Gradelink Pricing

The ease of getting anywhere. It always makes sense. The tabs are very user friendly. Love the news page! Tons of help videos if needed. I feel the cost is more than reasonable. I had researched a while before I found them. The cost anywhere else was too much for a small private school. Gradelink was so helpful even in the financial as I was trying to convince my superiors that this what we needed to do. Now they have an app for our families and students!!!! LOVE. Excited to share.

I can't say I have any. I love the app. Hoping the calendar can go on there as well. :-)

Wow, thanks a million for such an encouraging review, Misty! We work hard to keep our schools happy, so it's rewarding to hear how well Gradelink is working for Seymour Christian Academy. And we're glad you love the app; we have some more good stuff coming, so stay tuned!

I chose Gradelink for our school because the basic system had so many components. Other SIS's I researched charged per component. Smartsend Pro makes communication easy. We added the online payment integration for incidentals. Gradelink allows for the flexibility to fit the needs of my school.

Adding on or starting up a new feature and/or personaliztion of the product can sometimes be time consuming.

Thank you for choosing Gradelink, Nancy! It's rewarding to know that you've found some much value in it.

The software is fully featured, and offers a lot of bells-and-whistles within the basic package (attendance, grades, email messaging, discipline, GPA, reports, report-cards generation, contact info, emergency info, medical records info etc.). For a moderate price, you can add a few more features (e.g. unlimited text messaging, parent/student registration etc). The platform is very intuitive and allows...

The overall aspect is outdated, the colors are bleak, the whole system looks old school. Also, it behaves weirdly when averaging periods and grades (sometimes), you don't know exactly how it's done.

We've worked hard to make Gradelink as useful as possible, so it's gratifying to see how much your school community is accomplishing with it, Laurentiu! An update of the interface is on our to-do list, so stay tuned. And, if you haven't already, please talk with your support rep about averaging periods and grades so we get that figured out.

I needed a program that would be easy to implement, easy to use, and affordable. After reviewing a number of SIS programs, Gradelink met the needs of the school. Having the program for five years I have found new staff members are able to jump in quickly, parents love the ease of communication and availability of attendance, grades, and comments concerning their children. We also use the "news" page to keep parents up to date with reminders and current events. I use the program for snow cancellation and delays, as well as blast informational emails to our community, including alumni.

There are still a couple of pieces of information that take me time to access, including a quick attendance report on an individual student or a readable transcript that is inclusive of attendance, but a part of that might be my lack of knowledge. Customer service has been excellent in helping us customize report cards, something we could not do independently. Some of the staff is still reluctant to use the planning program to its full capacity, I'm not sure if there is an overarching reason or merely a comfortability learning curve.

We love hearing how well Gradelink fits your needs, Barbara, so thanks for sharing! We're always happy to help and there's no charge for training and support so please contact your support rep for assistance on anything from lesson plans to attendance reports. Or click on the question mark icon at the top of the screen in Gradelink for tons of invaluable information, including articles, screenshots and videos.

Gradelink has been user friendly and provides us with all that we need to store our student information and communicate with our families at a reasonable price. The customer service has been great. It is easy for us to call and get help if we get confused or don't understand an aspect of the program. We do not need to set aside days to do teacher training. The program is simple enough that brief training sessions and video links are all we need to train new teachers. Ease of enrollment and re-enrollment are nice as well.

At times, I would like more features, such as digital sign in for our preschool and aftercare. They have a program for that, but it is not what we need, so we will wait patiently for the program to be perfected! :) When parents enroll, we have found that they can skip certain answers by just putting in a space or a letter, for example. We would like for that feature to some how be fixed.

Thank you for a great review, Debbie! We always appreciate feedback from our schools to let us know what's working well and what could use improvement.

I love the ease of use, functionality, and cost of this software. However the part I like MOST is the customer service. Whenever we have a question or issue, Gradelink customer service/technical support representatives are helpful and friendly.

The only part of Gradelink that I don't love is the lesson planning feature. It is sufficient, and I could easily get by using that module. However, I prefer the flexibility of another lesson planning product.

You made the support team's day, Aimee! We're always looking for ways to improve Gradelink, so please send a note to service@gradelink.com to let us know what changes you'd like to see in lesson plans.

Ease of use. Low cost. Great customer service.

It's very basic. Not very fancy with the graphics or reporting features.

We're glad you find Gradelink easy to use, Samantha! We want to make sure you're getting the most out of Gradelink, so please talk with your support rep about reports or other features you'd like to know more about. Plus, clicking on the question mark icon at the top of the screen in Gradelink will take you to the help site with tons of useful articles and videos.

Gradelink has made it much easier for our staff and parents to keep track of our students' progress academically. I appreciate that I receive a copy of every initial email that goes out so that I am better aware of any potential issues. Grading parameters are easy to set up. We create individual schedules for our students as well.

What can be a bit time consuming is posting daily assignments. We also have to go into every individual account to click on the indicator for our parents to receive low grade alerts. As it is now, we would have to assume that parents would choose that option. Since we want to make sure our parents are notified whenever a student has a low grade, we must go into every student's account and click on that notifier. It would be great if Admins could do that with one click for the student body. We also use Gradelink for our billing. While paying is relatively simple for our parents, understanding the balance sheet is not. Also, for some reason, even when a parent has paid a balance in full, it will still "look" like they have a balance.

Good news, Sandra: the new Default Grade Alerts setting will make things easier for you! To learn how to use it, just click on the question mark icon at the top of the screen or contact your support rep and they'll be happy to walk you through it.

I like how customizable this program is. We are a tiny school that is self-paced and year-round. It seemed like we could not find a product that checked all of our boxes.

I wish that users could have multiple roles. I have a teacher who is also an administrator. We had to create two accounts for him.

We are honored that you chose Gradelink as your SIS, Samantha! We look forward to working with you for years to come.

Gradelink provides me the opportunity to manage the daily data of the school program which I supervise. Everything that I need to do in my position, including attendance, grades, class listings, and report cards, is provided within the realm of this program.

I wish that Gradelink provided 24/7 support services. As I am located on the East Coast and Gradelink is located on the West Coast, there is a 3 hour time difference between my location and Gradelink's offices. Gradelink does offer customer support each morning beginning at 6:30 AM Pacific time. However, that means that I have to wait until 9:30 AM EDT until I can call for support. Many times, I cannot get an answer, which means that I have to leave a message with the hope of a return call. I think, then, that the one area that Gradelink needs to work on is the providing better technical support.

It's rewarding to hear that your experience with Gradelink has been so good, Jay! We understand the time difference can be frustrating. Help is always available on the support website. Just click on the question mark icon at the top of the screen in Gradelink to search a wealth of information on everything from attendance to lesson plans to transcripts.

Easy to use was important for us. Also we want to access this info from home.

Free text services are important and will add value.

Thank you, Mario! Like you, many of our schools are enjoying the ability to work from home now more than ever. We wish we could offer text messaging for free but there are additional costs on our end.

I like that the platform is easy to use. I am able to keep all my grades in one place and assign a value to each section.I like that emails send are stored for future review.

The switch between entering in new assignments is not easy. Programs we have used in the past made it easy to enter in new assignments quickly. The use of the planning component is not easy.

Although it's good that you find Gradelink ease to use, we're sorry you're a bit frustrated with assignments, Christine. You may find the information on the help website useful. This link will take you a few articles on working with assignments: bit.ly/2PB1Tob. If you'd like additional assistance, there's no charge for support, so please contact us any time and we'll be happy to help!

One of the things I appreciate most about Gradelink SIS is it's customer service! Whenever I run into trouble they're always there to help point me in the right direction or fix the problem...though it's most often the former!

There are some reporting features and the ability to email a single financial statement without downloading first that would be helpful, but the feature I like least is the teacher/school news pages. It would be helpful if it had more formatting capabilities with photos, shapes and text boxes.

We really appreciate your feedback, Christine! Input from our customers is a vital part of our ongoing product development. Please look at the list at gradelink.com/features to see what's available to you already. If there are additional tools you'd like to see, please let us know we're continually working on ways to make Gradelink even more useful.

They have the best tech support of any program I have used. The setup and installation were also really easy with their help. The training video and help section are excellent. It is very user friendly and affordable for small schools. Notable: Teacher Pages which have been very Covid Friendly, great report section and parent friendly app. We really like the ease of keeping track of service hours.

The are constantly improving. One of my recent complaints was in regards to Google Classroom integration, but they fixed that. Next looking forward to the calendar integration. I am still not crazy about their Lesson Plan section for elementary, but that is an easy workaround. It is great for older grade classes though.

Taking care of our schools is our top priority so we truly appreciate your feedback, Loraine! And we're pleased to know Gradelink is working so much better for you than the system you used before.

Where do I begin? Tracking student records and achievements. Recording attendance. Compiling family information in one conveniently accessible location. Transcript issuance. I really like that beginning in Fall 2021 it appears my school will begin to do student contracts through Gradelink SIS (which I used at a previous school). You talk about a time and paper saver!

The only con I can truly think about is the monthly maintenance cost, but for the massive amount of service and ease of student/family tracking, I completely get it. And the cost is not that out-of-range; I am reaching for a negative comment here.

Wow, thank you for such a glowing review, David! And thank you for sharing so many ways your school is benefitting from using Gradelink.

I like how it helps me keep in touch with parents about their children's progress, behaviour, ect... I like how it saves time automatically doing tasks that teachers like me normally take forever to complete manually. I like how friendly and reliable the costumer service is. It makes it easier for me to manage my online students informations and details.

I don't like the fact that i cannot send multiple files at once. It can be a little pricey for low-fund teachers.

Thank you for sharing some of the ways you're using Gradelink to get more done in less time, Abdelkadir!

EVERYTHING!!! I'm able to retrieve reports at the push of a button.

So far on the discipline side, I want to be able to determine when my incident types are occurring throughout the day so that I can utilize my intervention team and plan.

We're thrilled Gradelink is working so well for you and your staff, Pat!

It's ease of use and powerful application.

It doesn't have a teacher app. I would also like to be able to enter value-free data that's only applicable to the teacher.

It's rewarding to hear how well Gradelink is working for you, Stephen! By the way, we are planning an app for teachers, although we don't have a release date at this point.

Easy transition, user friendly for admins, teachers, and parents. Great customer service! Easy to post grades and report cards. Love enrollme!

They are on the west coast, I'm on the east coast and I have to wait until 11am to call customer service. I would like to be able to add "how many days" for Pre-K in the Enrollme module without a cost.

Thank you for sharing the things you enjoy about Gradelink, Roxanne!

The design of the product makes it easy to learn and use. The Gradelink team is super responsive both when you reach out, and they take customer suggestions for added funtionality seriously. Gradelink upgrades its product regularly with useful features. What you get for their price point cannot be beat by other SIMS products. I had a school full of reluctant users when we adopted Gradelink, and now I have a school full of rabid fans!

I cannot think of a single thing. Even their online help is good, and I am NOT a fan of most online help areas!

Wow, Linda, thank you for telling us how much everybody at Sacred Hearts School is enjoying Gradelink!

The software is web based and accessible from any computer. It is very user friendly and easy to use. The customer service from Gradelink is outstanding. Whenever we've had any questions, problems or issues, they've been very quick and responsive to get them resolved. They are great to work with!

No cons were added to this review

You certainly put a smile on our faces with your review, Lisa! Thank you for sharing a bit about your experience with Gradelink. We look forward to many more years with Trinity Lutheran School.

The program is very easy to use. It provides a platform for parents to easily access students grades and then communicates with the teacher if they want to follow up on an assessment. Parents know what is the value of an assessment and when they are scheduled.

I am not sure if this is possible, but I would like a way to average say quizzes to create 1 major assessment grade. I know I can weigh them less, but parents and students don't always understand the weighting process and if conditions change during the semester, it is difficult to re-do the process.

We're glad to hear that Gradelink is helping so much with communication with parents, Kate! As for averaging quizzes, please talk to your support rep and we'll see what we can do.

Thank you so much for taking the time to write such an in-depth and encouraging review, Kevin! Knowing that Gradelink is working so well for everybody at Stoneybrooke brings us great satisfaction. We promise to keep doing our best to support our schools.

This software makes it SO easy to enter student grades, communicate with parents, and use the lesson planning feature!

I have yet to discover anything that we don't like!

Thank you, Mandy! It's so rewarding for us to hear that Gradelink is doing what we designed it to do make things easier for educators.
