What Users Love About the App
“Setup was easy using the provided templates. Configuration was also relatively easy. We switched in the middle of the year and it was stressful, but we were able to accomplish it pretty quickly. The software is very user friendly and the support has been great.”
“The application provides communication between administrators, faculty, parents, and students. Parents can view real time grades and discipline events. It facilitates access to lesson plans, attendance, and student data.”
“I liked the ease of setting each class up, of inputting grades, and assignments. I liked how I could put the homework assignments and tests and quizzes for the parents to know when these were happening. It also lets the parents know current grades.”
“MySchoolWorx was very easy to use. I like that I could see everything (lesson plans, gradebook, attendance, calendar, and parent communication) in one program. The ability to create custom reports was a great feature. I was able to run a report and see who was missing assignments or who was below a certain grade average in a class. It also made communicating with parents much easier.”
“I appreciated the fact that it’s designed for ease of use. The teachers don’t have to try to find little buttons or links — it’s all on a super easy dashboard. I also appreciated the incredible customer service and tech support at School Worx.”
What Users Dislike About the App
“Most of the things that I do not like are cosmetic and do not affect the functionality of the software. I am the admin and also a teacher, so there are some things I cannot do like one or the other.”
“When writing a message, the program will time out. However, it doesn’t tell you, at times it acts like it is going to send the message. You don’t always know until it is too late.”
“There are some features lacking in reports. For instance, I am unable to run Honor Roll Reports for the Secondary School. Cannot archive messages into separate folders for future reference.”
“Parents seemed to have a bit of trouble understanding how to log in and navigate it. For me, I could have used more training about some of the features. Some I discovered as I used it, or other teachers would tell me and visa versus.”
“Generating reports is a bit complicated — certainly not as easy as everything else. Not sure why they can’t make it a little more user friendly.”
