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.

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!

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.

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.

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 has improved our experience with creating classes

Greatly reduced administration hours and allows us to track data across multiple years

User interface needs more features like selecting multiple students to make changes and sorting students and solver according to different values e.g. names, gender

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

This is an exceptional product. Having used spreadsheets for class placement data over the past 17 years, I have found Class Solver to be invaluable since its introduction to our school last year. Their IT department staff are amazing - nothing is to difficult for them. Their customer response time is incredible. I have asked many many questions over these past 2 years, and each has been answered in a very timely manner and in layman's terms. Any feedback I have provided has been responded to by either a quick email or phone call. We certainly have no plans to return to the database days of yore!

This program takes into consideration all data inputted into it, e.g. teacher requests, parent considerations, students with learning needs etc. The algorithm then works on this myriad of information and formulates the classes. Ultimately the user is still is control of the end result via the drag and drop facility. After classes have been sorted, at a glance the user can see instantly see how any manual changes made after this may overall affect class placements.

There is absolutely nothing I disliked about Class Solver.

My overall experience with Class Solver was fantastic! We did not know how we would separate our in-person classes from remote students and assign them to teachers. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN], a specialist at Class Solver, worked with us, despite the 14 hour time zone difference between us, to develop characteristics to include in the program to help us during the pandemic and the chaos of running two schools, both virtual and remote.

What I like most about Class Solver is the ease of use. It is very easy to customize the program for your schools indivdual needs and wants. For instance we wanted to separate students who had birthdays early in the year and late in the year. We were able to easily add the birthday characteristic.

There was only one minor con that I had with the program and that was how the class list were presented. Although the program listed the number of males and females in the class, I would have liked to see a total so that I could quickly see which classes were high or low in the number of students.

Class solver has revolutionized our class placement process and as we become increasingly familiar with its extensive capabilities we are finding a range of additional applications within our school setting.

Ease of implementation, customization options, time saver, has revolutionized thoughtful, intentional class placement of students

Hard to think of anything. If there was to be one thing I would recommend time stamping 'requests' so that, when archived, you can remember what year the requests were submitted

This is the software program that all schools will benefit from having. The saving of time and stress makes the cost almost negligible.

Can be personalised to the characteristics most appropriate to your own environment Support videos are extremely easy to follow Can be started and revisited at any time Straight forward process Efficient support access The most beneficial aspect is the BOOST facility to ensure that if you have to change a student it recalibrates to ensure friendships and characteristics are not compromised.

to this point we have not had any concerns about the program.

Efficient, professional and exceptional.

I really love the customer service. They are quick to reply and help with even the small stuff.

I don't have one - and that is genuine.

I have used Class Solver at two different schools and at both, it was a success. I will never again ask teachers to work through creating classes without this program again!

Class Solver is easy to use and implement. It speaks with the other programs used by schools, which makes the process from beginning to end seamless. The algorithm allows teachers to balance the nuance of student characteristics and needs, which was never possible with the old pencil and sticky note method. I recommend this program to anyone wanting something that reduce workload and increases the likelihood of creating well-formed, considered and balanced classrooms.

The videos are great and help a lot to work through the process. It would be great if the company added an additional check list document to support the process as well.

I started using Class Solver in a small Primary school and now use it at my P-12 school also. It has been a perfect tool to use for either. It has saved staff hours of time at the end of the school year when they are tired and inundated with deadlines. It has been a fabulous adjunct to our IT tools.

It has provided us with a quick and systemic process to sort students into classes while still addressing their individual needs and friendship groups. It allows the people who know them well as a learner (their teachers) to have full input. Initial drafts can be shared and then further discussion, if needed, can be undertaken. Our school also asks for specific feedback from parents and students which can then be submitted using the categoreies.

We haven't found any to date, however, it is important to walk staff through how it works and give them time to 'play' with it , to build their trust.

Very happy with Class solver and the excellent personal support from the Solver team when needed.

Class Solver is very easy to use and comes with clear self help videos to guide you. I love how we can lock certain students in to classes, add student, teacher or parent requests and easily move students from class to class. The program allows you to set your own priority order for class placements and will alert you to possible placement concerns.

I would love to be able to print the classes individual or by teaching teams rather than by year level only

Amazing and I am so glad we chose to go in this direction.

Very easy to use after the initial setup. [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] does an amazing job of helping complete the setup and personalizing it to fit your school. Staff felt it was very easy to use and I would recommend any school organization to contact them as they will certainly be able to fit all school's needs.

The initial setup (prior to meeting with [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]) was difficult but after meeting with [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] it all made sense. Not really a con as I was able to meet with him and he walked us through so just make sure to take advantage and meet with a representative from Class Solver prior to doing anything in the porgram.

The thing I like most about Class Solver is not only the product but the customer service that comes with it. The team at Class Solver are quick to respond to any questions or queries we have. It's easy to navigate and very reasonably priced.

The product is easy to use. It's a great time saver and does most of the work for you as long as you input as much information as possible. It's great to have a record of all the selections that have been made by students, also great for anyone to pick up. Doesn't rely on "a keeper of information", the product is the keeper.

We can't fault the product, it has been a perfect for our team!

I entered a free trial for this school year. There is no doubt that we will continue using this program in future years. It has easily saved us 100's of hours.

From the beginning this program has been a life saver. The customer service team assisted with the initial input of information, and has been there each step of the way! The color coding system allows the user to easily compare characteristics across classes. The students can easily be moved and locked in to ensure balanced classes.

When working with my team of administrators, I have to refresh my screen is someone else moves a students.

Absolutely fantastic!! We were the first high school class solver had worked with, and they took feedback on board repeatedly to make it do what we wanted it to do.

Ease of use. Saves us HOURS of work as opposed to doing it all by hand. Responsiveness of staff.

Honestly - the only way it could eb improved is by making it free.

The software offers our school a simple solution to gaining an important overview of our classes needs, ensuring no one class is impacted more than an another by students with higher learning needs. It also allows us to ensure students are placed with friends and away from distractions.

Sometimes the imports can be time consuming/confusing to import and see when data has been accurately input.

Outstanding time saving software. It has reduced many hours of decision making and removed emotion out of the process.

How it sorts classes using criteria and requests. Alerts you when a request isn’t met Easy to export / print Easy to add students Easy to download data

Would like student page to have different sorts for each column. Would like to add how many of each year level in composite classes Requests that are rolled over include date of request.

I have appreciated how easy it is to use, but that if there are questions, that they are so easy to reach and help answer questions.

I love how easy it is to use, and how adaptable it is to our needs, and how much time it saves our teachers.

I would like to see it work with Skyward more seamlessly, but that being said, it only took a few minutes to upload the necessary information. It has been great for our school.

My overall experience with Class Solver is excellent. When I needed assistance, they gave immediate responses.

The best feature of this program is the fast, accurate placement of students for the following school year.

I would like to be able to print in color what I see on the screen. For example, the characteristic blue/gold day would print the students as highlighted blue and gold just like the computer screen shows.

Class Solver is very user friendly. It is intuitive to how I wanted to distribute classes and it was easy to make any changes. The customer service was exemplary, they really want to make sure that the product does exactly what you want it to. I was constantly amazed by their attention to detail and timeliness.

Nothing, all aspects of Class Solver are exceptional.

Excellent product that saves time and gives peace of mind.

The fact that you can add many sub categories to consider when grouping students. Each sub level is colour coded.

When you boost you lose record of previous boost.

Class solver has saved us as a school a lot of time in making classes, camp groups, etc.

The ease and practicality of it. You can set the parameters, enter the data you want, in the priority you want, and off it goes. It even keeps it for you!

Nothing, it really is amazing. Before we had class solver, making classes for the next year was a massive headache. Now it’s much simpler and changes are easier to track.

The customer service was incredible! Every question I had was answered within 24 hours with wonderful detail and specific to my individual problems. The product could sell itself but the service made this program rise to the top!

Teachers have the ability to add friendships and separate from peers that encourage poor choices. When students are moved to another class, flags appear if there is any problem with the new placement. It really saves on a lot of headaches and misplacements.

Would love for ClassSolver to connect automatically to our county platform for scheduling classes.
