Pros
Over all it has been very positive. The company provides many training opportunities, from phone and website help, to online and in person training.
I like their wonderful customer service and that they they are adding new features and services.
The product works well - we have been using it for decades. As with most software, greater flexibility and power means more options, and a greater need for training.
Cons
The only frustrating aspect of Powerschool seemed to be the timing of the updates.
The only con is it can be difficult to get information updated as if parents/students do not know their account info they must go through the site admin which can delay information updates.
Lastly, they have an Attendance feature that allows you to group separate classes into one session, but that feature is MISSING for grades.
