Verified reviewer Education Management 11-50 employees Used daily for more than 2 years Review source Reviewed April 2026 Teacher and administrator 5 Overall, the experience with Gradelink is generally very positive, especially for schools looking for a reliable and easy-to-use system. Most users report that it simplifies day-to-day operations like grading, attendance, and communication, helping schools stay organized and efficient. The platform is often described as user-friendly and accessible, with many appreciating how it centralizes information for administrators, teachers, students, and parents. Customer support is a major highlight, consistently praised for being responsive and helpful when issues arise. However, the experience isn’t perfect some users mention a learning curve at the beginning, occasional glitches, and limited customization in certain features. Despite these minor drawbacks, the overall sentiment is that Gradelink is a dependable, well-rounded solution that delivers strong value and improves school management workflows Ratings Breakdown 5 Ease of use 5 Value for money 5 Customer support 5 Functionality Pros: it combines a wide range of essential school management features into a single, user-friendly platform without feeling overly complex. It offers strong security with clear permission controls, ensuring student data stays protected while remaining accessible to the right users. The value for money is excellent, as it includes grading, attendance, communication, and reporting tools all in one system, eliminating the need for multiple platforms. Customer support is responsive and helpful, making onboarding and troubleshooting much smoother. Managing students and teachers is efficient, with simple processes for enrollment, class assignments, and organization, while student information is neatly structured and easy to access. The assignment and grading tools are intuitive and flexible, helping teachers save time and maintain consistency, and overall grade and class management is straightforward, making it easy to track performance and keep everything organized throughout the academic year. Cons: Occasional technical issues like calendar glitches or minor system bugs, and there can be a learning curve for new users despite its overall simplicity. Additionally, schools with more complex needs may find the platform lacking in advanced features, integrations, and reporting capabilities compared to larger, enterprise-level systems. Reasons for switching to Gradelink More user friendly and easy for my team to use. Vendor Response Wow! Thank you for sharing so many ways your school is using Gradelink, Amana! Replied June 2026 Read More LC Lynn C. Verified reviewer Education Management 11-50 employees Used daily for more than 2 years Review source Reviewed July 2022 Makes generating transcripts a dream! Friendly customer service. 5 The support we have received has been very helpful in figuring out what we can and cannot expect from Gradelink. In the main, our team has been very happy with the professionalism Gradelink has given our school over the last 3 years. We plan to continue using it. Ratings Breakdown 4 Ease of use Previously 5 5 Value for money 5 Customer support 4 Functionality Pros: The transcript feature, communication features, and standards tracking have been exceptionally useful for our school. The main reason we looked for a SIS was for transcript records management, and Gradelink has been perfect for us. The Report Card has been more difficult to customize for our small school, but teachers have been able to find work-arounds. Cons: Ease of Use is 4 stars because some teachers have had a difficult time getting the hang of it, and some help tutorials or explanations can be difficult to find until you know what you're looking for. One feature that we have asked for several times is an app for teachers. The software is unusable on a mobile device, and there are times when a student calls with a question and the teacher is not by a computer browser to help answer that question. Reasons for choosing Gradelink Gradelink had the most usable features that would integrate with our school operation. Financial accountability was another reason we chose Gradelink; it has great pricing considerations for small schools. We were also able to take advantage of a bonus discount for the setup fee. Read More TM Tiffany M. Verified reviewer Education Management 11-50 employees Used daily for more than 2 years Review source Reviewed April 2026 Great One Stop Shop for Schools 5 We have been using Gradelink for at least 3 years, and I still like the versatility of being able to do all the above mentioned things on one website with one login. I thinks parents also appreciate everything (enrollment and grades) being in the same place, too. Email may come from Gradelink, but it then creates an email thread in our school Gmail accounts, so parents don't actually have to use Gradelink to email back and forth. Ratings Breakdown 5 Ease of use 5 Value for money 5 Customer support 5 Functionality Pros: My favorite part is that everything is on one website/login. I can lesson plan, record grades, find parents' email addresses and phone numbers, and email parents all in one place. We have different groups set up, so I can email my class or my extracurricular with the click of one button. I can also exclude certain families, if it is a reminder email that certain families don't need. As far as I have heard from my principal and director of technology, the support is easy-to-use and very helpful. One example is that the support team has adjusted the look of our report cards to make sure it looks the way we want. If we are having any trouble, my principal or our director of technology submits a support ticket. Cons: The only thing I don't like is that copying lesson plans from previous years has a lot of steps. Unless I am missing some training, you have to click through a lot of buttons to find past lessons, then copy, then click back through all the buttons to get to the current week to paste. If you only have to do one lesson, it might be worth it, but if you are trying to copy a week or two for a whole unit, it gets too unmanageable. Reasons for switching to Gradelink This company did both of those two, and was cheaper. Vendor Response Wow, thank you for such a thorough review, Tiffany! When it comes to copying lesson plans, you may prefer using collections. Please click on the question mark icon at the top of the screen in Gradelink to access the free help website, then type “Lesson Plan Collection” in the search bar for easy instructions. Replied May 2026 Read More AD Amy D. Verified reviewer Education Management 201-500 employees Used weekly for less than 2 years Review source Reviewed April 2026 An Overall Great Platform for School Reporting 4 Overall, I am happy with the system. The platform is fairly easy to navigate and, when I do have a problem, the feedback I receive is easy to apply. Gradelink continues to improve the system and does a great job communicating changes and enhancements. Ratings Breakdown 4 Ease of use 4 Value for money 5 Customer support 5 Functionality Pros: The customer support is phenomenal! Anytime I reach out with a question, I receive a response in a very timely manner. In addition, the features in the Gradelink system cover all of our grade reporting needs. Cons: We have encountered many issues this year with parent notification. We use the system to send texts when there is a delay or cancellation due to weather and constantly have problems with people (staff and parents alike) not receiving the alert. Reasons for switching to Gradelink The company we previously used (MSP) for report cards closed. Vendor Response We’re thrilled you’re so happy with Gradelink, Amy! We recently upgraded SmartSend Pro (voice and text messaging), so you should be experiencing much better reliability. However, if you have any issues, we’re here for you. Replied June 2026 Read More JG Jennifer G. Verified reviewer Education Management 11-50 employees Used daily for more than 2 years Review source Reviewed April 2026 We Love Gradelink 5 Overall, our school is so pleased with Gradelink. The customer service, which is rarely needed, is super responsive. The system is reliable and does an excellent job managing our grades, attendance, student information, and enrollment. Our teachers find it easy to use! Ratings Breakdown 5 Ease of use 5 Value for money 5 Customer support 4 Functionality Pros: Excellent customer service Reliable platform User friendly Highly customized enrollment experience Gradebook Cons: Wish the communication tool had more options in terms of lists and resending to previous people on previous communication Reasons for choosing Gradelink It had the features we needed, but not too many. We wanted a product that did the core things we needed VERY WELL, rather than a milliion features done so-so. Reasons for switching to Gradelink It did not work. The record keeping was not accurate. Features did not work. Customer service was not responsive and was overseas. Vendor Response We love that you’re so pleased with Gradelink and that it’s working so well for your staff, Jennifer! Replied July 2026 Read More HJ Heather J. Verified reviewer Education Management 11-50 employees Used daily for more than 2 years Review source Reviewed April 2026 Grading, reports, student/staff info is a breeze! 5 Ratings Breakdown 5 Ease of use 5 Value for money 5 Customer support 4 Functionality Pros: I have used Gradelink for 17 of my 19 years of teaching. Gradelink is user friendly, logical, and easy to use. Parents can see student achievement whenever they want, and report cards are easy to create. As an admin, adding new staff and/or students is quick and easy. Most questions can be answered via their help desk, but if you phone and leave a message, you get a response usually same day, next business day at the latest. Cons: Gradelink is great for communicating with staff, students, and parents, but it isn't always easy/practical to add people outside of those categories who still need the communication. For example, we send our school newsletter via Gradelink. But if we have school board members who don't have children in our school but still want to receive school information, it requires extra steps to get it to them, or we have to create fake accounts. Reasons for switching to Gradelink New principal was familiar with Gradelink, and Gradelink was easier to use for both staff and parents. Vendor Response We sincerely appreciate the opportunity to serve you and your school for all these years, Denise! We’re elated that Gradelink has worked so well for you, and we look forward to many more years together. Replied June 2026 Read More IM Ian M. Verified reviewer Education Management 51-200 employees Used daily for more than 2 years Review source Reviewed April 2026 A Perfect, Simple School Management Program 5 We had been using Gradelink for one location and had cause to urgently switch to Gradelink for our other location. The team made what was a stressful situation a seemless transition. There are other programs with more features, but the intuitive nature of the program and strength in the key functionality for classes, reporting, scheduling is excellent. Ratings Breakdown 5 Ease of use 5 Value for money 5 Customer support 5 Functionality Pros: The amazing customer service and quick turnaround when we really needed it were the things that stood out. They have a good product and a great team. Cons: I really didn't have any complaints whatsoever. It did everything we needed it to do and it was very easy to learn to use. Reasons for choosing Gradelink Ease of use, price, customer support and functionality. Reasons for switching to Gradelink We had been using Gradelink before at another location, and we liked it a lot. Vendor Response We love that Gradelink is working so well for you that you’re using it in multiple locations now, Ian! Replied May 2026 Read More AD Anuhea D. Verified reviewer Education Management 11-50 employees Used daily for more than 2 years Review source Reviewed April 2026 Coordinating everything with Gradelink! 5 Gradelink has been such a wonderful platform to use as someone who work as both an office administrator and teacher. The amount of things that can be centralized is great! Ratings Breakdown 5 Ease of use 5 Value for money 5 Customer support 5 Functionality Pros: Centralizing all of our SIS and gradebooks across teachers and the school. The ability to easily notify families in multiple ways, as we needed to do for weather closures recently, was extremely helpful. Cons: Can have a little bit of a learning curve for new users if they are not committed to watching the training videos and reading the training articles. Can be a little difficult to add images to emails. Reasons for switching to Gradelink Ease of use for the system and integration of more applications Vendor Response Good news, Anuhea: We are working on an update that will make it much easier to add images to emails, School News, and Teacher Pages. Stay tuned for updates! Replied June 2026 Read More TI Twidley I.

Is it possible to have an option for the teachers to upload all their lesson plans but select what parts of it can be viewed by the parents? Reasons for switching to Gradelink Inefficiency of the team and ease of system use Vendor Response We work hard to make life easier on educators, so it’s rewarding to hear Gradelink allows you to work more efficiently, Twidley!
