I like that with Skyward Student Management Suite, all of the student information is in one place.

**What do you dislike about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

There's a lot I don't like about Skyward Student Management Suite. It looks very outdated and it's not user-friendly. Everything is very small, making it hard to see. Our district chose to purchase the cheaper level, so we don't have all the functions. Even the absolute minimum ones it does offer aren't very good. Some of the reports are not user-friendly and are hard to figure out.

**What problems is Skyward Student Management Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Skyward Student Management Suite to schedule students and keep all student information in one place, which simplifies managing a large district's data.

Can find grades and communications. It feels like a sound system, but it could be improved. I wish the web and mobile versions were similar.  Grade book access is nice.

  ### 19. Skyward: A Simple, Powerful School Information System

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mark H. | Personalized Learning Facilitator, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 22, 2020

**What do you like best about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

Skyward makes the day-to-day tasks of teaching simple. While systems or methods I've used in the past slowed my workflow as a classroom teacher, Skyward's best attribute is that daily tasks -namely attendance and grade tracking- are simple and seamless, allowing the work of teaching to continue with minimal interruption. I can enter a grade for multiple courses at one time; I can adjust attendance for multiple days from a single screen; I can determine how my grades are calculated, and I can integrate Skyward with our LMS to make grade entry instantaneous, rather than tedious.

**What do you dislike about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

The grade change process for a closed grading period could be simplified. Otherwise, Skyward does more than I would ever need it to do.

**What problems is Skyward Student Management Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Now that I help run my school's virtual program, I have learned more about the student management side of Skyward; I use it multiple times a day to quickly pull a transcript, check a current schedule, or look at a student's discipline history. Being able to carry these tasks out efficiently keeps me moving forward on the variety of tasks I have to complete when enrolling a student in our district, or into courses in one of the LMS's we employ. Furthermore, Skyward integrates with our LMS. It's easier for me to encourage teachers to use the LMS when I let them know that doing so saves them time. They no longer need to hand enter grades with grade pass back.

  ### 20. This was a review?

**Reviewed by:** BENJAMIN G. | Human.

**Reviewed Date:** April 29, 2021

I like how Skyward is organized. I also like how it gives options for how to show grades and other information.

I wish that Skyward would give more information on how it determines grades. Sometimes, it can be unclear if certain things are included in the grading process.

**What problems is Skyward Student Management Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I have answered both of these questions already.

  ### 21. Formidable Management System

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Natalie W. | English Teacher, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 23, 2020

**What do you like best about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

Skyward is great for posting assignments, tracking grades, and storing student information. It's navigable and even students clearly see and track their own grades.

**What do you dislike about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

There are some features of the grading system that are frustratingly obtrusive. For example, an assignment is automatically marked "Missing" if I, as the teacher, do not grade it within two days of the posted due dated.

**What problems is Skyward Student Management Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Skyward is easily integrated with Google Classroom, so students and parents can clearly see when assignments are due, and later, what grades were earned. 

Skyward easily archives information throughout a student's school career, but some aspects require some "digging" to find. It could use a refresh in terms of accessibility.

  ### 22. Reduces the workload of teachers.

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Robinia B. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 27, 2020

**What do you like best about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

Made it easy to teach everyday. The best feature of Skyward is that daile attendance, rating and attendance monitoring is quick and smooth, making it possible to continue teaching work with limited interference, whereas the tools and approaches I used to slow down my workflow as a classroom instructor. I can start a degree in several courses at the same time; I can change attendance from one screen for several days; I can decide how my grades are measured, so that I am not boring and can merge Skyward with our LMS. It can be navigated and students can see clearly and agree on their own performance. Our university uses Skyward to execute many tasks traditionally kept in various areas. A huge amount of information should be examined continuously and efficaciously.

**What do you dislike about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

I had to lead other teachers step by step during the cost-refund cycle. Better if they had the teacher's name identified. Many programs cause frustrating rating annoyance. The method of grade change might be streamlined with a closed grading period. Skyward does more than I ever would need to do otherwise.

**What problems is Skyward Student Management Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It encourages students, supervisors, parents and employers to obtain information to support them in the education process. There are several features in a cozy space. Contacting parents or other workers through Skyward is easy and convenient. In the field of schooling, connectivity is important. Skyward communicates with parents or other workers instantly and conveniently. To make sure students and families see exactly what activities are due and what training they are receiving, Skyward combines seamlessly with Google Classroom. I'm helping run the interactive curriculum of my university. I use this many times a day to get a transcript easily, to review a current timetable or to review the background of a student. I'm effective in doing these activities and I'll have to do a lot of tasks while I engage a pupil in our district or take classes in one of the LMS we deal with.

Using Skyward, our university will perform several functions which were previously in different locations. It is both useful and efficient to analyze a vast volume of information at the same time.

**What do you dislike about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

The discount portal is neither stand-alone nor easy. I had to direct other teachers through the cost reimbursement period, step by step. It would be better if they listed the name of the teacher. Many services cause irritating frustration on the ranking system. For example, if I don't grade the assignment within two days of the submission date, an assignment is automatically marked as "missed." Skyward is a little overburdened and complicated, and it takes longer to find what you are searching for, particularly when printing reports. It may increase ease of use.

**Recommendations to others considering Skyward Student Management Suite:**

Skyward lets people do a lot of things in one place in education. The ease of use and insight may however be enhanced. Although implementation is quick, it takes time, so make sure this package meets all your needs.

**Reviewed Date:** August 10, 2020

**What do you like best about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

The place to go to check the specifics of your students is great. Engagement, preparation problems, staffing, nutritional allocation and more must be addressed. I like how easy issues are from a financial point of view. Balances are easily reviewed, so what happened to the account can be seen instantly. Quick and simple budgeting is also feasible. Skyward is great for messages, ratings and storage for students. It's navigable and often students see their own credentials plainly and agree with them. Related material is quickly and effectively presented concurrently.

**What do you dislike about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

Everything pop-ups I don't like. Moreover, the portal for discounts is neither independent nor easy. I had to direct other professors phase by phase in the cycle of expense reimbursement. At the end of the session, I don't believe the name of the instructor is. It would be safer if the name of the instructor was mentioned. Many programs irritate the ranking framework frustratingly. For instance, if, within two days following the posted date, I do not grade the task, a task is automatically marked "missing."

**Recommendations to others considering Skyward Student Management Suite:**

Skyward supports teachers and students in achieving a ton in one location. However, it can be changed to allow the usage simpler and easier. Although implementing is simple, it takes time, so ensure that this package is consistent with all of your needs.

**What problems is Skyward Student Management Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Instead of at the time of the report card, he had frequently records of incomplete tasks, gaps, etc. The switch from one base program to another has been much simpler.

**What do you dislike about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

I don't think it's not at the end of the class the teacher's name is. I work at two separate places, and finding the class I 'm looking for is often challenging. If the name of the professor was on the list, it would be better. Many apps are frustratingly irritating for the rating system. For example, if I do not degree as a teacher in two days after the published due date, a homework is automatically marked as "missing."

**Recommendations to others considering Skyward Student Management Suite:**

Skyward helps teachers and students to do a great deal in one location. It can however be improved to facilitate and make the use more intuitive.

**Reviewed Date:** July 22, 2020

There's a perfect place to go and test the details of your students. You should look at engagement, training matters, timetable, budget for food and more.

Budget processes are also fast and simple.

**What do you dislike about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

All the pop-up screens I don't like. In addition, the portal for cost refunds is not autonomous nor is it so plain. I had to lead other teachers in the process of reimbursing costs step by step.

**What problems is Skyward Student Management Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 14, 2020

**What do you like best about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

Skyward student management is a great tool to use for a one stop look for all information. Basically everything about individual students as well as class rosters. Great tool to use.

**What do you dislike about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

The one draw back for this tool is that it needs to be maintained as changes occur. So if information changes it needs to be immediately updated.  There are times when schedules are not updated in a timely manner. These updates are done on the organizational level.

**What problems is Skyward Student Management Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

No real problems from the site itself, just the updating of information. I have never used this until this year and this tool provides an arsenal of information.

  ### 29. Skyward Student Management Suite

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Rudy O. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 12, 2020

**What do you like best about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

Simple and intuitive apps make learning and enhancing the daily activities simpler for the user. This has the flexibility to adapt to the various ways schools work, and the ability to customize a solution to suit our needs reflects the fact that they have one of the largest consumer base for any SIS product. It is an integrated student management system, report card and family platform that enables our families to access education easily and enables us to answer questions and comments better.

**What do you dislike about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

We find that the changes that we need or want to see are either ignored or delayed because, while the majority of its consumers use it, Skyward does not invest as much in product growth for its "oldest product." Our third-party systems must be used to analyze and predict the CCMR rankings, even when all data items in Skyward (test scores, state reports data items, course history, etc.) are already able to or reside in to calculate this criterion.

**Recommendations to others considering Skyward Student Management Suite:**

Let Skyward demonstrate your specific needs. Test them and provide scenarios for specific needs. Implementing and using it is very straightforward.

**What problems is Skyward Student Management Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As an elementary classroom teacher, I don't solve big problems, I just handle the details I need in good time. It is easy to use by Skyward. Has facilitated communication with parents: The use of events in standard grade books (K-6) shows the weekly progress needed for the parents, while making them standard in Family Access.

  ### 30. Innovative platform.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Dulcea H. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 05, 2020

**What do you like best about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

I like that, it's convenient for many students and classes to place grades concurrently. There is a simple scoring feature that allows you to position grades quickly and quick and see every job you ever graded. I like this feature because, without going into each task and fixing it manually, I can grade late jobs and put them in. It is convenient and effective to display several different details at the same time.

**What do you dislike about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

Skyward is somewhat daunting and frustrating, and finding what you are looking for takes longer, particularly when printing reports. Facility of use can be enhanced. It's almost a whole year we used and it's not as straightforward or intuitive as it might be.

**Recommendations to others considering Skyward Student Management Suite:**

Skyward allows educated people to do a lot in one place. Simple use and insight can be improved, however. Nonetheless, as it provides significant advantages, I recommend its introduction.

**What problems is Skyward Student Management Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It makes me conscious of absences and coordinated. The Quick Score feature makes it easier to keep track of grades during the school year. It is also easy to test the health and behavior of a student by accessing the profile page of the student. Skyward helps instructors, supervisors, parents and workers to discover knowledge that can contribute to the educational process. Most characteristics are in a realistic spot. In the field of education, contact is important.

  ### 31. Innovative platform ..!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Robert C. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 18, 2020

**What do you like best about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

In one space / product Skyward should have many features. Many features that were previously host in several locations can be performed via Skyward. It is convenient and effective to display several different details at the same time.

**What do you dislike about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

I don't like the name of the teacher isn't at the end of the class. I work in two different institutions, so sometimes finding the class I 'm looking for is difficult. It would be simpler if the name of the instructor were on the list.

**Recommendations to others considering Skyward Student Management Suite:**

Skyward enables students to do a lot in one place in education. However, it could be improved to make use easier and intuitive.

**What problems is Skyward Student Management Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Skyward allows teachers to find information to support the learning process by administrators, parents and staff. There are many features in a comfortable area. It is easy and straightforward to contact parents or other workers via Skyward. In the world of education, communication is vital. Let's rate EVERYONE, then go back and change the few people you want to download.

  ### 32. SIS that makes my work not only efficient, but enjoyable and easy! 

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Georgia O. | Curriculum Teacher on Special Assignment/Skyward, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 09, 2019

**What do you like best about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

Intuitive screens throughout the product lead novice and veteran users with ease. The drop down features under each tab are clearly marked, easily understandable by title, and navigation is a breeze! Truly, the very best feature of this product is the team of professionals that stand behind it to guide, counsel, and teach. We have NEVER been without stellar customer support. These people are our people! 

**What do you dislike about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

Surprises after updates that I am not ready for! :)                                                                                   Right now, another piece is trying to merge a secondary gradebook with Standards. It feels impossible to do pure Standards (Proficiency) grading 4,3,2,1 without having the needed ties to % for Grad reqs, GPA, etc. 

**Recommendations to others considering Skyward Student Management Suite:**

Use the customer support/service team! They are without question, the very best part of working with Skyward! 

**What problems is Skyward Student Management Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Parent Communication: Using Events in the Standards Gradebooks (K-6) shows required weekly progress to parents, while getting them into Family Access as a standard practice. Parents not only see their student progress, they use Family Access to communicate effectively with parents and students! 

  ### 33. Skyward Use

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mona R. | Owner, Legal Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 09, 2020

**What do you like best about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

It is easy to find what you need within the software.

**What do you dislike about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

Sometimes it is glitchy if you don't use a specific browser, and the mobile counterpart isn't great.

**What problems is Skyward Student Management Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Skyward is a good answer to manage classroom attendance, grades and discipline referrals.

  ### 34. Skyward Student Management (SMS 2.0)

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Mary M. | Information Systems Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 06, 2019

**What do you like best about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

Our experience with Skyward Student has been very positive.  We did extensive research before selecting our SIS after years of switching between other systems and feel we have selected a vendor partner for a long-term relationship with our district.  

I do feel that the staff at Skyward, and in particular product managers like Leah Kruger, truly do listen to the needs of their clients and it shows.  Skyward has the flexibility to accommodate the many different ways that school districts operate and the fact that they have one of the largest customer bases of any SIS product is reflected in the ability we have to customize the solution to meet our needs. 

Skyward, as an integrated student management system, gradebook, and family portal, provides our families with easy access to their student's education and allows us to be more responsive to their questions and feedback.  Skyward helps put information into the hands of everyone who needs it, and especially parents and students. 

**What do you dislike about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

We are on the SMS 2.0 platform currently and the Qmlativ platform started to roll out the same year we implemented Skyward Student.  

While SMS 2.0 is more full-featured and mature than Qmlativ and was and is the right choice for us, we are finding that the enhancements we need or want are now being side-lined or put on hold because Skyward is not investing as heavily in product development for their "older" product even though it is the one used by the vast majority of their clients.  

This is disappointing and frustrating for us as newer clients for Skyward Student and results in an uphill battle when we find a product feature that is lacking.  We have been told several times that a feature request we need would be considered only for Qmlativ and not for SMS 2.0.  I don't consider that acceptable but unless it is a state reporting need we are not always getting major changes that we need.

We are a Texas client as well, and Skyward has done nothing to prepare for the recent changes in our state accountability system around college, career, and military readiness.  We have to use third-party systems to analyze and predict our CCMR ratings even though every data element to calculate this criteria can or does reside in Skyward already (test scores, data elements for state reporting, course history, etc.)  This is disappointing as well.

**Recommendations to others considering Skyward Student Management Suite:**

You will most likely not be offered the option to evaluate or purchase SMS 2.0 and references from SMS 2.0 clients are not necessarily reflective of the customer experience on Qmlativ, the newer product.

**What problems is Skyward Student Management Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Skyward Student has allowed us to streamline many of our student systems.  Prior to the implementation, we had separate systems for student management, food service, RTI, graduation plans & course requests, health services, etc.  Skyward has allowed us to integrate all these features and helps us to know more about our students without needing to switch between multiple systems or paper files to do so. 

A major selling feature for us was the student profile screen in Skyward.  It puts every piece of information we have in Skyward Student in one place where it is easily accessible to those who need it.

Another bonus for us is the online enrollment and returning student registration modules.  Before Skyward, our enrollment and student registration processes were paper-based so it was difficult to get accurate data on anticipated enrollment during the spring and summer when registrars were off-duty, but the hiring process was in full swing. With Skyward’s online enrollment and registration solutions, that has completely changed. We can forecast our enrollment counts and parents can also easily update their students' information each year.

**Official Response from Jeff Walker:**

> Thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback Mary. Supporting the existing SMS 2.0 product while continuing our development on the Qmlativ product is a constant exercise of give and take. We're so glad to hear that you feel your needs are being heard by our product managers. 

  ### 35. The best student management system I have ever worked with.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Dave V. | Director of Technology, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 06, 2019

**What do you like best about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

It is a complete system. It contains almost everything we need to manage our schools, eliminating the need for other software packages. In addition, the support is wonderful. Very fast response time.

**What do you dislike about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

The documentation is not always easy to find in Skydocs. I understand it is much better in the newest version Qmlativ.

**Recommendations to others considering Skyward Student Management Suite:**

Take a serious look at all it can do. There is also a business suite that integrates HR and Business Operations. The newest version, QMLATIV is very user friendly.

**What problems is Skyward Student Management Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have been able to easily roster our educational programs directly from Skyward so they are always up to date. It integrates easily with almost all of our other software packages. It is becoming our source of truth for users in our entire domain.

**Official Response from Jeff Walker:**

> Thanks so much for your positive feedback Dave. You're spot on with your assessment of our documentation in our SMS 2.0 product and that was a major focus in Qmlativ. So great to hear Skyward is working well for your integration initiatives. 

  ### 36. Best purchase ever

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ebony A. | Business Teacher, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 05, 2019

**What do you like best about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

The best thing is being to email grade reports to parents all at once. Definitely a time saver. 

**What do you dislike about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

The downside on the teacher side is being able to comply addresses easily. I have yet to figure out how to get all address at once and be able to create address labels

**Recommendations to others considering Skyward Student Management Suite:**

Being user friendly is one of the top things to consider

**What problems is Skyward Student Management Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am saving time. Instead emailing parents one by one, I can email them all at once. Also student grade sheets are well formatted. Students can see missing assignments clearly

  ### 37. Skyward - wish it was more user friendly

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Nicole C. | SPED Teacher, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 24, 2019

**What do you like best about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

I like that it keeps all of the student information in one place. I like how you can easily mark a kid absent or mark a missing assignment. I also like that I can e-mail all of the parents at once!

**What do you dislike about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

I do not like how it is complicated to print off a roster sheet for each class. It is also complicated to print the progress report cards. 

**What problems is Skyward Student Management Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As a school it is nice to have all of the student information in one spot. If they have any money due that is also housed in Skyward. 

  ### 38. Positive tool for managing student information

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 20, 2019

**What do you like best about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

Skyward is more intuitive than other attendance and student management software I have previously used.  Student information is easy to export into an excel file and then manipulate outside the software for basic things like student rosters that include birthdays.  Using the data within skyward is also easy to do.  Inputting grades, while having a learning curve, is also head and shoulders above the other two data management softwares I have experience with.  

**What do you dislike about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

There's little to dislike at this point.  I suppose it could be easier to generate a list of student birthdays without going into the grade book.  This is not do able from the general student roster.  And printing some reports as is, leaves a small font with little space between the words.  I solved this by exporting data I wanted to manipulate or increase font size for.  

**What problems is Skyward Student Management Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As a classroom teacher in an elementary setting, I'm not solving huge problems, just managing information that I need access to in a timely fashion.  Skyward does so in an easy to use manner.  

  ### 39. Skyward Student Management Suite is a Great Product!!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Thelma W. | Systems Database Manager, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 20, 2018

**What do you like best about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

We chose to convert to Skyward four years ago and our expectations have been exceeded!  The easy and intuitive features have made it easy for user to learn and improve on their daily tasks.   

**What do you dislike about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

There is nothing that we as a School District dislike about Skyward!!!

**Recommendations to others considering Skyward Student Management Suite:**

Let Skyward show you specific needs in action.  Put them to the test and give them specific scenarios of needs. 

**What problems is Skyward Student Management Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We have improved our communication with staff and parents of our students tremendously. 
Rostering Digital Resources more timely with API capabilities and scheduled tasks allows those resources readily available for teachers. 

**Official Response from Jeff Walker:**

> Thank you so much Thelma. It's always great to hear from customers who say we are exceeding their expectations. Have a terrific 2019-2020 school year!

  ### 40. Easy to Use Daily

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 02, 2019

**What do you like best about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

I like that it is easy to put grades in for multiple students and classes as a time. There is a quick score feature where you can place grades in a quick and easy way and see every assignment that you have ever graded. I like this feature because I can grade late assignments and put them in without having to go into each assignment and fixing it manually. 

**What do you dislike about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

Class titles/names can be confusing. It is listed in my Skyward program as Science class 1, 2, 3, etc. This is fine until the class names have to be changed or the schedule changes because the old class name is present while I should be using only the new class names. 

**What problems is Skyward Student Management Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It keeps me organized and aware of absences. It is easier to keep up with grades throughout the entire school year with the quick score feature. It is also easy to check on a student's health status and behaviors by going to the student profile page. 

  ### 41. Skyward from a teacher

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 24, 2019

**What do you like best about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

It is convenient that Skyward has many features all in one space/one product.  Our school can perform many functions using Skyward that previously were housed in multiple places.  Seeing a lot of various bits of information all at the same time is helpful and efficient.

**What do you dislike about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

Previous to Skyward, our school used a software called Infinite Campus.  Switching to Skyward felt like a step down both in look and certain functions.  Skyward is a bit congested and confusing and takes longer to find what you're looking for, especially when printing reports.  The ease of use could be improved.  We have used it almost an entire school year and it just isn't as simple or intuitive as it could be.

**Recommendations to others considering Skyward Student Management Suite:**

Skyward allows people in education to do many things all in one place.  The ease of use and intuitiveness could be improved however.

**What problems is Skyward Student Management Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Skyward allows teachers, administrators, parents and staff to all find information that helps the educational process.  Many features are housed in one convenient space.  Contacting parents or other staff via Skyward is convenient and straightforward.  Communication is vital in the education world.

  ### 42. Chief Technology Officer

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 07, 2019

**What do you like best about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

Skyward system works, is flexible, and easy to use. Skyward is able to manage simple and complex processes for our district. Top notch service also if and when there is an issue.

**What do you dislike about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

The look and feel of SMS is old....but I prefer functionality over looks. Qmlativ is the new version and that looks great, however we have not transitioned yet.

**Recommendations to others considering Skyward Student Management Suite:**

I would recommend it  District using Skyward are all very happy!

**What problems is Skyward Student Management Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use Skyward to improve operations in our district. Skyward helps with managing all processes for courses, schedules, teachers, students, HR, finance, etc.

  ### 43. Using Skyward

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jacqueline M. | JacMuz, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** January 28, 2019

**What do you like best about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

I love how Skyward is secure and accessible at any time. It presents all of  my information on hand, right away. Skyward shows student grades and also allows teachers to post information to calendars or on the board. Students can also view past test scores for state or SRI testing. 

**What do you dislike about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

I do not like that you need good connection to access or refresh the app-but that goes with most applications.

**Recommendations to others considering Skyward Student Management Suite:**

Encourage students to download the application on their cellular devices to encourage daily use. This way it is even easier to access and check up o their grades. Also, allow students to make their own passwords and not have them connect to the school's email so that if they forget the password they can reset it on their own.

**What problems is Skyward Student Management Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The benefits are easy access to grades s that families and students can easily keep track of grades and are encouraged to do better and just having the general knowledge of what id going on in the grade book.

  ### 44. Basic but helpful

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 24, 2019

**What do you like best about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

It is great to have one place to go and check on your childs information. You can see attendance, discipline issues, schedule, food budget and more. 

**What do you dislike about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

I wish it had a link to each teachers email address. It says who the teacher is, but you have to dig though the schools website to find any contact information. It would also be nice to have the counselor contact information listed. 

**What problems is Skyward Student Management Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I had a daily log of missing assignments, tardies and such so we can address any issues daily instead of at report card time.

  ### 45. Use it everyday

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Writing and Editing | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 24, 2019

  ### 46. Skyward review

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 28, 2019

**What do you like best about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

I teach music so I see EVERYONE in the school. I like that the kids pictures are able to be downloaded from the school pictures, and a seating chart can be printed with color pictures. 

**What do you dislike about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

Again, seeing everyone as the music teacher, I also have EVERY teacher in my grade book. I don’t like that the teacher’s name is not on the class when it is pulled up. I have 2 schools I teach at, so it is a challenge sometimes to find the class that I am looking for. If the teacher’s name was listed that would be easier. 

**Recommendations to others considering Skyward Student Management Suite:**

NA

**What problems is Skyward Student Management Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It allows me to give a participation grade to EVERYONE, then go back and change the few  individuals who need to be lowered.

  ### 49. Skyward-might be for you, depending on what you are looking for

**Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 27, 2019

**What do you like best about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

Skyward Student Management Suite is awesome for taking attendance, putting in grades, sending emails home to parents and students and for putting in IEP information for students.

**What do you dislike about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

I dislike that when working on an IEP, it forces you to open the different pages in different tabs and it does not allow you to work on two tabs at once.

**What problems is Skyward Student Management Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Skyward gives an easy way to send emails to all of the students/parents in a class, it allows you to check student grades and for parents to check their grades as well. It is also easy to communicate the disabilities of my students with their general education teachers

  ### 50. Skyward Student Management

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tim H. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 14, 2018

**What do you like best about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

Skyward is a very powerful tool that helps our districts perform with ease and efficiency. I love the fact that they are always on top of state-mandated changes (not an easy thing to do). The support staff are outstanding and amazing! And as a user I really like the look and feel of Skyward, but even more I love being able to customize the application to meet the needs of our districts.

**What do you dislike about Skyward Student Management Suite?**

Um... Maybe that not all the Help documentation has been updated yet? There are still a few documents that show images of the old PaC software.

**Recommendations to others considering Skyward Student Management Suite:**

If buying a superior product is not enough incentive, the outstanding support should be enough to convince you. Skyward is an awesome product, and when I have questions the support staff are quick to help and always a pleasure to work with.

**What problems is Skyward Student Management Suite solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The biggest benefit is being able to run multiple school districts efficiently, getting the maximum funding because we are able to accurately report to the state and federal government agencies.
