Frustration and major waster of time. **Rating:** 0.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 18, 2023 **What do you like best about Synergy Education Platform?** Taking attendence is easy, and it can be done quickly. **What do you dislike about Synergy Education Platform?** Anything related to grading is difficult, unreliable, and a constant source of stress and frustration. I've been using the program for 5.5 years now, and there is always something that isn't working correctly. They will do a system update (sometimes poorly timed) and some problems seem to improve, and others appear. I have no say about which program our school uses, but if I did, I would drop it in a heartbeat! **What problems is Synergy Education Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** High school classroom grading and attendence. ### 2. Secondary Teacher and Synergy Education Platform **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Sarah M. | Math Teacher, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 07, 2023 **What do you like best about Synergy Education Platform?** The Synergy Education Platform is a great way to complete the necessary recordkeeping for my classes. I track attendance, grades, parent and student contact, and communication with other teachers regarding shared students. **What do you dislike about Synergy Education Platform?** We have a Google Classroom/Synergy integration at my school. Meaning, once I've created an assignment in google classroom, it automatically syncs into Synergy. My only dislike is that if I change a grade in synergy but not google classroom, it will switch back to the grade in google classroom once it resyncs. **What problems is Synergy Education Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** The Synergy Education Platform serves as a communication and recordkeeping tool. I am easily able to look at a student's prior grades and course lists, as well as communicate with parents, students, and faculty. ### 3. It is a very bad product, the worse I ever used in 20 years of teaching, an excel file is better. **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Education Management | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 06, 2023 **What do you like best about Synergy Education Platform?** Nothing. it is very bad. nothing is good. too slow too inconvenient too many mistakes too ugly too much time wasted the worse product I have ever used in 20 years of teaching **What do you dislike about Synergy Education Platform?** full of errors, unstable user hostile only show 4 lines of grades too many functions that are totally useless but takes too much space on the screen many many more **What problems is Synergy Education Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** it is not benefiting anyone, it is the worst product ever. ### 4. Synergy SIS for school district use **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Lori R. | Teacher / SPED Designee, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 09, 2022 **What do you like best about Synergy Education Platform?** I like that Synergy performs multiple functions, without the need for multiple additional platforms, such as attendance and a parental notification system. **What do you dislike about Synergy Education Platform?** I dislike the complexity of the functions and dashboard. It is in no way intuitive, like Poweschools. I am new to using it, and still trying to figure things out. **What problems is Synergy Education Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** It tracks all student info, inclining demographics, enrollment, contact info, SBMS, attendance, and has parental messaging features. ### 5. Some frustrating user experience... **Rating:** 2.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Michelle S. | MTSS Specialist, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 24, 2022 **What do you like best about Synergy Education Platform?** I like using Synergy for Standards-based grading on a 4 point scale. I like how different grading categories can be weighed differently. I also appreciate being able to record behavioral information in the moment that can be visible to other teachers for that day. **What do you dislike about Synergy Education Platform?** I find the interface to be cumbersome in general. For example, to record an assignment by a Standard, I can't apply a score for all students with ease; I need to type in a score for each student. It's very time-consuming. You can do this (apply a score for all students) only if there is no Standard attached to it. Beyond this, my major grumble is that the IEP/504 info. cannot be easily printed for all students in a class, grade, etc. I have spent HOURS copying and pasting this info into a separate document to print out and provide (by law) for substitute teachers. Why Synergy hasn't allowed for an easy way to print this info for all to review is baffling and a disservice to students with IEP/504 plans. Lastly, Synergy is a terrible experience for students and parents and interpreting scores in a Standards-based grading. **What problems is Synergy Education Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am not really solving a problem with Synergy Education Platform. I am required to use it. If someone could resolve the issues with Synergy, I would appreciate the platform a lot more. ### 6. Not consistent, functionality limited **Rating:** 1.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Daryan N. | Substitute Teacher, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 23, 2021 **What do you like best about Synergy Education Platform?** The grading system is simple and has built in categories like homework and tests. I often used it 1 to 1 with assignments from Google Classroom, though it does not yet have an import feature. **What do you dislike about Synergy Education Platform?** It is not compatible with a lot of other school software and has downtime more often than once a week, especially at the start of the school day. It also has a lackluster discipline system. **What problems is Synergy Education Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** Synergy has multiple programs within it that help keep up with a variety of accommodations like 504's and ESE plans as well as MTSS notifications. The information can be accessed easily via tutorials in the programs. ### 7. Hated UX, lots of features **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Robert M. | Founder, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 16, 2022 **What do you like best about Synergy Education Platform?** I guess the reason admins like it is that it has a lot of modules for SIS records, attendance etc. The seating chart configurability is nice for me as a user. **What do you dislike about Synergy Education Platform?** Awful LMS and gradebook UX, universally hated by students, families and teachers. Especially for our standards-based grading and Teams integration, it sucks. **What problems is Synergy Education Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** None. ### 8. Lots of practicality but depends on configuration **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 17, 2022 **What do you like best about Synergy Education Platform?** Synergy allows teachers to have comprehensive student info at their figertips and to carry out administrative duties such as attendance and seating charts as well as communicate with families. **What do you dislike about Synergy Education Platform?** We have seen several synchronization issues with Edgenuity (Imagine) . Also, I have no idea why our district can't get it to communicate with Canvas for the grade book. Not sure whether this is an additional expense or just not streamlined or what. **What problems is Synergy Education Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** I love using it to communicate with families without me having to maintain a database of accurate parent info. ### 9. Great function, Slow bandwidth **Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Timothy F. | Biology Teacher, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 07, 2021 **What do you like best about Synergy Education Platform?** Ease of grading, transfer of scores across Google Classroom to Synergy has gotten quite seamless. **What do you dislike about Synergy Education Platform?** Bandwidth issues during grading time, can't input grades when due. Can't change names of assignments, can either add my own, but can't adjust easily their assignment defaults. Function I would like: "assignments "could overlap with "classwork" and both be a part of a grading group. OR I could change all "assignment" to my preferred type. And/or I would like to adjust the default assignment type. **Recommendations to others considering Synergy Education Platform:** Consult with your local IT in order to get the right access and functions available. **What problems is Synergy Education Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** I love having a grade calculator. It has great attendance and student management accessibility. I love and appreciate the information database system. ### 10. Nightmare System! **Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Primary/Secondary Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** September 08, 2021 **What do you like best about Synergy Education Platform?** It's overall framework could work well, but it needs a lot of changes. **What do you dislike about Synergy Education Platform?** It is difficult to get anyone to help when there is a flaw in the system--and there are plenty of flaws. It would be much more efficient if the company allowed users to contact them directly. **What problems is Synergy Education Platform solving and how is that benefiting you?** 1. It is not allowing me into ParentVue to see my child's grades. It's been OVER A WEEK and the problem has not been resolved. 2. When I tried to contact the company they SENT ME TO THE DISTRICT. Since I teach in the district, I am well aware of contact points. THAT IS NOT WORKING. Let me talk to someone who can fix the problem. 3. You need to hire parents and teachers who can work through all the glitches for you. There are a lot. 4. Simply create a "help" button for users who are having difficulty. It's not rocket science. (This is more from a teacher's perspective, but the ParentVue mess was a tipping point.) ## Synergy Education Platform Discussions - [When is the server going to be updated?
