Just what we were looking for.

[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and his development team were instrumental in our on boarding of this software. They walked us through every step and followed up to make sure we were pleased with the service.

PROS

This software is incredibly easy to customize and is extremely user friendly. The staff at SchoolCues is professional and available to assist in any way needed.

CONS

I have to send text messages from my computer instead of phone because sometimes the word sequencing gets jumbled from the phone.

Reason for choosing SchoolCues

FACTS was more expensive and had poor customer service.

Reasons for switching to SchoolCues

FileMakerPro is hardware and thus it could not be shared between staff members. In addition it was very user unfriendly.

Vendor Response

Hi Amy, we appreciate your kind words! Also, thank you for bringing the texting part to our attention, we will see what we can do about that.

Best value for small schools

SchoolCues has been a big part of our SOLUTION for our school. We could not afford using one of the big SIS in the market because those are too expensive, too difficult to manage, too cumbersome to deploy. SchoolCues is just fine for our small, growing school. It allowed us to go to market really fast and requires minimal management from our side. Did I mentioned also that the training and support they offer is amazing!! We feel that we have a real partner with SchoolCues team and ours.

PROS

These are the pros of SchoolCues: 1) Extremely easy to deploy. Adding users and families is simple if you follow the instructions provided. 2) Easy to manage payments. Again, using the instructions provided is essential to be successful. 3) Great training available. Take advantage of the training online and live training sessions. You get trained by people that really know the software. 4) Super-responsive customer support. If you see a problem, report it, and the team will usually fix the problem really fast. 5) The system is very comprehensive to do almost everything you need to get done. Even though the system is purposefully built not to be very "customizable", it pretty much does everything you need or can imagine. 6) Best value for the money!!

CONS

These are the cons of SchoolCues: 1) User interface is developed by the software engineering team. The good thing about this is that once you understand how the software is designed, then it makes sense. The bad thing is that you need to think like a software engineer to make sense of it. 2) In many places, lists do not sort correctly. These are a few of the annoying minor bugs that the team is correcting. So, you need to be careful when looking at lists of things, because they are usually not sorted in a sensical way. 3) It is not "customizable" by design. This is a good thing because it helps keep the cost and price down, and you learn to us it quickly without having to make a ton of decisions for everything. The bad part of this is that if you need to do something different from what the software does, you are out of luck.

Reason for choosing SchoolCues

Cost, ease of deployment, right size for our needs.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your review Pablo. Please communicate with us if you have any further suggestions, and we will see what we can do about it, as long as it is in our control. We are glad you like our system overall.

School Cues Review

I am so grateful to the entire SchoolCues team, especially Dr. S. I run a small school and am the only person who works in the administration. Without the help of SchoolCues, I would not be able to do it all.

PROS

I love that SchoolCues is an all-in-one system. I don't really need any other programs to run the admin side of my school.

CONS

Sometimes, simple things can have too many clicks or steps. It makes it hard to remember how to do them.

Reason for choosing SchoolCues

Because it is an all-in-one system. Busy parents do not need many different apps to choose from.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your feedback, Santina. We are so glad to hear that SchoolCues is meeting the needs of your school, and that you've had such a positive experience with the team. We are always open to any suggestions you might have regarding workflow, or ways to help facilitate the learning process of the platform. Stay tuned for some new features that we will be implementing for the next school year!
