Private Schools, Charter Schools, Special Needs Schools, Trade Schools, Preschool, K-12, Public Schools, College, Adult Education - PraxiSchool offers Comprehensive Management Solutions.
Veracross is designed to meet the unique needs of Private and Independent K-12 schools around the world.
It is very easy to use, as well as the support that is given to have a better understanding of it. The support system is great as well, if help is needed there are various options.
The site freezes if I leave the web page open, forcing me to log in and out every time that I need to use it. As a teacher with limited time for admin during school hours this is very frustrating.
Support is fantastic and so is the price. Both parents and the school loves having one database to which everyone has access.
The attendance function is a little difficult confusing.
And one of the most important components of Praxi is the customer service which is friendly, prompt and assists with individual school particulars to make Praxi work best for the consumer.
I'd be scared to approach this company until they seriously overhaul their software interface or at the very least train more staff to support their current client base.
Ed and his staff have and are doing a wonderful job with their tech support. They are always there willing and able to help at any time.
I've had other companies try to sell me their product, but I have no intention of leaving Praxi because this system manages everything we need in our school office.
I am a true fan of Veracross, I've worked with a lot of accounting software in my 4 decades of work. And I found Veracross so user friendly.
I suspect a non-accountant designed this part of the software and is why the flow of information is so poorly executed.
Veracross is a great product. I would recommend it to others in the nonprofit education arena.
Accounting Software User - Absolutely horrible and completely inflexible software.
They also excel at understanding the needs of schools and how best to integrate data across departments and divisions.
This is confusing because if you are running reports under the Development module but your search field you selected is Adminission, then the result may be different.
Veracross has a clean look that is easy to navigate and combine many features.
Limited customization, very fews things are automated (workaround mostly needed).
Michael: My name is Michael. I am the CEO of a private school network, and we rate PraxiSchool at a 5. We actually didn't have a product before PraxiSchool. We just opened this year, and so we were seeking out a student information system. We looked at several different models, and Praxi was an all-in one school option for us that allowed us to have income generating, contact tracing, and all of the other student information system pieces that we needed to be able to report to state. And so they were the option that we chose to go with. We chose PraxiSchool because the cost was in the range that we were looking for. It was actually a lot cheaper than what we expected, and it had an all in one platform that also allowed us to have document storage. We did not want to be a school that had documents on hand. So what we did when parents would bring us documentation is that we would scan it immediately and hand it back to the parent and PraxiSchool allowed us that option. It also had all of the things that we were looking for, like the communication tools for tracking attendance, and just the ways in which it made it very easy to communicate with our families. So, Praxi was the all in one that we were seeking. And like I said, the price was great. The startup for Praxi was very easy. We were assigned a startup team who met with us and our team and really walked us through, had several virtual trainings that we attended that were one-on-one trainings. They were really directed to us and for us. They had collected a lot of information about our school at the beginning, and so they built everything around our needs. And so the training was great. And then their resource department, as we implemented PraxiSchool for the first time, you're going to run into difficulties and they were great and fast in their response. Always wonderful to get online one-on-one with you and solve the problem. So, my advice for anybody thinking about PraxiSchool is don't take too long to think about it. It really is an all-in-one platform that's great, cost-effective, and delivers on all of the pieces that a school is looking for. I would just recommend that as you're diving in, get as many people involved, including the teachers, in the implementation and the beginning training and all. It's just great to have them very knowledgeable from the beginning, but again, even if they're not, it's a very user-friendly platform that makes sense to anybody. And so, just don't hesitate. Go for it.
