Skyward Student Management Suite Pros and Cons

I can run reports for so many categories! If I need a roster of military connected students, I can simply run a report and get a full roster of all our military children. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not super user friendly. It definitely requires training to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My campus using Skyward for the majority of the paperwork and organization for students. For example, we use it to store all personal information and paperwork so it is easily accessible by all necessary parties from the teacher, staff, and administration side. In addition, our counselors use it to create student schedules and track credits earned. Teachers use it as a grade book to efficiently communicate assignments and grades with students and parents. Since everything is in one location, it is easy to use because of the integration of all of the different features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Allows for a wide array of reports around any needs that are associated with the student, school, IEP's, etc. This is valuable for quick access to necessary data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
