### "Grateful for Gradelink"

April 20, 2026

5.0

Gradelink makes it easy to plan, take attendance, and enter assignments/grades. I also love how I am able to enter comments for all of the students that I teach.

Pros

I love how easy and user friendly Gradelink is for teachers. It is very easy to enter and locate assignments. I have used other platforms, but I love Gradelink because it is a one-stop shop for lesson plans. I used to have to use something separate for planning and that was so frustrating.

Cons

I have been using Gradelink for the last three years, and there is not one thing that I can honestly say that I like the least about Gradelink.

### "Teacher Page"

April 14, 2026

5.0

It is easy to use and I like that everything is in one place. I can do attendance, reports cards, teacher page, and communicate with my parents through my email.

Pros

I love that I can put my weekly emails on the Teacher page so parents can go back and look at that instead of trying to find it in an email that I sent. I feel like it is very helpful to me and the parents.

Cons

There isn't anything I don't like about Gradelink. Since I teach younger kids I do not know use some of the features.

### "Barnes Academy"

April 20, 2026

5.0

Well satisfied with the years we have used Gradelink. Our teachers have shared their satisfaction with the ease of use.

Pros

Teachers' ability to add assignments and grades. Progress reports and report cards. Adding discipline information. Producing transcripts Better price than other SIS options Quick responses to problems or questions

Cons

Need more information about identifying a student's discipline record. Would like the ability to dictate the information instead of typing.

### "Teacher’s Friend"

April 14, 2026

5.0

My overall experience has been that Gradelink is an effective time saving tool that supports a teacher’s busy schedule.

Pros

Gradelink is a great tool for managing daily classroom responsibilities. I love that it is easy to use which helps with putting in grades. It is also helpful when communicating with parents.

Cons

My least favorite thing is it is not as modern looking as maybe some newer systems. However, it gets the job done.

### "Over a decade of Use!"

April 20, 2026

5.0

We have been using Gradelink as our SIS for over a decade and really have no complaints. Support is very helpful and responsive when needed, and our families are comfortable with the program. We are very happy and will continue to utilize this service for our school!

Pros

Value, Support, Ease of Use. Gradelink is a straight forward SIS, with optional add-ons as needed. Our staff and family like the user experience, and Admin is very happy with value.

Cons

Honestly, it is exactly what we need. We did have to pay for the extra aspects as our program grew, but the cost is minimal.

### "I would definitely recommend. Great customer support! "

July 15, 2025

5.0

My overall experience has been great. We are a small school with many needs and gradelink has helped us to take our school to a new level. We are very satisfied with the customer support. I have talked to several representatives, one of them being Josue, who has helped me a couple of times; he has been a great help and has made the process super easy. All my experiences with the representatives have been good.

Pros

The customer support is great! I always have many questions and I get them answered! Whenever I don't get my call through, they follow up very quickly.

Cons

It doesn't have an app for a teacher login. The teachers often have commented how they which they could log in "easier" from their mobile devices.

### "The Small School's DREAM SIS"

June 10, 2025

5.0

Experience has been wonderful! Don't see us changing to another platform anytime soon! We've used others that were meant for bigger schools and they were too clunky. Gradelink meets our needs perfectly and when we ask for a new feature, its gets added.

Pros

It is simple, easy to use and it gets the job done for our small schools totaling less than 100 students combined. \[sensitive content hidden\] in Support is the best! No matter what the question I ask, she always answers in a very timely manner and solves the issue for me (mostly of my own doing).

Cons

What can I say...we don't really have any downsides. Every issue we have had gets resolved. Our only real regret about Gradelink is that we didn't get it sooner!!!!

### "Communication Pros & Cons"

April 15, 2026

4.0

Overall it's been positive. As a teacher, I enjoy the ease of communication. The site can be buggy at times, and difficult to navigate. If you click the wrong button, you may have trouble finding your way back. As a parent, I like the emails I receive from my child's teachers. I dislike that I cannot see who inputs incident or injury reports. I don't know who to address if I have a concern with whatever happened.

Pros

I like that I can communicate quickly with families. I also like that my school uses it to text parents reminders.

Cons

I don't like that teachers can't text parents. I also don't like that when an incident in reported in the injury section, parents cannot see who the child was referred to or by.

### "Gradelink review"

April 14, 2026

5.0

Gradelink has been a useful tool for sending out class emails and notifying parents by way of my teacher page.

Pros

User friendly, easy to input grades and get reports. The smartsend feature is my favorite for sending out parent emails.

Cons

I accidentally input grades for the wrong subject; it would have been nice to simply transfer that over to the correct class without having to do every single one manually again

### "Easy to use"

April 20, 2026

5.0

I've used Gradelink as both a teacher and as an administrator. I have definitely learned much as I have used it on both sides.

Pros

Gradelink is simple to use, and easy to understand. I like how everything is Gradelink can be interconnect.

Cons

I at times have a hard time when I want to print a report. Getting all the information to be formatted in an easy way doesn't always work.

### "Five stars for Gradelink"

April 21, 2026

5.0

Have truly appreciated the customer support by everyone at Gradelink. Whenever I had a concern or needed to know how to do something they were very helpful. Gradelink is a great student information system, and I would sincerely recommend it to other schools.

Pros

Ease of use for creating a student profile, updating attendance, ease of report writing, great customer support, and easier updates to Wisedata now with Ed Fi credentials in place. The price is right for our size parochial school. The security is managed well.

Cons

Initial change over to Ed Fi Credentials was a little bumpy, as it was new territory on Gradelink's end and on our end as a school. However, everything is working well now and the change over was really beneficial.

### "User Friendly"

April 14, 2026

5.0

My overall experience is very positive. I find Gradelink to be user friendly and very self explanatory.

Pros

I like that I can customize what things are added to my lesson plans and I like the ability to move or extend lessons to other days. I also like that I can add assignments right into the lesson plan and grade sheet at the same time, saving me time.

Cons

I don't like when I am logged in too long and it forces me to log out and log back in by saying "access denied."

### "Great program for parents and teachers "

April 16, 2026

5.0

Putting grades and assignments in is very simple and the lesson plan is easy to use checking my child's grades is simple, but there is a little bit if navigation required to see details on the assignments.

Pros

The ease of navigation and user friendliness of the program for parents and teachers, the availability of the program is awesome. Checking gradelink from app adds a level of convenience for parents.

Cons

When doing a combination class having a way to separate lesson plans for each grade taught, the parent side of it is not so user friendly.

### "Gradelink Exceptional Technical Support Team"

June 5, 2025

5.0

Technical support has always been responsive and solving our immediate problems and they offer insight on how to make our process better and time efficient with their processes.

Pros

Gradelink offers a variety of solutions to manage in one application. The most important aspect I have found is the technical support provided by the knowledgable technicians. \[sensitive content hidden\] has been my right arm in trying to navigate and getting our billing process online and in the hands of our parents to manage. Without his expert and abundance of patience this would be a train wreck for us. Thank you \[sensitive content hidden\] for all you to do make my job easier!

Cons

Not taking the time to find out how much more is available for a school to use before now. Sometimes we have to take baby steps due to time constraints to roll out everything Gradelink has to offer.

September 23, 2025

5.0

This is our first year, and while GL does not quite function as we would like, we are grateful for great technical support, which makes day-to-day challenges so much easier.

Pros

Our school's tech support representative \[sensitive content hidden\] has been excellent. He has been quick to respond, giving very specific and helpful responses.

Cons

Being an international school, we would love to see Gradelink address differing time zones within a system and combine semester-long classes with year-long classes within the class schedule feature.

September 18, 2025

5.0

Pros

\[sensitive content hidden\] did an awesome job helping me problem solve an issue I was having. I am so grateful for his patience, kindness and knowledge.

Cons

I didn't like having to send an email after I tried to call. I waited about an hour for a call back for an issue that I was really needing to resolve quickly. Once the call came, however, I got all the help I needed. I also really wish the system/program was more intuitive.

Overall I like using Gradelink and feel it has great customer support. Our school has used this service for many years and will continue in the future.

Pros

As an administrator I like the capability to send emails and texts via Gradelink. It has proven itself to be worth the money for our school.

Cons

I do not feel it is easy to use on a mobile device. It could be better for my teachers to manage grades and student information from their phone. In addition the user interface could use an update.

Very positive, although there were shortcuts that I only learned this year. Simpler interface is always better.

Pros

The ability to quickly enter grades and create useful templates. Parent communications are quick and easy.

Cons

Phone app version is buggy and lesson plans are easily messed up due to sensitivity of input. Too many lessons accidentally moved to other days is very annoying.

Great program to keep track of children and their contact information. Easy to do reports. Report cards are easy to publish and print.

Pros

The Help button. If I do not know how to perform a task I can use the help button to figure out how to do the task. It gives detailed answers and steps.

Cons

I can be working on something and it will log me out or I have to refresh to move on to the next screen, which means that I have to sometimes start over.

### "Gradelink, with room to grow."

April 22, 2026

4.0

It's great to have all the infomation in one place. The automatic features work well within our organization.

Pros

I like that it's a program where parents and teachers can work together. It's a hub where we can communicate and work towards an educational success.

Cons

The user interface isn't intuitive at all times. The navigation isn't always clear, it's clear the program is written by programmers - not teachers and administrators.
