Way To Go, SchoolCues!

Our school family LOVES SchoolCues (administrator, teachers, parents alike)... THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for bringing us what we could never have afforded in such a professional, intuitive, and comprehensive platform. The burden of all the administrative impacts of our parts in this equation has decreased significantly, and we're actually getting more useful and more accurate data than ever before!

PROS

I love the comprehensive nature of SchoolCues and the possibilities this program offers to us as a small school that has the same administrative burdens that a larger school has. You've managed to collect all the functions that we need to manage our school effectively in one web-based program with the potential to automate even more tasks than we expected! In addition, the "small business" model you utilize makes customers feel like they have input into the program itself... the support teams are very helpful and responsive, and when improvements are recommended, they are seriously considered. We also like that minor bug fixes and enhancements are continually released instead of being held for major releases/upgrades.

CONS

Under "Health Information", we lack the ability to list multiple, specific individual physical, medical, and mental conditions for our students - critical pieces of information for our population, and we thought that would be very helpful to typical schools as well. When I brought this to the attention of the SchoolCues development team, they listened carefully and jumped on my suggestions and are in the process of developing an excellent solution to what was missing. So excited to see how it turns out!

Reasons for switching to SchoolCues

It just didn't satisfy our needs as our population grew - provided no automation to anything; collecting and maintaining student information was a wholly manual process that was no longer feasible as our enrollment grew.

Great software for small Montessori schools!

Our experience has been so positive with SchoolCues! Everyone is very helpful and kind, and support issues are generally resolved in a timely manner. We appreciate that SchoolCues helps us maintain connectivity between our classrooms and our families.

PROS

We love that this product offers everything we need and nothing we don't. We appreciate that we can add functionality as our school grows. The software was relatively easy to implement and has been easy to learn and navigate.

CONS

Sometimes class updates are difficult to save or format. Our teachers who are less comfortable with technology struggle a bit, but do so with all technology applications. We wish there was more functionality through the Admin/Teacher app.

Reason for choosing SchoolCues

Functionality, ease of use, and price.

Reasons for switching to SchoolCues

RenWeb was way more than we needed, very difficult to navigate and manage, and cost significantly more.

Vendor Response

Thank you for your very kind feedback Julie! We will take your feedback into consideration :)

Unified system for a small school

Overall, SchoolCues has been a great benefit and a good value for the price.

PROS

As a small school just starting up in the last few years, we relied on several different free or paid services for record-keeping, communications, and payments. SchoolCues has allowed us to replace almost all of that with a single portal for staff, teachers, and parents. The biggest benefit has been streamlining and simplifying our admissions process, student records, and collection of tuition and fees.

CONS

The user interface and the way some of the features work is not always very intuitive, and it took some time to figure out how to adapt the enrollment contracts and payments to fit our processes and needs.

Constant Improvement

Implementation was very easy and learning the program has been quick.

PROS

Schoolcues is perfectly positioned to help the small school. I really appreciate how the team there are consistently asking for feedback and improving the product.

CONS

Some features cover the basics but need a few more bells and whistles. But what I do appreciate is that I am confident that Schoolcues is going to do the work to improve the experience. This makes them a great partner for the long haul.

Reason for choosing SchoolCues

It does everything for a good price.

Reasons for switching to SchoolCues

I needed someone that was a better fit for a small school.
