Alternativas de Focus SIS Mejor Valoradas
I like that Focus allows me to see information on the individual as needed. It also has photos, which help so that am easily able to identify the individual. There are updates, such as birthdays, changes, and reminders that occur daily. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
I do not like that I have to "hunt" for certain pieces of information. It seems that this should be easier, but I find myself clicking and searching just to find a note that I made or a phone number. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

single sign on feature, everything in one place. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
not being able to see the total count of students after I take attendance.
with admin access I would like to be able to view teachers gradebooks instead of looking up students individually to see what their grades are in the class. I am an ESE support teacher and it would help me a lot to see the grades of the students I support by seeing the teacher's gradebook.
Some data can be consolidated. The emails for parents can be found in multiple locations. Should be in just one place. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
FOCUS is very user friendly and provides the ability to maintain student, user and teacher information all in one area. You can access student records, staff/user credentials, and teacher schedules all at the click of a button. Advanced reports can be created and modified to fit the data you need. It's simple to walk through and offers multiple options to maintain all your student / school records in one place. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
At times, due to all the information that FOCUS can provide, it looks a bit overwhelming. There are many sections and links to get to areas that could be more simplified. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

No he encontrado nada que no me guste hasta ahora. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
I like being able to grade from anywhere. I also like being able to have multiple tabs of the program open in order to quickly switch from attendance to grades. I like having the classroom log feature to keep track of my communication with parents and students. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
Focus seems like a grade portal with hidden treasures. So hidden that they never get used. While I like being able to grade from anywhere, I do think that it's time for a system facelift. Maybe it's just the version my school district uses, but it does look outdated. From my use of the system it appears that you can assign students assignments. I am still unsure of how to use this element of the program. There are also some features that aren't as clear to use, like submitting a grade change request. I do wish everything was laid out a bit better, but I think since the system has been used for so long it would probably take a substantial amount of effort to rehaul the system, have a group of users test it out and get the kinks out, then transfer the old data to the new system. Overall Focus works, but it does leave more to be desired. My wishlist would include a classroom log that could maybe import files from other programs like maybe class dojo or emails. A cleaner, straight to the point way of updating a grade. Lastly, I am not sure what the parents see, but is there an app for parents/students? If not, one would definitely help. Many of my students come from homes with either no computer in them or limited functioning internet capable devices. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
I like that there are so many features and functions such as pulling attendance, present and past enrollments, disciplinary referrals, grades, and statewide assessments. As an administrator, I am able to see very involved data about students academic records. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
As an another user stated, the website is not customizable. I am not one for the aesthetic presence, but there are a few things about the layout I would change if possible. The website can be a little finicky when you hover the mouse over what you want and can easily go away if you slightly move the cursor. It seems too clustered.

Me encanta el diseño de la página de inicio. Tengo los cumpleaños de los estudiantes a la derecha y los programas destacados en el medio con mi sección de "buscar un estudiante" a mi izquierda. En la parte superior tengo mis pestañas para cosas como horarios, calificaciones, evaluaciones, asistencia, informes, etc. Los íconos junto a cada estudiante ayudan a identificarlos según sus necesidades individuales, por ejemplo, si son SPED, ESL/LEP, en riesgo, 504, GT, alerta médica, la lista continúa, es tan simple como memorizar el significado de cada ícono. Tienes varias formas de obtener lo que buscas desde diferentes pantallas también. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
No me gusta no poder personalizar mi pantalla. Aunque disfruto ver de quién es el cumpleaños tan pronto como inicio sesión en la pantalla de inicio, tenemos más de 1,200 estudiantes en mi campus de los cuales solo soy responsable de 390. Sería bueno saber cuántos de mis estudiantes de 12º grado tienen cumpleaños esa semana en comparación con toda la escuela. En segundo lugar, no uso todos los programas destacados, así que poder eliminar algunos de los que no necesito y hacer espacio para los programas que uso diariamente, como asistencia, calificaciones e información de estudiantes, sería increíble. Otra cosa que odio es que me cierren la sesión cada vez que estoy inactivo durante más de 3-4 minutos. Aunque hay un botón de "Ayuda" que podemos hacer clic, es prácticamente inútil ya que solo son artículos. Un agente de chat en vivo sería genial. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
Keep all student data in one place. It's also easy to put in grades and take attendance. The notifications when you first sign in is also very helpful. I always forget to take attendance and it's the first thing I see so I always do that when I sign in. I also really like how I can do my lesson plans on Focus.

There are a lot of tabs so it gets confusing. Also, do grade configurations is a little confusing as well. I feel like there are too many options for a lot of simple things. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.

Navigation could be more streamlined. Sometimes it takes lots of clicks to get to student info. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
El sistema era bueno para ingresar calificaciones. Aprendí a amarlo eventualmente. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
El sistema se bloqueó mucho. El servicio al cliente era casi imposible de contactar. No había muchas personas disponibles para ayudar a solucionar problemas. Reseña recopilada por y alojada en G2.com.
