9 reviewers had the following to say about MySchool's features:
I would strongly recomment this system to any school that is looking for a cost-effective and complete management system.
Pros
The main advantage is the centralised data that is available for all management needs including students and parents personal data, subjects and courses, attendance, disciplinary issues, VLE, fee management, transport info and time-tabling.
Cons
Have not found any yet.
Rating breakdown
This software has made attendance simple and made getting student and teacher information very fast.
For a school looking for a very competitve solution for information management that is likely to be used and to make a real difference, then this is the right choice.
Pros
In a few weeks we have already seen an improvement in pupil and teacher performance. The interface for parents and pupils is attractive and easy to follow.
Cons
Administrator can enter grades for technophobic staff but cannot, as far as I can see, correct grades that have already been entered by others. This is the only (fairly minor) problem we have encountered.
Rating breakdown
Chiswick House School and St Martin¿s College are the largest independent educational establishments in Malta offering a full educational programme to students aged between two and a half and eighteen years.
The benefits are that the teacher's can learn this software quickly and easily. Each year we have new staff and they like the system.
Pros
This program is easy to use and makes keeping school documents such as report cards and transcripts up to date and accessible.
Cons
We have changed report cards, transcripts, courses etc. and anytime we run into an issue it is solved.

Helps us manage our small private school, from Finance to Report Cards and with a lot more to leverage still.
Pros
It took only minutes to configure and was robust enough to accommodate our needs. The support is excellent; I work in the IT field and can say with confidence that in my experience the support/configuration assistance was readily available and coming from staff that fully understood the software.
Cons
Having the ability to modify/personalize the reports would be a nice feature that does not exist today. ( That I am aware of)

Allowing us to store all our contacts in one place was a major selling feature.
Pros
MySchool meets our needs as an independent school in that it allows us to track all our current students and parents but also other people connected with our school; such as alumni, former parents, donors etc.
Cons
Nothing major. I'm not that familiar with the teacher grade book side of things; mostly the administrative side.

As a school based in the EU, we were looking for an EU-hosted solution to comply with data protection legislation, and again MySchool delivered the necessary assurances and safeguards.¿
