out group messages to a particular group of students and/or broadcast to an entire class. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike how the app has the students listed by first name instead of last name. Sometimes the app on the phone doesn't work and calls get dropped. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how I can group my students into different classes to send a broadcast to all parents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the speaker phone doesn't work on my phone. I also don't always receive notifications that I may have missed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In School Status, I love the easy access to all of my students' data. From discipline to test data, it's all at the click of a button! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would still like a collected list that would populate that has all the students' parents that opted out of class notification/parent contact. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
