About Class Solver

Class Solver is the must-have student class placement software to create K-12 class lists and groups. Every year middle schools spend countless hours assigning students to classes.

Class Solver has worked with thousands of educators to develop the world’s first end-to-end solution that seamlessly creates classes for middle schools.

Class Solver is a Game Changer!

I feel that this product is a must if you want to have a professional system for organizing and placing students each year. The amount of different ways you can view lists and student characteristics is helpful and the database storing student information is so helpful for anyone reviewing the lists and making decisions. The ease in which you can sort or switch students was helpful and a feature we used often. We were completely satisfied and look forward to utilizing this again each year. Great product.

PROS

This software took the place of our antiquated self-created spreadsheet system and made student placement organized, efficient and successful. As one of the largest K-8 districts in Illinois, we were able to work collaboratively between grade levels and ensure that parent requests or other special requests were honored and archived for years to come. We usually spend months working on placement due to the spreadsheets not meeting our needs, this year, ClassSolver changed all of that, it was user friendly and our representative from the company customized it to meet our unique needs of being center schools. The best purchase I made all year!

CONS

I honestly can't think of anything that we didn't like about using this tool. Any changes we needed to make due to the size of our building and district, our representative helped us think it through and then customized to meet our needs.

Reason for choosing Class Solver

Once we looked and did the demo for Class Solver, it met all of our needs. There were also positive reviews on principal/education blogs that held a lot of weight with our decision. We reached out to those school districts and asked them their opinion and that solidified our decision. Plus, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN], our representative, was so helpful and met with us several times to ensure we had everything we needed.

Class Solver is revolutionary~

PROS

I recently had the pleasure of utilizing the services provided by Class Solver, and I must say, it has truly revolutionized the way schools handle class placement. This innovative company has successfully simplified and streamlined what can often be a daunting and time-consuming process. From the moment I logged into the Class Solver platform, I was greeted by a clean and user-friendly interface. Navigating through the system was a breeze, thanks to its intuitive design. The thoughtful layout and straightforward instructions made the entire experience remarkably smooth, even for those who may not be tech-savvy. What impressed me most about Class Solver was its commitment to customization. The platform seamlessly accommodated the unique needs of our school, allowing for personalized class placement criteria. Whether it was considering academic performance, special needs, or student preferences, Class Solver effortlessly adapted to our requirements, ensuring a tailored approach to class organization. The efficiency of the algorithm used by Class Solver is truly commendable. It swiftly processed a vast amount of data, optimizing class placement with speed and accuracy. This not only saved valuable time for our school administrators but also contributed to a more equitable and balanced distribution of students across classes. The customer support provided by Class Solver deserves special mention. The team was responsive, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to address any queries or concerns we had. Their commitment to client satisfaction was evident throughout the entire process, making us feel supported and valued as a customer.

CONS

We have zero complaints! We were hesitant about trying this but we couldn't complain when they offered us a free trial. We will never go back to anything else!

Class Solver - There isn't a problem Class Solver Can't Solve!

My overall experience has been a positive one - the people who work for Class Solver are fantastic, friendly, helpful and could not be more generous with their time and assistance, if required. Customer service is second-to-none.

PROS

What I like most about Class Solver is the time it saves me in creating new classes at the start of the school year. I also like that I can use Class Solver to easily manage cabin allocations for camp.

CONS

There is honestly nothing that I don't like about it. If my school didn't pay for it - I would pay for it myself as it is such a time-saving program.

Class Solver - Made our lives so much easier

Very easy to use. Very impressive customer support! All around excellent tool.

PROS

Class Solver has allowed our school to have a platform that is reliable and easy to use as we manage shuffling hundreds of students as they progress from grade to grade. It stores the information requests from parents, teachers, and administrators so they are right in front of us as we are making the decisions. It flags conflicts and helps us resolve them. When we had issues or needs the customer support was excellent. They were timely and responsive. They helped us understand how to use the program better, and even uploaded files we needed to avoid lots of human error. With 7 parallel classes per grade having a program available like this was excellent!

CONS

We found some trouble with viewing all 7 classes at one time unless we resized the screen. We got used to it, but for a school with as many classes as we have it took getting used to. We also value the neighborhood as a criterion and would have liked to see the ability to use some way to harness a better tool for letting us know how far away each girl lives from the others in her class...you could set this up as a criteria within the program and I do not know of a program that does this...the company listened to these issues and worked to help us resolve...but those were the issues we had.

Reason for choosing Class Solver

We searched but could not find one that met our needs

Reasons for switching to Class Solver

Constantly crashed and programmers left the organization so no support.
