Response from Azreen Latiff of QuickSchools

Thank you for your review. I'm glad you found QuickSchools easy to use. We will build on that and improve our product and service further.

Some comments:

1. The new Assignments feature has been able to really help many of our customers to get on a simple, easy-to-use LMS system especially in these harrowing times where schools have to go remote overnight due to Covid-19. The Assignments bring together the best of QuickSchools features between Gradebook, Homework and the Parent and Student portals. We aim to complete the annotation feature in the near term whereby teachers can assess written submission directly on screen and save that. The grading element is built it like I mentioned earlier so this will push the grade given straight into the gradebook, saving so much time for teachers.

2. Please check Home by QuickSchools and in the near future, "Class by QuickSchools" on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. We really should do a better job at marketing our mobile apps. :-D

Thank you again for your review and we look forward to making QuickSchools even better in the weeks and months to come.

What do you like best about QuickSchools?

The upside of Quick Schools is the personal attention given to our small school (120 students), and their willingness to help us customize the management system to fit our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QuickSchools?

I wish that the attendance could be reported as actual absences and tardies on the report card. Because we are using the period-based attendance, the absences and tardies on the report card show numbers based on periods. Thankfully, we have been able to have Quick Schools correct this issue for the transcript which is what is the most important. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jemaimah Mustapha of QuickSchools

Thank you, Linda, for taking the time to write about your experience with QuickSchools! We truly appreciate it. We're glad we've been able to help and correct the issues you faced.

4.5/5
What do you like best about QuickSchools?

Quick Schools has the benefit of individual attention and their ability to help us tailor the management system to suit our needs. I like the fact that the SIS interface is customisable and we were even able to build and incorporate our own applications into the framework. The cost of the models being customised is appropriate. Overall, the output / cost ratio is outstanding. Customer service responds with questions immediately or quite soon after we email, and they are very good at solving problems or fixing slight errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QuickSchools?

I wish that attendance on the report card could be reported as real absences and tardives. Since we're using period-based attendance, the report card's absences and tardies display period-based statistics. Fortunately we were able to get Swift Schools to fix this transcript issue, which is the most important one. Some of the functionalities we might use are absent, or there are the functionalities that are somewhat restricted for our specific usage. However, I find that most SIS providers have this problem, and even though they provide all of the features (at huge prices), they still don't completely satisfy our needs, so Quickschools isn't a big issue.

Response from Jemaimah Mustapha of QuickSchools

Thank you, Richard, for taking the time to share your experience with QuickSchools!

I will let our team know about your feedback on the attendance in the report cards. Thank you for the suggestion! We truly appreciate it.

"Love QuickSchools - 12-year user."
5/5
What do you like best about QuickSchools?

1. Online, so no tech staff or onsite hardware required.

2. Within the chosen plan, all updates are free.

3. Highly intuitive for teachers - very little training required.

4. Word-class support via chat. In 12 years I've waited only once longer than a minute for a reply; techs are very knowledgeable; great follow-up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QuickSchools?

Every improvement I've had with QS that I have submitted to tech support has been implemented eventually. They are very responsive to customer requests. The biggest problem I have is that report cards have to be massaged every quarter to render properly. Like all systems QS has occasional glitches, but this problem almost always turns out to be data entry errors on our end. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jemaimah Mustapha of QuickSchools

Dear Scott, Thank you for taking the time to post a wonderful review about QuickSchools! We truly appreciate the 5-star review and your trust and support with us for all these years! We hope we can continue to improve and we look forward to a flourishing partnership between our organizations in the years ahead.

"Intuitive, Functional, Excellent Customer Service"
4.5/5
What do you like best about QuickSchools?

The chat feature! I use it often. :) Getting immediate answers to my questions and not having to submit tickets that may take hours or days to get answers to is a great time-saver. They are extremely friendly, very responsive and resourceful. If something is not available, they always follow up with an email on their findings. They are willing to consider functions not currently available that I would sometimes find helpful by forwarding to their developers. They are always looking to improve. I also like the intuitive aspect of how the admin is set up. It's very functional and has a great lay out. It's a plus that each feature comes with a video tutorial easily accessible on each page to help walk you through how to use it. In comparison with other SMS- QS is aesthetically appealing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QuickSchools?

Not able to administer virtual assignments or exams. Some integration with Google Classroom would be helpful. Some pages do not speak to each other, for instance, for some reason sometimes grades don't carry over to the transcripts and you have to manually update items. I'd like to be able to customize the attendance feature more by including an automated RFID entry option, however, this type of customization comes with a large cost. The discussion board does not timestamp. Class Discussion board can use some updating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jemaimah Mustapha of QuickSchools

Hi Suzie! Thank you for taking the time to write such a kind review. Our team greatly appreciates it.

In case you didn't know, we have now included the Google Classroom integration into our system. Please get in touch with our support team if you need any guidance setting it up!

I will also tell the team regarding your suggestions on the payment plans and reminders. Thank you again for your feedback!

"Great support from QuickSchools!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about QuickSchools?

QuickSchools makes organizing grade books and assessments easy for our school. It is great that it computes averages and allows you to managing marking periods with relative ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QuickSchools?

With the COVID 19 turn to virtual schooling, there was not a successful way for students to hand in assignments using QuickSchools. Having many platforms to have to use: one for grades/homework another systems for students' emails and video chats and then another system for handing in work made it very confusing for parents and teachers alike. It would be great if QuickSchools could develop a way for homework to be turned in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about QuickSchools?

QuickSchools makes it convenient for our school to coordinate gradebooks and tests. It is nice to have averages measured and grading times are fairly simple to handle. It's a big time saver to get instant responses and to not have tickets to get responses that require hours or days. They are really polite, sensitive and insightful. They should also send an email with their results if anything is not there. They are prepared to accept things that are not accessible at present and that can also help me give them to their developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QuickSchools?

The move from COVID-19 to virtual education rendered it difficult for students to use QuickSchools to effectively complete their work. It became quite difficult for teachers to have many tools to use: one for grades / house assignments, a new student email program and video chat and also a separate job submission method. It would be awesome if QuickSchools built a way to adjust assignments. Exams and simulated tasks can not be performed. Any Google Classroom incorporation will be beneficial. For starters, for whatever reason, some pages do not interact with each other, often grades are not transcribed and items must be changed manually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jemaimah Mustapha of QuickSchools

Hi Jay! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with QuickSchools!

We hope our new updates this past year, especially with the Google Classroom integration have helped! If you have not been able to set this up, please contact our support team and we will be happy to assist you!

We truly appreciate all your feedback and thank you again!

"Stellar tech support and highly intuitive interface"
5/5
What do you like best about QuickSchools?

QuickSchools' tech support is prompt, professional, and personalized. Questions my staff have had are addressed immediately and fully. The grade book interface is intuitive, so there have been very few tech questions, but I know they will be addressed promptly. As a school administrator, I find it easy to navigate and to access school data. Generating tailored reports for the school districts we serve (we are a Supplemental Education Organization) is largely effortless using QuickSchools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QuickSchools?

In all honesty, I have contemplated this question at length, but I have not found anything to dislike about QuickSchools grade book platform; as an administrator, I have used others, so I am able to compare among several experiences in the past. I am very pleased with QuickSchools and plan to use the program going forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Jemaimah Mustapha of QuickSchools

Hi Laura! Thank you for your feedback. We certainly appreciate it. We strive to make our product very intuitive for our users and I'm glad we've been able to help. Thank you again for your support and the time to write this review!
