Hero - 2025 Pricing, Features, Reviews & Alternatives

What is Hero?

Hero is a student behavior management software designed to help K-12 schools track and manage both positive and negative student behavior. With reinforcement, redirection and communication tools, Hero enables users to manage classroom activity, referrals and tardiness as well as track incidents and student behavior. Native mobile apps for iOS and Android aim to keep parents, teachers and students on the same page.

Users can collect, record and analyze essential student data with points tracking technology and custom reports. Hero’s data reporting allows users to notice positive behavior trends and reward students for their behavior. With classroom management capabilities, users can track classroom activity and participation, receive at-a-glance behavior overviews and implement and edit school-wide policies.

Hero provides a simple referral workflow, enabling users to approve, reject or request more information for teacher-submitted referrals. Student Information System (SIS) integration with applications such as PowerSchool allows users to share and analyze referral data. Users can track any major incidents at school such as disruptive behavior, bullying or vandalism. Hero also automates minor discipline and tardiness management as users can scan and print passes for tardy students.

Hero’s attendance tracking technology enables users to maintain a complete digital record of student attendance at any event, from school dances to field trips and sporting events. Users can manage events easily with a one step student check-in process and pop-up alerts. Alerts notify users when a student has unserved detentions and allows users to control who has access to events.
