Skyward Student Management Suite

Pros: Can see the kids grades and that's about it. I don't like much else about the app. It's not user friendly

Cons: Customer support SUCKS. Can't log in half the time because the website/app forgets your password. Says you will get an email soon but never sends one. App is not user friendly. Every time I try to log in it forgets my password and I have to contact I.T. for a reset and even if I remember my password it will still not let me log in if I log out after that. Absolutely ridiculous.

Pros: Easy access to all of the student information such as schedule, contact info, test scores, records, etc.

Cons: It doesn’t really give a place to reach out to teachers directly. Or it’s not easy to find if it is an option.

Pros: Initially, I started on the SMS version and loved it. It was so easy to use, had great reporting and provided me what I needed. I am now on Q and the District users like this . They find it easier to use compared to our old software.

Cons: I wish there were more useful reports and that the reports that are available, I wish they had the ability to limit the data or query it. I also wish that support was quicker with responses. The capital asset module is very disappointing. There could be so many useful reports added but it's like they started developing it and then just suddenly stopped and called it good.

Pros: I love how the layout of it is. It makes it easy and I love the app itself it tells my grades.

Cons: The Charts are a little confusing but other wise great

Pros: The ease of reports and data mining creativity.

Cons: I honestly do not use much as I do special education mostly.

Pros: Able to manage all kids in one place. View grades, attendance records and transportation information

Cons: A lot of unused apps or functions that is confusing

Pros: This allows us to reach both the students and caregivers at once and have all of the information in one place. It also allows them to reach us or return a message quickly and easily.

Cons: If there is more than one student sometimes linked to one parent/guardian it doesn't always connect them easily.

Pros: I like the ease of functions Skyward offers. My current school uses a program called TAC and compared to Skyward, it's very difficult. Skyward made it very easy to find student information, input grades, and copy assignments. The attendance was also easy to input. I also like how different schools can change the layout of Skyward to suit their needs.

Cons: One thing I do not like about Skyward is the rostering system. Because it goes by period, if a school has A and B days, this causes Skyward to have multiple rosters for each class. This makes it difficult because it takes time to choose the correct roster for the date/period. It's not done with a glance in which I can just click on the period number. It takes much too long to decipher which roster to pick for that date/time attendance.

Pros: It has lots of features and ships with a mobile app and website. It also has a domain and total control of all data.

Cons: Horrible UI, bad graphics and design, slow and clunky, features that just don’t work, overpriced

Pros: Nothing at all do I like about Skyward.

Cons: Very difficult to use and a waste of time and energy

Pros: Many different areas to get to something looking for as in reports or registration.

Cons: Integration want a seamless as proffered but change takes time

Pros: I don't like anything. I am tired of using a platform that requires me to get out an old computer to use it. Fix your mobile site to function.

Cons: Everything was a waste of my time as a parent. All workflows are not intuitive.

Pros: Nice to have everything in one place, but....

Cons: ... it's very difficult to use. Unnecessarily so.

Pros: Es fácil de utilizar y orienta como operar el software

Cons: Contratar el servicio y lo poco accesible q se hace para un estudiante por recurso financiero escaso

Pros: I use this for attendance, looking up student information, and for a gradebook. The gradebook is very user friendly and easy to use.

Cons: The messaging center feature could use some improvements. It is not easy to respond to emails within this platform.

Pros: Very easy to use for students and teachers. I love how as a student I am able to see every single detail about my grades and what is submitted and what did not get submitted.

Cons: Through my use of Skyward for high school, I have loved it!

Pros: It is a very good software, full of features and options, to some extent easy to use specially for the daily basis tasks. Very good support.

Cons: Not very opened to customizations, and being an international customer our requests are not heard or taken into consideration.

Pros: Ease of useFlexibility managing complex schedules, reports, etcProduct RangeCustomer Support

Cons: The interface is dated but that is solved with the new Qmlativ product.

Pros: Skyward does a good job of meeting teachers needs, making grading and attendance easy, and simply making teachers' jobs easier.

Cons: Adding columns or data within a screen is easy to do (2 clicks to start), but the process of choosing the correct data you want is a rabbit hole. There is SO MUCH data in the database, that you need to know an exact pathway in order to add the correct data to a screen.

Pros: The user interfaces designed very well, and the ease of use is not notch. I was able to learn skyward within one day when I started working for the school district. So I would say that ease-of-use is by far my favorite part of the software.

Cons: Having to reset my password every couple of weeks is rather annoying. If we could fix that, I would really appreciate it. I don’t like having to call tech-support to reset my password every two weeks to one month.

Pros: Course management and scheduling are very straight forward, making it easy to adjust class sizes & sections

Cons: While the student profiles are thorough, the number of inputs & options tend to get tedious.

Pros: It so easy to register with no problems and it helps navigate with ease with step by step instructions

Cons: It’s kind of hard to do the attendance on there, but after a try or two it’s okay

Pros: We have a family account with SKYWARD and we used it several times a week for our high school aged children. The software is very user friendly. We are able to check grades, add lunch money, see announcements, etc ..

Cons: Since using the software, we have not found anything we don't like. Having family access allows everyone to see our account.
