“Also, I like that the school nurse is able to upload individualized health care plans to Alma, making it simple to pass along pertinent health information for those who need to know this.”
KC

Kathleen C.

School Nurse

Pros

“Ease of use for parents and teachers; customizable fields; multiple grade scales to accommodate advanced and honors courses; easy report card process; allows different gradebook types for different grade levels; Premier Integration gives our families one place to go.”
MK

Director of Applications

“The platform effectively manages tuition, including Grant & Aid, while conveniently housing medical and classroom information all in one place.”
CC

Carla C.

Director of Advancement and Admissions

“I have been working in schools using FACTS for 9 years and every year I find more and more short cuts to save time, but also to save vital information that I can access in a moment.”
ES

Ellen S.

Counselor FACTS Specialist

Cons

“I dont like how the enrollment data is tranferred onto the student profile . If a parent lists a child has asthma , allergies etc it should be reflected on the student profile .”
CD

Catherine D.

Operations Manager

“The only thing I would say I least liked was that it was not compariable to the system that was use for reporting to our district office.”
AB

Aja B.

Coordinator of Schools Operations

“Missing grade level filter in the school directory and notifications when someone submits an Alma Start form.”
AD

Amy D.

Supervisor of Information Technology Systems

Cons

“The Reports are my only real complaint, that and not having two-way communication with students and parents as an option.”
RS

Rebekah S.

Administrative Director

“It was hard to log in, and there was nothing to do about it but ask the tech guy to change your password”
FW

“It isn't the most robust system so if you are a school that needs custom work done on transcripts, etc., the FACTS may not be the best fit.”
