PowerSchool’s strength is flexibility, and because of that flexibility, a school district can align PowerSchool’s presentation of information more closely to its vision for what matters to students. The information they receive from their SIS is presented not in a way that serves some prototype school district, but in a way that has been tailored to their specific school district.

I like the PowerSchool SIS because it is web-based and allows all our users, everyone from small cities and towns to very rural communities, admin, teachers, students and parents alike, to have access to student data no matter where they are. The product is customizable so that our school division’s needs are met.

We have never experienced such an accessible and user-friendly version of PowerSchool before. I have been working with PowerSchool for ten years as a blind user, and this is the first time I am truly keeping up with everyone. It is a great feeling.
