Product Review of FACTS Grant & Aid Assessment

Spread the love

This software is designed to integrate school administrators, educators, and families. Also, it allows administrators to consolidate learner information and activity with a single, service-oriented provider. Another of its features is the comprehensive donation platform, which organizes donor information and provides access to data analysis and reporting.

Website: https://factsmgt.com/

What Users Love About the App

“Overall, my kids information was available and easy to access. My kid’s teachers were accessible.”

“I like most that it’s cloud based, so administration can access from anywhere on or away from campus.”

“It’s a great product that gets the job done for the classroom.”

“My overall experience has been a positive one. I have used this software in a couple of schools I’ve taught in. I enjoy using it and would recommend it to any fellow teachers as well as any future schools.”

“FACTS is an affordable SIS. The system maintains all of our records and has capability for customization within reports such as building your own report card. FACTS is always improving.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“You didn’t know your staff would go to the trouble to upload something for just 24 hours, but that is what Renweb thinks, and refuses to change. Their default should be a one week date range.”

“This is the worst program I have experienced since my son started school… there is always a glitch going on and the tech support is very slow at fixing problems. Some days it recognizes me.”

“The thing I really hate is when you go to a classroom and it pops up “communication has moved.”

“For example, there is no way to record/notify parents of missing assignments when using standards based grading in FACTS.”

“Parts of the software were a little clunky to use. With as busy as we are as a small school, we need software that can be picked up pretty intuitively.”

About Us

Since technology is not going anywhere and does more good than harm, adapting is the best course of action. That is where The Tech Edvocate comes in. We plan to cover the PreK-12 and Higher Education EdTech sectors and provide our readers with the latest news and opinion on the subject. From time to time, I will invite other voices to weigh in on important issues in EdTech. We hope to provide a well-rounded, multi-faceted look at the past, present, the future of EdTech in the US and internationally.

We started this journey back in June 2016, and we plan to continue it for many more years to come. I hope that you will join us in this discussion of the past, present and future of EdTech and lend your own insight to the issues that are discussed.
