### "Grace Lutheran Lancaster Gradelink"

November 7, 2019

5.0

Wonderful. I'm so glad we're back.

Pros

We used Gradelink as our first online grading program 12 years ago as our first online grade program. The parents LOVED it, but I thought maybe it was because it was a new way for parents to see feedback about their kid's grades. Then we switched to Renweb and then to Sycamore because we got new principals. I hated them. Too complicated and most parents did not ever use it. I assumed it was because it was no longer a new thing. But when we switched back this year, parents INSTANTLY started checking grades more. Parents really like the emails. I like how simple it is as a teacher. Very few clicks. Easy class set up. I like how easy it is to conclude classes. I like that I can click on a student's name and see their current grades.

Cons

There are a few things I wish: print off ALL my students' missing assignments in a report--not just missing from the classes they have with me I wish there was a teacher app--especially for attendance

### "Gradelink - Easy to Use"

September 3, 2022

4.0

Overall it is good for the everyday tasks - our\[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] is awesome. He gets back to me quickly, especially during busy periods and despite the fact we are on the East coast and he is on the west coast. He has been patient with me as I learned this system.

Pros

It is much easier to use compared to other school software's I have used. Much more user friendly.

Cons

In the Administrative area, there needs to be more reports that we can draw from.

Reason for choosing Gradelink

Renweb seemed to complicated.

### "Gradelink, YES!"

February 13, 2023

5.0

Our experience with Gradelink has been terrific!

Pros

The service is easy to use..... If a mistake is made, it is easy to correct. There is no fear of "losing everything", or having to start from scratch. It is well designed to streamline use.

Cons

There is nothing troublesome with the platform Gradelink.

We had already started with Gradelink. We loved the platform and wondered "why switch"? As a school, we have always maintained great relationships working with the folks at Gradelink. The customer service is THE BEST.

### "Bang for your buck."

September 10, 2019

4.0

Pros

Great value. Incredible customer service.

Cons

Doesn't have as many features as others. Some tasks have to be completed manually student by student and are thus time consuming; these should be streamlined.

Reason for choosing Gradelink

Better value. More affordable for small schools.

February 2, 2022

### "Excellent Customer Service"

August 6, 2020

5.0

This is the first SIS that I have used formally, and I know there are more expensive, more robust systems out there, but I really believe that Gradelink meets all of our needs at a very affordable price. Some more bells and whistles may be nice, but they aren't really necessary.

Pros

One of the things I appreciate most about Gradelink SIS is it's customer service! Whenever I run into trouble they're always there to help point me in the right direction or fix the problem...though it's most often the former!

Cons

There are some reporting features and the ability to email a single financial statement without downloading first that would be helpful, but the feature I like least is the teacher/school news pages. It would be helpful if it had more formatting capabilities with photos, shapes and text boxes.

### "Pros and Cons of gradelink- Northwest Christian School"

July 21, 2021

5.0

We like the program, a lot

Pros

I like that it is easy to use. i like that families do not have to complete new paperwork every year. i like that we can reach the whole school community through emails at one time. I love that we can post report cards and grades online and that report cards are generated by just adding grades.

Cons

I would like to be able to change the format of the report card as I would like it. I would also like the parent feature to consist of being able to see all tests grades in one place, all quizzes in one place, all hw grades in one place, etc.

Reason for choosing Gradelink

We liked what gradelink had to offer.

We appreciate your input, Abbie, and we're thrilled that you like Gradelink so much! There are some changes that can be made to your school's report cards by your administrator, however, other changes must be done on our end. If you need assistance, we're always happy to help.

### "Customer Service is Excellent"

October 31, 2023

5.0

Pros

If I have a question, Customer Service (Axel is who I've consistently worked with) gets back to me right away with what I asked to be adjusted very quickly or with a personalized video using our account with how to proceed. I have even gotten a heads up on how to navigate Gradelink in a more efficient way.

Cons

It doesn't seem to be user friendly for parents to fill out paperwork on mobile devices. We have parents without access to computers and this was difficult for them.

### "Customer Support"

January 8, 2021

5.0

I wanted to do a shout out to \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\]. We have called on numerous occasions for support help and every time these gentlemen have walked us through each step and totally gave us the time and attention we needed. Their enthusiasm for their job came through and thoroughly enjoyed working with them. They each represent Gradelink well! We are integrating gradelink to do more and more for our school and we are going to switch and cancel our other admissions software company.

Pros

We are continuing to learn this software. I like that we are growing and the software is adding the features we need to continue to grow.

Cons

I don't have any negatives so far :) As we continue to use the software to its fullest something may come up but for now, I do not know of any.

Reason for choosing Gradelink

Customer service and support and we like the new programs that are evolving.

### "We made the switch"

September 17, 2019

4.0

Gradelink now has billing and AR add to the program. It's been a tough road for us to learn all the ins and outs of the system, but service is quite helpful. They worked hard with us and we've asked for many updates to their system, and mostly quite cooperative.

Pros

We use to use excel for everything. Too easy to lose data, make mistakes, difficult to handle. Gradelink made us organize better. Better looking report cards, better system for keeping medical records, It made us look more like an 'institution'.

Cons

We expected parents to be able to update on their own, and we'd receive notice of changes. Parents had a little difficulty navigating, as well as us, and they felt the 'change' from just filling out paper forms. Somehow they felt they had to do more, when in reality it is less, more condensed, better for us.

Reason for choosing Gradelink

Seemed to be the best for us.

January 20, 2021

5.0

Experience has been good. Customer service is excellent - respond usually in the same day, even when I am on the East Coast and they are at West.

Pros

It is very user friendly and covers everything we need. I like that you can easily correct issues in the finance area. Email and text messages are easy to set up and send out. I still have things to learn about some of the finer points - reports etc.

Cons

Some reports under financials can get quit lenthly. Wish it was on fewer pages etc. especially when running statement by category.

### "Good product - customer support is awesome!"

August 16, 2022

5.0

I have to say the customer support is excellent. I recently had an issue where I couldn't see some grade codes I previously used. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] reached out to me and was very prompt with calling back and emailing me regarding my issue. She included screenshots and descriptions that were very helpful and pleasant to work with over the phone. She helped me resolve my problem, and the grade codes I was missing appeared back in my classes. The response time was quick, and again, \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] was so helpful and great to work with.

Pros

I like the ability to use this as a grade book, along with the ability to communicate with families (via class pages and email). I also appreciate the ability to sync assignments from Google Classroom into Gradelink.

Cons

Personally, I don't see any cons from the user side. Gradelink is very supportive and receptive to suggestions.

Pros

I have spoken to \[sensitive content hidden\] several times for assistance with the Gradelinks product. I have to say, you have a gem in \[sensitive content hidden\] ! She was knowledgeable, courteous, and very customer oriented. \[sensitive content hidden\] responded quickly to my request for assistance, had the answers I needed, walked me through a specific set-up and actually took the extra time to make sure I had completed the set-up correctly!

Our organization has used it for years and will continue to renew each year.

Pros

Gradelink is easy to use and they have helpful videos or links to problem solve. If you can't find the answer to a question using the help button, employees at the help desk (Kate Nevar) respond in a timely and friendly manner.

Cons

I wish there was an easier way to add assignments that are the same but have different due dates. Other than that, I love Gradelink!

### "Perfect Solution for Small Schools"

January 13, 2021

5.0

Great program and can't be beat for the price.

Pros

They have the best tech support of any program I have used. The setup and installation were also really easy with their help. The training video and help section are excellent. It is very user friendly and affordable for small schools. Notable: Teacher Pages which have been very Covid Friendly, great report section and parent friendly app. We really like the ease of keeping track of service hours.

Cons

The are constantly improving. One of my recent complaints was in regards to Google Classroom integration, but they fixed that. Next looking forward to the calendar integration. I am still not crazy about their Lesson Plan section for elementary, but that is an easy workaround. It is great for older grade classes though.

### "Does Some Things Really Well"

September 10, 2019

4.0

Overall I like GL. Customer Service is very responsive.

Pros

It's very easy to get information from GL into Excel where it can be manipulated. GL accepts a lot of information, and it's easy to update.

Cons

Navigation is really not intuitive. Information is compartmentalized and difficult to access. To change a student's attendance, instead of just looking up the student, I have to go look up the student's homeroom, then go to Attendance and find that homeroom, and change it there. I can't look at all of a student's attendance in Student module--I have to go to Administrator Reports, and do Custom Attendance. Teachers cannot see a lot of the information on a student for no reason that I've been able to discern.

### "High Praise for Gradelink and the Customer Service Team!"

January 26, 2021

5.0

The Customer Support Team is fantastic. They are kind, encouraging, quick to follow up, and responsive to the first order. Being able to have a team at hand when I run into an issue is key and I can always count on them!

Pros

I find Gradelink easy to use. I came into the school when the person administering Gradelink had an emergency in her family. I was able to do all of the end of year processes with a little bit of guidance from the Gradelink Customer Service Team. My 'stepping in' became a full-time job with Gradelink Administration being a key component. I love the integration that Gradelink provides for Student Information, Online Enrollment, Website Services, and Payment Solutions.

Cons

My own lack of knowledge of SIS. Most things are intuitive, but if it's a process I'm not familiar with, I reach out to the Customer Service Team, who are there right away with guidance for me.

Reason for choosing Gradelink

Highly recommended and close to our school
