Bewertungen über Power School
Power School does everything you would want in school management; it's just not easy to do so.
Vorteile:
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.
Nachteile:
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.
Power school reviewed by a high school teacher
Kommentare: 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.
Vorteile:
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.
Nachteile:
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.
Accomplishes Its Goal
Kommentare: Power School gets the job done, plain and simple.
Vorteile:
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.
Nachteile:
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.
Powerschool
Kommentare: Helpful and very effective. Teachers are very responsive by emails. Easy to find missing assignments and/or fix bad grades
Vorteile:
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.
Nachteile:
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.
Cost-effective SIS for k-12 schools
Vorteile:
Uses an Oracle back-end that allows us to use sequel scripts Very customizable page and data management (supports Ajax, JavaScript, sql) Cheapest SIS solution among its peers (infinite campus, Eschool) in the northeast
Nachteile:
Parent portal functionality is very rudimentary out of the box when compared to the functionality of its competitors’ portals Support is very inconsistent and can vary wildly in quality depending on who answers the phone
