We’ve been with Schoolcues for many years and love how they work hard to meet our expectations. technical support is always there to help.
Pros: Wonderful tool! User friendly, great technical support, a lot of useful modules, quick communication delivery.
Cons: Not Mobil friendly, photo gallery could use some improvement and would be great if the mb in the file attachments is increased.
Hanane E. · Administrator · Education Management · May 16, 2026
Love it! As a parent and school worker, I think it's a valuable tool that is easy to use and self explanatory for users as well.
Pros: Completeness of modules, mobile application allows key functions for teachers, admins and parents. Payment features are great too!
Cons: Some of the modules may not be needed. Some of the user experience is not like current web apps but its functionality is great for paying and noting absences.

We are happy with SchoolCues and feel that it is worth the value we pay for it. It makes enrollment much simpler than we had done it previously and allows our teachers to communicate through the app rather than using their personal phone number or email.
Pros: We like the enrollment, attendance and student information systems modules. They are user friendly and all our teachers are able to access and use them easily. Customer service has been good. They respond quickly to inquiries.
Cons: We have had lots of deliverability issues this year with the communication module. This is our first year to have this issue, but it has been very difficult. Another difficulty is having our permission forms lock at unpredictable times on the day they are due. I wish they would lock at midnight consistently.

Our school has been using SchoolCues for a few years now. We find that it is easy to use and is great for keeping student records, attendance, distributing permission forms, and so much more. Parents utilize SchoolCues to check their children in and out for the day, communicate with teachers, and input important information prior to their child's start date (Photo Releases, Emergency Contacts, etc). They can also access the school handbook and a directory of school staff, ensuring all pertinent information is at the tip of their fingertips. We are launching our first year of summer camp, and being able to use SchoolCues for these additional students gives us peace of mind. It will be an easy transition for alumni, and an easy to use inferface for new families.
Pros: I enjoy the details in different features, such as allowing event sign ups that may include multiple days/times, archiving alumni so that the information can still be accessed as needed, creating custom contact lists, the option to send reminders about upcoming events, and creating an image gallery where flyers and important announcements can be added.
Cons: In the near future, I hope for an update that will increased the limited characters on TextCues and allow classroom teachers to receive TextCues as well. Also, it would help to include an option that translate messages for parents. I also hope to see an option added to communications that allows a time for the message to be selected instead of simply a date.
Emmanuela P. · Enrichment Coordinator, Community Engagement Specialist · Education Management · March 19, 2026
My experience has been great! The trainings are informative and the team at School Cues is always available to answer questions and/or provide support. [sensitive content hidden] are both so kind and truly make you feel like a name and not just a number. Families seem to navigate it well also. I actually haven't had one complaint from parents this entire year!
Pros: I love all the modules and the options to select modules appropriate to my school. I love the user friendly layout of the website as well. I find the pricing extremely reasonable for all that comes with School Cues. Best value for the amount of services offered.
Cons: The app seems to need more refinement. Lag time can be lengthy and the interface seems slow. I also wish the calendar was printable and that different font colors could be used on the calendar as well as simple graphics/emojis
Amy P. · Principal · Education Management · February 12, 2026
Our overall experience with SchoolCues has been positive. They are responsive to assisting with any needs, although at times explaining an issue via email can be frustrating. Being able to place a call would be so helpful. They have taken the initiative to reach out to me by phone, and that has really been appreciated. Everyone at the company is extremely pleasant and it has been a good experience. We have used SchoolCues for less than a year and are currently going through reenrollment. I know as time passes we will see fluidity in using the system and improvements along the way. There has been some confusion at times, but, overall, we've received positive feedback from our parents.
Pros: $78
Cons: I think the billing/invoicing parents could be a little more straightforward and simple, and I think overall training is lacking. When going through training, there were never "what-if" scenarios or examples given in training. It was honestly more "click this, click that"--which would already be intuitive to most users. The grades feature has been a learning curve for our teachers with some frustrations along the way, but nothing that was too difficult to work out.
Heather S. · Director of Operations · Education Management · February 6, 2026
Great customer service. Incredible product for a great value - thousands and thousands of dollars less than their competitors. It has completely transformed the way that we run our school and our ability to serve our students through cultivating and stewarding student data.
Pros: At Thrive Academy Atlanta, all of our staff loves how easy School Cues is to use. As the lead administrator for the school, I also loved how quick it was for us to set up. In a fraction of a time as other similar software, we were up and running and able to use School Cues to effectively streamline so many processes within our school. The impact on our data and records has been incalcuable.
Cons: Sometimes it has been hard to transfer students between classes, as we have to do because of different student challenges and lack of performance. When we have to transfer a student from a regular class to a modified class, we have to delete their existing assignments... which is difficult.
Laura M. · Lead Administrator · Education Management · January 27, 2026
Pretty tribble, too bad we missed the window of getting our money back, otherwise we would've gone back to quick books, we did that already for communication, we went back to Bloomz....
Pros: I like having parent teacher interaction, any type of electronic form and the payments on the same platform
Cons: The customer support is terrible, the payments are so hard to maneuver and they are very robust. not easy to work with...just frustrating, Quickbooks way easier to use for payments
Estera F. · Office Administrator · Accounting · January 19, 2026
Pros: Very comprehensive. We use it for student enrollment, billing and receiving payments, sending emails and texts to parents, parent-teacher conference signups, and more.
Cons: Because it's so comprehensive, it does a LOT, and not every module is as smooth to use as another. For instance, the signups module is not as easy to use as Sign Up Genius, BUT it's all within the same system as everything else, as opposed to lots of unrelated apps. And because they do so many upgrades, there can be a few minor glitches as they roll out the new features, but at least they continue to enhance the product's value. There are some apps that are "cuter" that really appeal to early childhood parents, but of the products that I've seen, SchoolCues offers the most functionality in terms of what schools truly need, especially considering the price.
Christa M. · Administrator · Education Management · October 23, 2025
So easy to use, and anytime we have any questions or need any help, they are very quick to respond. School Cues has definitely been a lifesaver!
Pros: We love the ease of use. It is so helpful to have an SIS, enrollment, permission slips, sign ups, tuition, and schoolwide messaging all in one place
Cons: There is no integration with Google Classroom. Other than that, there are really no complaints that we have.
Dara S. · Administrator and Teacher · Education Management · October 9, 2025
Well satisfied.
Pros: We use SchoolCues as a means of communication with our families and to store important information. The system is well designed and intuitive. However, most impressive is [sensitive content hidden] and his understanding of the needs and priorities or schools and his willingness to work with his subscribers to meet their challenges. He is in the business for the right reason, to help serve his clients. Dr. Christopher Campisano, Head of Ho`ala School
Cons: NA.
Christopher C. · Head of School · Education Management · October 4, 2025
We have used SchoolCues for 3 years now and plan to continue with it. For small schools, it provides everything we need and then some. Each year, we have added more options.
Pros: Very comprehensive software that offers so many valuable modules, all with ease of use. We have been very happy and highly recommend this management software!
Cons: There was not one feature we didn't like or use with SchoolCues. What I liked least was the module associated with alumni because I don't think we used it correctly.
Sean O. · Principal · Education Management · October 3, 2025
Overall, our experience has been good. We appreciate all the portals and ease of use of the site. The company has worked with us each step of the way and made improvements when necessary.
Pros: I like the ease of use of the platform. Each portal is very easy to navigate and use. I use the SIS, Payments, and Communications portals the most and these are always easy to use.
Cons: Sometimes, emails do not appear in family inboxes and are directed to junk mail. This may be a setting of the parent. Invoices for parents do not meet FSA and tax guidelines. I cannot send SIS reminders to an individual class or family.
Kate G. · Tuition and Admissions Coordinator · Child Day Care Services · October 2, 2025
Very helpful, excellent onboarding and training. Great customer service, very accessible. There are some reporting features that I think could be improved for just pulling csv lists of students etc. Custom reports would be great to add. Great value for the cost though!
Pros: Breadth of the product, tuition programming works well, easy setup, mobile app is solid for emergency contacts etc.
Cons: Gradebook is not great, especially for a high school situation where you have to upload previous course credits.
Anonymous User · Director · Education Management · August 7, 2025
They are quick to fix any issues and have been very professional. I highly recommend this app! The price is also extremely doable for a small school.
Pros: It has everything in one place! Communication, payments, school information system, etc. Anytime I have any issues, they are quick to rectify them and see what they can do further.
Cons: They are still working on adding notifications from the app, otherwise I don’t get notified on any messages.
Emily R. · Principal · Education Management · August 7, 2025
From the early days of exploring new systems to using SchoolCues this entire school year, the customer support and responsiveness have been remarkable.
Pros: SchoolCues has moved us from a school that kept paper records to a streamlined student information system that's digital and available for all our staff members. In addition, their customer service is prompt, communicative, and personable.
Cons: SchoolCues doesn't have a good system for sharing photos from staff to families.
Emily K. · Assistant Director, Arbor Bay School · Education Management · April 15, 2025
SchoolCues has been a wonderful addition to our school. Dr. [sensitive content hidden] is so personable and ensures that you have everything you need to be successful. [sensitive content hidden] is PHENOMENAL at her job and is so quick to answer any questions. Support gets back to us almost immediately if we have any questions or need help with something. There are how-to videos available directly on your SchoolCues portal if you have something you forget how to do or want to make sure you are setting up things correctly. We were able to pick and choose the modules that we needed for our school. The Admin App makes life so much easier for our administrators and provides information we need while we are on the go. TextCues allows us to provide quick updates to families in a timely fashion. We are going into our third year with SchoolCues and couldn't be happier with the service.
Pros: Our school families absolutely love SchoolCues. They feel like it is very user friendly and has so many things to help make life easier. Being able to pay school fees, submit absence notices, and fill out all student forms in one place is an amazing thing and a time saver for so many of our families. As the school worker that runs our SchoolCues, support always got back to me almost immediately whenever I have a question or needed help with something.
Cons: NA. SchoolCues has been amazing to work with for the last two school years.
Mariah M. · Information and Technology Administrator · Education Management · April 10, 2025
We have been with School Cues for years, it has helped automate our small school in so many ways at a price we could afford. We have always had a good relationship and have worked out the kinks through the years.
Pros: SchoolCues automates a number of features for us. There is an easy overview of the child's info, parent teacher conference application, newsletter, calendar that sends out notifications of upcoming events, school directory, allergy reports. Best however, is the payment application, we can setup payments for everything from field trips to tuition for preschool. Reminders are sent and I can easily see if someone is behind.
Cons: It has nice reports that will drop into excel but I wish it had an actual report writer option.
Tammi C. · Director of Finance · Education Management · April 7, 2025
We have been very satisfied in our product usage and application. We are getting three times more for a third of the price of our previous back office product.
Pros: Advantages include easy use, intuitive functionality, incredibly reliable uptime, module choice so we only pay for what we need, and a very responsive team behind the product. We are one of Schoolcues first schools, and there has never been a consideration of moving because of the quality product and professional caring team behind it.
Cons: Every product has weaknesses, but every time we bring a need to the company, we see an improvement. For example, we needed more room for uploads of student records…it happened in a revision of the product. Responsive.
John W. · Sr Administrator · Education Management · March 29, 2025
My overall experience with SchoolCues has been great. The platform is easy to navigate and provides a lot of useful features for managing communication and school records. I’ve found their training sessions to be very helpful, and they are always willing to set up a meeting on Fridays or at other convenient times to troubleshoot any issues. Their support team is readily available and responsive, which makes the process of setting up and resolving any concerns much easier.
Pros: What I like most about SchoolCues is how it keeps all attendance records in one place, making it easy to track and manage. The system also makes communication between teachers and parents seamless, with the ability to send updates and messages directly. I especially appreciate being able to input alumni information, as well as creating sign-up sheets for parents for events or activities. It truly helps streamline everything!
Cons: What I like least about SchoolCues is that it doesn’t offer an option to translate messages into another language or switch the language in which you type. Additionally, it would be helpful if we could pull attendance records from previous years. I also would like to allow longer messaging when creating a textcue or sign up sheet details.
Cheyenne M. · Assistant Director · Education Management · March 25, 2025
It’s been wonderful! We've been using SchoolCues since November when we had to abruptly switch software applications. The training and transition were smooth, and once we got the hang of the system, it proved to be incredibly reliable. Several other schools I spoke with before purchasing shared similar positive experiences. The platform is easy to use, the help desk is consistently responsive, and it offers many tools that our previous software lacked—all at an affordable price. We highly recommend it to any small school looking for a robust tuition payment collection solution.
Pros: It offers all the essential features our school needs to efficiently collect tuition and fees—without breaking the bank. The platform is user-friendly and includes helpful video tutorials to make getting acclimated seamless.
Cons: A call-in help line would be fantastic, though I understand that most software support systems are shifting away from that approach.
Neelam P. · Bookkeeper · Education Management · February 24, 2025
The support and development team at SchoolCues has been wonderful to work with! They answer questions promptly when we have them. The [sensitive content hidden] of the company is very involved also, which I appreciate. They have plenty of training opportunities (videos, help prompts within the program, and live training classes). They are open and willing to take our suggestions for enhancements to their program as they truly want to make it the best product for small schools. We are glad we found them!
Pros: SchoolCues is easy to use for our teachers and parents! We previewed several programs for our small hybrid school. SchoolCues is not the cheapest option, but it had the items we were looking for (SIS, reports, attendance, admissions/enrollment, gradebook with reporting, a payment portal, parent/teacher conference sign up, school directory, communications, etc).
Cons: The pricing document they shared with us when we first met with them was a little confusing (more complicated than it needed to be). We struggled a little setting up our Gradebook. We are using it, but will do it a little differently next year (our own learning curve).
Alana S. · Board Treasurer · Education Management · January 29, 2025
This is a best-in-class product for school administration.
Pros: UX and UI design is intuitive and easy to use. The cost/value added is exceptional compared to other products. Training is excellent and the on-going, in-person training is top-notch. Tech assistance is responsive, usually within 24 hrs.
Cons: It's not set up to accommodate the selection of specific classes for homeschool co-ops/university model schools.
Alexandra K. · Director · Non-Profit Organization Management · November 5, 2024
Good. Easy to learn. There is an education tab that provides numerous training videos.
Pros: I like the database functionality of SchoolCues. We just started using the system for our before and after school care charges.
Cons: SchoolCues has been very easy to work with regarding any "cons".
Tim L. · Accountant · Education Management · October 31, 2024
Service and support has been good and technology has worked as expected
Pros: SchoolCues is easy to use and has everything you need to manage in one place. The weekly trainings are very helpful.
Cons: The reports are helpful, but not completely flexible (i.e. pick and choose exactly what you want to see in each). It would be great if they created flexible reporting that you could design on the fly.
