PowerSchool Overview. The award-winning, easy-to-use student information system.

Real-time data access for key decisions

Quick and easy access to student performance data is critical for making timely and strategic decisions for your district. But access alone isn't enough. You may also want to analyze your data from various perspectives, find patterns in the data, and see the "big picture" across teachers, schools, grade levels, standards achievement, and demographic patterns.

Unprecedented Dashboard View

When paired with Pearson Inform, a data analysis and decision support tool, PowerSchool offers comprehensive student performance analysis - giving you a dashboard view into student performance. This provides your district with information to accurately measure student progress and make informed decisions to improve district performance.

Make insight-driven decisions

PowerSchool helps to simplify complex student information allowing you to easily access critical student performance data. Its intuitive user interface makes it easy to get up and running quickly. Best of all, PowerSchool puts your data into the hands of the people that need to make decisions.

Use data in real-time

PowerSchool has been architected from the ground up as an adaptable web-based solution. Because all your data is stored in one centralized location, you can easily access it anywhere, anytime, using a standard web browser on either a Mac or PC. You’ll save time accessing data for No Child Left Behind (NCLB) reporting and other district and state reporting requirements. You can also generate attendance records, grade checks, report cards, transcripts, and form letters in just a few clicks. Plus, you can easily customize PowerSchool to meet your specific district information needs.

Share information seamlessly

As a SIF-compliant (Schools Interoperability Framework) application, PowerSchool is based on open standards that support safer, easier, and more seamless integration of data with other applications. This helps to improve efficiencies, enhance data accuracy and extend data-driven decision-making capabilities. You’re able to access the applications you need in one single, easy-to-use solution. You just enter data once in one application and PowerSchool automatically distributes the data to other applications.

Put data into the hands of people who need it

Because PowerSchool's gradebook is fully integrated into the student information system (SIS), teachers use it as a part of their daily teaching practice. This means the quality and quantity of data in the system is always relevant and timely. Anyone concerned about a student can get up-to-the-minute information and share it with others. And because all information is in one centralized database, teachers and staff can make decisions based on the "big picture."
