QuickSchools Reviews & Product Details - Page 4

My favorite part about quickschools is the excellent customer service. Quickschools always has chat open, they respond immediately, and every one of them is very knowledgeable. This saves me time as a teacher. With most chats I frequently use, I usually test the waters with a few questions to see if the person I got is knowledgable, and leave the chat in order to get someone else if they know less than me. I never have to do that with quick schools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't really dislike anything that quick schools offers. I guess in a perfect world it would offer the option of becoming the teacher planbook, homework submission/grading platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that I can do robocall, text and email all in one location. I also enjoy being able to have my gradebook available at my fingertips. One feature that really helped is the visual of the attendance chart. Many parents don’t pay attention to lateness but when they have a pie chart they see how often their child is late.

I HATE that every time I have to call I need to do the captcha. It is very annoying. Some of my staff are visually impaired and they need to get assistance while using it. If I am already logged into the system I should be allowed to make the calls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that QuickSchools is a very simple and intuitive site that is fairly easy to use. It incorporates many modules (students, admissions, attendance, grade books, report cards, transcripts, etc.). The online chat folks are very quick to respond and for the most part, they can resolve any issues and answer questions fairly quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find that the system isn't as easy to personalize as we need. For example, in one class we have several grade levels. Each grade level has their own report card template. The report cards are mapped to classes. The only way to correctly map the class to several different templates, we need to separate the grade book into several different grade books. That stinks for the teacher, as they have to flip between 2 or 3 grade books to enter grades for one class. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that no matter what the problem, a Quick Schools tech is always available to assist. On top of that, they are always patient and encouraging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have a unique situation as a University-Model school. Our K-5 students attend T/Th and our secondary students attend T/Th/F. Because of this, we could only use the scheduler for our secondary students. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

QuicksSchools was a program that was at the school when I started and none of the (present) staff really knew how to use the program. When I started 2 years ago, I began in the middle of the school year so it was "catch up" for me. It is very user friendly and the customer service is exceptional.

It is not always obvious where information is located in the program. Would like it if when a student graduates, it is easier to find that student. Usually need to send transcripts, etc and they don't automatically pop up. Is there a way to make a screen with all the graduates and year of graduation that would last approx. six months. Also, do not like that graduation date/date left school are not separated. Colleges want the actual graduation date, but it shows as left school. We have had to manually enter in order for it to show graduation date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to navigate, great GUI, cloud base, the way new fields can be added, it has modules for students and also for parents and great support!!! We used other SIS in the past and QS stands at the best by far, it covers everything we need and new improvements are constantly added, soon it will have an app for teachers and parents.

Does not have an administration/finance module, it should be great to have only one system in the school. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

QS schedules students randomly (as we requested) by grade in required classes with class size limits, allows students to select four elective classes from lists of 16 different options, generates rosters for teachers, and creates personalized daily schedules for students. I used to do all of this work in Excel; QS has saved me hours of work and stress, while producing excellent results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Any time we dislike something about QS we share the feedback, and they make the changes. We have been with QS for 3.5 years, and they have innovated continually to meet our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We are a small start-up college in Southeast Asia and we have been using the QuickSchools Apollo Plan (mid-level plan), for 4 years. We use two languages and that alone narrowed down our search for school software. Our students have limited English, as do some of our teachers, but QuickSchools is very intuitive and has a smooth user interface so it has been easy for them to use. Having a cloud-based program means students, teachers, administrator, and parents can access the program from anywhere at any time, from any device, and we don’t need to keep up with program updates or backing up data.

Attendance is a breeze—it just takes a few seconds for teachers to take Attendance. It can be taken on any device, including a smartphone. Setting up new students is simple and the students love how they can see their grades, chat with peers and teachers in the Class Discussions module, and see billing and payment information—they can see this from any device! The Gradebook module is excellent and it has saved our teachers many hours compared to how we used to calculate grades. The Fee Tracking module is easy to set up and use. We have full-time and part-time students, some live in dorms and some live at home. We can complete billing for the semester within 30 minutes. There is a Parent Messaging module that has email, text and voice messaging, but we do not use it. The Transcript module meets all our needs and wants, as it is highly customizable. Since we are a new school, we did not have the budget for a school software product that has high frontend costs. QuickSchools has a low monthly fee based on the number of active students, which makes budgeting easy and predictable. There are many 3rd part apps that are available inside of QuickSchools, so customizing the program to meet your specific needs is very possible.

What we like best about QuickSchools is the customer support. I am usually in the US and I strongly preferred having US-based support. There is a chat tab at the bottom of the window and every time we’ve clicked on it, no matter the hour, we always had a friendly competent support person ready to help within a few seconds. Yes, seconds. We used them often during the first few months of using the program and only occasionally after that. When a teacher contacts me with a problem or question about QuickSchools that I cannot answer, it’s such a relief knowing that I will have an answer for them within minutes because I can depend on the support team.

Teacher Attendance (not student attendance) is not part of the program, but there is a 3rd part app available for it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

System does not grade pre-entered tests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a teacher, I've always liked QuickSchools' intuitive user-friendly interface. I like that I can seamlessly switch between the modules for daily tasks such as assigning homework, grading, messaging parents, managing discipline issues, among others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find having to enter assignments twice, once under the homework module, then under the gradebook module, a bit tedious. I wish assignments entered into the homework module could automatically be reflected in the gradebook, and vice versa. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
