I also enjoy how quickly I can enter grades in for a group of students not just one at a time. It is also very easy to add standards into Powerschool for classes. It is also nice for special education because you can put the accommodations in Powerschool and teachers can just check off daily when students use the accommodations on the assignment. > > **Cons**: What I like least is the support with getting my password when I forgot it. It feels like I have to jump through hoops sometimes to get access to resetting my password. > > I think it is a great tool for all educators. I use it as a specials teacher and have to enter grades for students but I also use it as a special education teacher. I often need to find contact information for parents quickly and/or attendance and grades for reports I am completing. ----- ### "Power School does everything you would want in school management; it's just not easy to do so." — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *15 December 2017* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Entering and calculating grades is very easy, as is making information available to families. It comes paired with applications that work on mobile devices. The apps have less features but their availability is essential. > > **Cons**: The back end--run by school administration--is needlessly complicated. Setting it up takes far more steps than it should. Although you pay for customer support the quality and consistency of the support is varied at best. ----- ### "Accomplishes Its Goal" — 3.0/5 > **Jeremy** | *10 March 2019* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Power School does the thing that it states it can do, it stores grades for your students and allows them to see them as you put them in the grade book. In that sense, it does what it sets out to do. Throwing grades in the book and viewing them is fairly easy. > > **Cons**: Certain things are more complicated to do then most. Sometimes grades will not save and will not allow the students to view them. It is a recurring theme that gets old fairly quickly. > > Power School gets the job done, plain and simple. ----- ### "Power school reviewed by a high school teacher" — 4.0/5 > **David** | *16 February 2019* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It allows me to take attendance daily, input grades, check a student's grades, schedule, and parent/guardian contact info, and it has a very simple user interface. > > **Cons**: It is not always user friendly, and some tasks are not straight-forward to complete. For instance, attendance is done in Power school, but grades are done in Power school Pro, and you must keep flipping between the two. In previous versions a teacher could do grade "previews" where they could show a student how an assignment grade would impact their overall grade without actually putting it in the grade book. Now, teachers do not have that ability. Also, many students have power school on their phones so they get notifications to grade updates. This can be frustrating for a teacher since there is no way to save your current grades without publishing them. So, once you start entering grades in for an assignment you need to do all of them or students will be asking a ton of questions about why theirs wasn't graded. > > Overall it is a very decent program. I have used Skyward in the past and I prefer Power School. I am speaking from my experience as a high school teacher so I do not know how elementary teachers feel about this. ----- ### "Powerschool" — 5.0/5 > **Thao** | *16 July 2021* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Convenient and informative. I used it everyday to keep track of my son’s grades and attendance and also to communicate with teachers regarding missing homework. > > **Cons**: Difficult to login. Lots of error messages even when using the same login information. I have the same problem when using the app on my mobile phone or the desktop computers. > > Helpful and very effective. Teachers are very responsive by emails. Easy to find missing assignments and/or fix bad grades ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/16487/power-school?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/16487/power-school) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
