Pros

“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. ”

Tina G.

Director of Admissions and Development

“We greatly appreciate the online enrollment option and the communication tools to do automated phone calls, texts, and emails.”

Melissa B.

Superintendent

“We use it for everything in the school - communications, attendance and grades, lunch billing, discipline, lesson plans, enrollment, and more!”

Sheila C.

Director of Development

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.”

Melissa K.

Director of Applications

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

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.”

Ellen S.

Counselor FACTS Specialist

Cons

“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.”

Amy D.

Vice Principal

“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.”

Tiffany M.

First Grade Teacher

“The APP is not great and I do get some parent feedback on not liking how the app looks and is not super useable on their phones, specifically the glitching and finding grades, assignments, and other features, including the bill pay and so forth.”

Abby R.

Principal

Cons

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

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”

Fitzgerald W.

your mom

“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.”

Simon S.

Director of Technology
