[Overview](https://www.softwareadvice.com/classroom-management/gradelink-profile/) Reviews [Alternatives](https://www.softwareadvice.com/classroom-management/gradelink-profile/alternatives/) # Gradelink User Reviews ## Reviews summary - Overall rating: 4.7/5 - Total reviews: 735 ### Secondary ratings - Ease of use: 4.6/5 - Customer support: 4.9/5 - Value for money: 4.7/5 - Functionality: 4.5/5 ### Rating distribution - 5 stars: 557 reviews (76%) - 4 stars: 156 reviews (21%) - 3 stars: 19 reviews (3%) - 2 stars: 1 reviews (0%) - 1 star: 2 reviews (0%) ### Most mentioned pros - What I appreciate most about using Gradelink is the outstanding customer support I receive. Whenever I am unsure how to complete a task or run into an issue, [sensitive content hidden] on Gradlink's support staff is incredibly helpful in troubleshooting the issue and responds quickly to my concerns. - I especially value the progress report feature because it helps me support students more consistently and gives families a clear picture of student performance. While I would love to see more Google Drive integration and more flexibility with links in emails, Gradelink has been a reliable and practical tool for managing my class. - 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. ### Most mentioned cons - I also do not like that certain reports can not be run easily on my end, including when someone fills out an enrollment form and selects something that says "i have an allergy and then lists the allergy", i should be able to pull a report that covers all students with their listed allergies with what parents have written in this space, along with other written reponses. - 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. - Additionally, schools with more complex needs may find the platform lacking in advanced features, integrations, and reporting capabilities compared to larger, enterprise-level systems. ## Gradelink customer reviews Showing reviews 1-25 of 735 (page 1). ### Exceptional Support and Great Customization - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: less than 1 year · daily - Reviewed: October 2026 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

Replied June 2026 --- ### What is in Gradelink that can help your students, families, and staff? - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Religious Institutions - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: 3-5 years · daily - Reviewed: April 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. My experience with Gradelink has been one of appreciation for such an intuitive and thorough means of having student files. I appreciate being able to communicate with all of the students and their parents within the Communication means, for it serves as great reminders to hit all deadlines, whether special events, or reminding parents about State Testing. Gradelink includes a picture for a quick reference, an academic picture for staff and parents to utilize and peruse, and I would highly recommend Gradelink to anyone not currently using it. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It is quick and easy to upload new students, with areas for all student and family information. I appreciated being able to include a plethora of information for the RCS staff, so everyone could have all needed information in a timely and organized way. #### Cons A helpful feature that would be nice when uploading information for students would be to consider having any duplicated information, such as the primary family contact information (phone number, email address) on the first page, prepopulate in other places, like the contact information within the contact file information (where the address and type of relationship information is entered), within a student's Gradelink file. If one is putting any information within Gradelink, any prepopulation of any other fields asking the same information would be appreciated. #### Vendor response Thank you for your thoughtful feedback, Tina! We truly appreciate your input and are honored by your recommendation! Replied May 2026 --- ### Gradelink with ease! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Primary/ Secondary Education - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: 3-5 years · daily - Reviewed: April 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I love gradelink. I think it has some really great features that help make putting in grades, communicating with families, and grabbing information on students easy and convenient. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros It's convivence and easy navigation are two things that stick out to me the most. I love the communication tab that allows me to reach out to families. #### Cons I'm not a fan of the section for lesson plans. This feels difficult when I've attempted to lesson plan in the past. #### Vendor response We love that you love Gradelink, Brooke! There’s no charge for support, so please feel free to reach out to your support rep if you’d like any help with lesson plans. Replied April 2026 --- ### Customer Service - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: 3-5 years · daily - Reviewed: June 2023 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered Happy with my experience. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 3/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Product is easy to use. Like the reports that are available. #### Cons Wish the report card system could be easier to use. --- ### Great One Stop Shop for Schools - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: 3-5 years · daily - Reviewed: April 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. 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 - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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. #### 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 --- ### Makes generating transcripts a dream! Friendly customer service. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: 3-5 years · daily - Reviewed: July 2022 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. 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 - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### 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. --- ### An Overall Great Platform for School Reporting - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: 1-3 years · weekly - Reviewed: April 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. 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 - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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. #### 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 --- ### We Love Gradelink - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: 3-5 years · daily - Reviewed: April 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. 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 - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### 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 #### 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 --- ### Grading, reports, student/staff info is a breeze! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: 3-5 years · daily - Reviewed: April 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### 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. #### 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 --- ### A Perfect, Simple School Management Program - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 51-200 employees - Product usage: 3-5 years · daily - Reviewed: April 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. 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 - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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. #### 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 --- ### Coordinating everything with Gradelink! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: 3-5 years · daily - Reviewed: April 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. 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 - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### 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. #### 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 --- ### Super helpful and straightforward! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Primary/ Secondary Education - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: 1-3 years · daily - Reviewed: April 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I really like the program. It is helpful and straightforward. It makes things really easy especially to do with entering grades, handling the weight of grades, and communicating with parents. I have no major complaints! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I love the SmartSend feature! It is so helpful to be able to send messages to specific groups of parents, schedule messages, and such. It is also very straightforward and easy to use. I also love the grading features, again all very straightforward and easy to use. It makes grading and communicating so much less stressful! #### Cons I don't like how Gradelink times out frequently. I would prefer if there was a way to decide how long you wanted to stay signed in until it signs you out. Sometimes I come back to my computer and have to log in again because I have been teaching a lesson and then I lose my spot where I was and have to reload to the correct subject and entering grades or such. I have also noticed it is sometimes not possible or just difficult to create a list of certain combinations of students. For example, the names of all the girls, the names of all the boys, the names of all the students and their parents emails, etc. I don't know if there is a way to make it easy to choose the combination of lists that you want and then just have a copy of that. #### Vendor response We’re thrilled that you find Gradelink so enjoyable to use, Elyse! We understand how getting signed out can be frustrating. The time-out period can be adjusted by your Gradelink admin in the security settings. Replied May 2026 --- ### Great and Consistent Product - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: 3-5 years · daily - Reviewed: April 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

The YouTube videos are helpful. The parents and students can look up grades readily. We are a poor school and it is worth the money. #### Cons When Gradelink is down, it makes life so difficult but customer service is responsive to the challenges. They respond quickly and fix things, even special requests are not a problem. #### Vendor response Wow! We love that you’ve been with us for 10 years, Sister Louise! We look forward to serving your school for another 10 years—and beyond. Replied May 2026 --- ### Two Thumbs Up for Gradelink - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: 3-5 years · daily - Reviewed: April 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. My overall experience with Gradelink has been fantastic! There are numerous tools available that, as a small school, we haven't fully utilized yet. I hope to eventually transition everything to a digital format. I've consistently received assistance from the Gradelink help center, and the parent portal is also very user-friendly. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros What I appreciate most about Gradelink is its user-friendly design. As a lead teacher, I oversee the training and support of my fellow educators on Gradelink. The feedback from teachers is consistently positive regarding the Lesson Plans and the Gradesheet features. I particularly enjoy the ability to save and duplicate Lesson Plans. Transitioning to digital Report Cards has significantly saved us time. Overall, Gradelink proves to be an excellent platform for our school. #### Cons The one aspect I find less appealing is the State Standards. It would be beneficial to have access to all State standards within the lesson plan section. I've noticed that several standards are missing, and it would be great to access them on our end. Perhaps there is a way to do this, but I have yet to find out. #### Vendor response It’s wonderful that your experience has been fantastic, Eva! We love that you and your team are getting so much out of using Gradelink. For assistance with state standards, please talk with your support rep. We’re always happy to help. Replied May 2026 --- ### Love Gradelink! - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Industry: Education Management - Company size: 11-50 employees - Product usage: 3-5 years · daily - Reviewed: April 2026 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. Very positive experience overall! Simple to use and customize and as long as you log out regularly, pretty reliable! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Great access to student information when i need it! Easy to findninformation and the system is easy to navigate. Adding assignments and grading is super simple. Lesson planning is very customizable depending on what your specific school requires and what your personal needs are! #### Cons Sometimes, i will get logged out because of a timeline, but it doesnt always tell you, and you end up losing whatever you were working on. #### Vendor response It’s great to know you find Gradelink so easy to use, Gwen! We understand getting timed out can be annoying; however, it’s one of the security measures we use to keep your school’s data safe. The timing can be adjusted by your school’s Gradelink administrator, so you may want to talk with them about lengthening it if it’s too short.

My overall experience with Gradelink has been very positive. It is user-friendly and makes classroom management, grading, assignment creation, and parent communication much more efficient. I especially value the progress report feature because it helps me support students more consistently and gives families a clear picture of student performance. While I would love to see more Google Drive integration and more flexibility with links in emails, Gradelink has been a reliable and practical tool for managing my class. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Gradelink is an overall very easy-to-use classroom management system. I appreciate how simple it is to create assignments, enter grades, and keep student progress organized. I especially like that I can generate progress reports to help students and families stay on track. The Smart Send option is also very helpful for communication. I also appreciate the flexibility of entering grades as points, letter grades, or percentages, depending on the needs of the class. #### Cons One limitation is that attachments cannot be added directly from Google Drive. I have to download the file first, convert or save it as a PDF, and then upload it separately, which adds extra steps. I also wish emails allowed more than one link, since teachers often need to share multiple resources with students or parents at the same time. #### Vendor response We love hearing that you are using Gradelink in so many ways to work more efficiently, Anna! SmartSend emails will accommodate multiple links and attachments, so please reach out to your Gradelink support rep to get that resolved.

Gradelink is great for keeping records and sharing those with families. Currently it is better for in house use. It could be improved for better immediate communication with family. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 4/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros I like that Gradelink is comprehensive in dealing academic records and classroom management. I, also, enjoy the ability to run reports and the fact that it is user friendly. It makes syncing grades from Google Classroom easy as well. #### Cons I wish messaging parents was a little easier and had a better place in the app. The communications go to user emails rather than an app notification. #### Vendor response Thank you for your input, Sunshine! If you have ideas for improvements you’d like to see, please share them with your support rep. We’d love to hear them.

Overall, it is a pretty great experience. It is easy to navigate and use. I would recommend it to schools and parents. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros That you can email parents directly from Gradelink. I like all of the different lists that it generates like birthdays. I like that parents are able to update their information directly onto Gradelink. #### Cons I wish that I were able to import and export grades to Schoology. I wish that we could put our vacation and days off directly into Gradelink, and it would automatically put them into the attendance. I would like it to say the difference between early leave and 1/2 dismissal, and the same with the morning absence and tardy. I wish that I could copy the grades and the assignments for one class to another. #### Vendor response Thank you for your honest feedback, Aubrey. The good news is some of your wishes have already come true! Designations for different types of absences can be added by your school’s Gradelink administrator. And assignments can be copied and even shared with other teachers. To learn how, please click on the question mark icon at the top of the screen in Gradelink to access the help website.
