Jupiter supports school districts with everything they need to manage teaching, learning, information, and engagement in a single, all-in-one platform. Jupiter was founded in 2004 by an educator frustrated by large big companies that missed the small, important details that are so essential to teachers. While those providers had their sights set on becoming the biggest, we’ve never lost sight of what really matters. ## What is Jupiter used for?

Office Manager and Teacher's Aide Education Management ### "Great program very easy to use " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 May 31, 2025 It is a great software especially for those who are new to technology. It could use a little update to add more options when it comes to grading though. Pros Jupiter was extremely easy to use especially when entering a new students information. It was extremely easy and user friendly. Cons Honestly there wasn't anything I didn't like about it. I do wish there was an option to select all the students present at once instead of having to go through each and every student.

SC Sasha C. Principal Education Management ### "Jupiter's multifaceted integration of record keeping features decreases extra work!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 December 17, 2021 I continue to be grateful for the ways in which we can refer back to logs about students, pull together information from multiple sources, and correlate and dissemination information. These features improve the experience for the teacher and parent as well as the administrator. Pros Jupiter has hugely and positively impacted our ability to communicate with our parents as well as internally. Increased communication has decreased parent anxiety. Having all of the features integrated together makes record keeping very easy; with the addition of being able to integrate Google Classroom grades into Jupiter, my teachers are able to decrease their workload. Cons Our school has been using the Textbook Log feature for several years, and while this has been very helpful in tracking down books from students, the checking in and out features have been a bit cumbersome.

CP Cynthia P. Teacher Education Management ### "Jupiter Ed Individual Teacher Platform" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 2.0 2.0 Likelihood to Recommend 3/10 November 21, 2021 Jupiter support refuses to speak with single users in person, only by email. What will Jupiter take away next from the single user? I fear we will be locked out of options in the coming years. I would be willing to pay a reasonable amount more, each year, in order to get these features back. I am still using Jupiter and will continue to do so, as long as they don't cut us off completely. Jupiter gives their perks to their school and district accounts, but those with individual teacher's accounts are being left out. Pros Jupiter Ed is incredibly easy to use. I have been able to keep track of my students' progress for the past 15 years. I still have the records, since 2007. This program is wonderful for creating tests and lessons. It lets me know when I need to step back and re-teach concepts that students are struggling with. I can and do keep detailed notes on students who need extensive assistance each year. I use their individual progress reports with the notes for parent conferences. Grading is quick and simple. It syncs with Google Classroom effortlessly. Cons The cons are not about the software. The software works great. This is about the features that are being taken away from the individual users, like myself, one by one each year. For the current academic year, individual teachers no longer are able to send automatic email notifications to parents with their child's grade and any missing assignments. (This was super for parents!) No longer am I able to check student misuse of computer accounts now. Jupiter took away the Text to Speech for languages this year, for the same reason. Devastating for my ELLs and special needs students. These options have disappeared, after being a customer for 15 years, because I don't have a school account. I am subject to use only my District's program, which is cumbersome. Jupiter is my back-up system.

They have decided it is too expensive and the state is switching to Infinite Campus. Pros I like that Jupiter finally has the ability to link to Google Classroom. Cons Teachers no longer have the ability to edit all aspects of a student's profile. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Teacher Education Management ### " Best Gradebook and JUNO pods are invaluable!" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 November 19, 2021 I have been using Jupiter since 2006 and I can say without a doubt that it the best grading platform I've ever used. It is highly intuitive and set up in a way that is designed to help the TEACHER to access, assess their students' progress and status. It makes communication with the Students and the parents very easy. And Juno pods are the best. I use them regularly to help my students to practice and refine their work. Pros User friendly & intuitive. It is obviously designed with the teacher in mind. And Juno pods are a great tool to help the students to learn from their mistakes. Juno pods are also a great way to do quick exit passes. The customer service team is quick and does their best to address the problem. Cons Cost has gone up significantly in the last few years. I choose to use Jupiter as my personal grade book and I'm not sure if I'll be able to continue to do so with the rising cost.

LV Lee V. Teacher Education Management ### "The absolute best #1 teacher software on the market. GET IT, you won't be disapointed." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 November 18, 2021 A+. There is no other way to describe it. It is well worth the cost. I started out using it myself in my school and there are about 20 teachers using it now. It is fabulous. our sports teams even use it just for the communication area which is great. It has been a blessing to use during the remote pandemic learning. Pros The communication feature of the product is worth the price alone. The variety of different features are amazing and make keeping everything organized a breeze. The customer service is beyond exceptional. Anytime I've had an issue (which has been infrequent) they are lightning fast to respond and always take care of you. it is an amazing product. I've used it for about 10 years and I would never want to teach without it. Cons The only thing I found difficult was changing a students name if spelling was incorrect. You have to go through the admin. account to do it and it was easy at first but once figured out it isn't a problem. I don't know if there is much that can be improved upon. Reasons for choosing Jupiter We looked at a few other products and none have the value for the money. The only thing this program doesn't do is make your morning coffee.

Pros Jupiter Ed is really user friendly. I appreciate that it links to Google Classroom, and documents can be uploaded to assignments. I also like that both parents and students have their own accounts to be able to access different information. Cons I would like if more things could be locked in admin mode, so that teachers do not accidentally click and send information that they do not need.

Pros I love emailing students and they always know their grades so far. I also like the integrations with google classroom. I also like that i can attach files and send it to my students. Cons I totally love it. I can't think of anything it is missing. I have been with jupiter grades for over 15 years and it just keeps getting better and better.

MD Melvin Dwight R. Teacher Education Management ### "Review of Jupitergrades.com by Melvin Dwight Ruddell" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 November 18, 2021 See above. Pros I like the feature of emailing progress reports to parents and students. I also like the testing feature with automatic grading. Cons I don't like the flexibility of changing due dates. When I schedule assignment in advance, if I have to change a due date on one for today. I have to go back and change each assignment in the future to postpone all of my assignments. When I was using Canvas during Covid lockdown, I could go to the calendar and easily drag and drop assignments. With yours I have to do a lot more work to postpone all of my assignments.
