PowerSchool Enrollment Reviews & Product Details

From the days of InfoSnap, this is a great solution for enrolling students and collecting emergency contact info. Their team is great at creating forms and making them customized to the district. They also use School Locator which allows districts the ability to ensure the address is in the district.

We have had good success so far using this system to enroll students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that you don't have much control over your forms. We have to open a support ticket for every modification. I wish that they had better training on using the product as well. I also wish that more data could be transferred over into SIS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a teacher I can conveniently look up their information such as addresses, birthdays, and contact information. I use it before the students come to school to send out letters. I also use it to find out birthdays so that I can put up my birthday board. I make a binder with all of my student information and put into a binder, and it is so easy to use.

I have used PowerSchool for so many years, I really don't thing there is anything that I don't like about it. I have never had any problems with the program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vast improvement over pdf or paper forms; excellent data validation if you know regex and have time to customize. Assuming you are only using the default forms and fields/questions, delivering finished applications to PowerSchool SIS is very easy. Very granular control on security settings also allows several users/groups to collaborate on forms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Support for implementation was spotty at best; took several hundred hours of work to properly setup; doesn't fully integrate with PowerSchool SIS customizations (anything made outside the built-in student extension table is ignored and must be manually imported if used). Also, there is only one notes box for administrators to make comments on application, which could be very limiting depending on your workflow. Lastly, the user interface could be made slightly easier to navigate (for new users, it was difficult to find all the tools/features they needed at first glance).

As I had mentioned earlier it is the most comprehensive solution for managing school enrollment and it also saved a lot of time as well. As there are a lot of Plugins available which directly speaks with the data sitting in PowerSchool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing as of now as I am working on PowerSchool since the Year 2013. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked that everything was all in one place and that I didn't have to do as much manual entry of hand filled out enrollment forms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was a little difficult for some of my less tech-savvy colleagues to catch onto, so I wish there were more resources available for them so that I wouldn't have had to spend so much time helping colleagues learn the program Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The program allows for easy enrollment of students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Powerschool enrollment has a chunky interface and needs to be updated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The sensible and useful tools to manage large groups of students. Also, I use it a great deal for exporting info on to excel, sheets, and tableau. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited connection to other apps such as mail. Would like to be able to hit a button to email all of a student's teachers, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is very easy to take attendance and enter grades. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not like the seating chart functionality. It is very difficult to use and not user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are able to capture updated information annually, which helps our district have more accurate/current information from families. Each family enters/updates their own data, which saves on typos. Registrars used to have to look through piles of papers to find minor changes, then rekey everything into PowerSchool manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is setup required each year for both new and returning student forms. The process takes some time, but it's worth it! The support team works closely with your district/SU during implementation each year. I would recommend you have a team of people in your district/SU to work through the changes each year. Gather feedback from office staff, administrators, and families to help improve your form(s) each year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
