SIS Admin E-Learning ### "A customer that has BARELY TOLERATED SchoolMint for nearly 10 years " 2.0 Overall Rating 2.0 2.0 Ease of Use 2.0 2.0 Features 1.0 1.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 2/10 February 27, 2026 The platform started out fairly strong, but clearly pivoted to profit and away from quality. If you have not yet bought into it, DON'T. Its a 4 out of 10 scale. Pros The GUI is cute and designed for those that do not have any database experience. I am a Powerschool Administrator, so while I find it to be incredibly annoying, I assume others without DB experience appreciate it. That is the only thing I find positive about it. Cons Where to start? Ah yes, support. Suffice it to say SchoolMint has designed its support structure to be one rung better than completely AI. For example, in the years I've had to work with the platform, the company has moved from dedicated support assistance to ZERO dedicated support assistance and a phone number for technical support that, no matter when you call it, seems to ALWAYS have staff "supporting other customers" and throws the customer into a voicemail. Chat is non-responsive. My guess from observation is that they have reduced their support staff (technical and customer facing) by 75%. And it shows. Enhancements? Zero. I've seen enhancement requests in the SchoolMint community pages sit for YEARS with zero response. There is NO effort to improve the product. Its all about making the profit. Finally, the platform infrastructure...average. The design isn't flawed. Its functional. Which is why I haven't insisted on abandoning them to Powerschool Enrollment. But I have learned to expect ZERO improvements so there will come a day when PS Enrollment gets its GUI improved and works out some kinks, and its 'goodbye SchoolMint'.

AN Anonymous User Sr. Director of Curriculum and Instructional Effectiveness Education Management ### "SMG in a K-8 setting" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 July 17, 2024 We have received great customer service with each rep that we have worked with at SMG. Pros SMG allows us to collect data and determine trends. It also allows us to capture meeting notes and walkthrough data. Cons We find the meeting templates to be limiting. Only the person who starts the meeting can add to the agenda topics. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Administrative Supervisor Primary/Secondary Education ### "Fine if minimal features are needed" 2.0 Overall Rating 2.0 2.0 Ease of Use 2.0 2.0 Features 1.0 1.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 March 2, 2023 Pros The interface is clean and aesthetically pleasing. Cons Enroll is like an airplane that is being built while it is in the air for the first time. Features are incomplete and do not function properly. For example, applicants can use a Scheduling module to select appointment dates/times, but there is no way for the system admin to export that information to a CSV or Excel. Same with recommendations; they cannot be exported by the admin. So there is critical data points in the system that cannot be accessed by the admins. The product is very disappointing.

HC Heather C. Director Information Technology and Services ### "Terrible customer service. Unprofessional. Unaccountable. " 2.0 Overall Rating 2.0 2.0 Ease of Use 1.0 1.0 Features 2.0 2.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 1/10 February 10, 2023 Pros The front-end user interface was nice... Cons We tried to be patient and work with SchoolMint to make things happen, but we were let down at every tier of the SchoolMint Enroll System. Perhaps they are still trying to figure their processes out after the merger of acquiring enrollhand, but as a company that works with and for school systems, we expect a higher level of professionalism and accountability.

As a teacher manager, I am able to track how many observations are completed, my past notes, goals, and much more. Cons SchoolMint is excellent! One way to improve this product is to make a drop down option that would makes it easier to navigate multiple candidates.

Whitney A. College Career Navigator Higher Education ### "Parent Using SchoolMint" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 March 7, 2022 Overall, my experience with schoolmint is good. We love having all of the information at our fingertips. Pros I like that all three of my children are on one account. It's very easy to click between children and view grades, absences, etc. Cons It's difficult to recover username and password. I've always had to end up calling the school to have mine reset.

IT coordinator Education Management ### "Support lacking" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 2/10 December 21, 2020 I do think this could be a good product, but the support is usually only offered a few days after I submit a ticket. I was also told that I would not be able to get my re-enrollment online for another 2 months because I missed a deadline (while I was waiting on support)! Hopefully others have a better experience. Maybe it's just the people assigned to my school. Pros We purchased this software to help us automate enrollment and our lottery process. Cons Initial training was offered, but when that person left the organization, follow up training has been below expectations. School Mint's idea of training or support is to send a tutorial link that's an hour long when you only need 5 min. of the video. I spend more time trying to figure out my own solutions rather than getting actual support. Charter schools usually have a great deal of turn over in the first few years. They need to learn more about the people they work with and provide support so the product is actually useful.

We are cutting down time parents spend in the school office waiting to register their students. It provides ease and convenience for busy parents. Pros School Mint Was an easy and effective way to transition our student registration and documentation process to an online format. Cons Depending on parent education level and flexibility. Some found it tedious to upload the required documents for school registration. They needed a mind shift and the necessary tools on their electronic devices. Parent reports that there were a lot of pages to navigate through. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Student Education Management ### "Smart Choice Technologies | Admissions made easier" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 February 5, 2020 I was introduced to Smart Choice Technologies when working on a project and I have to say that it really impressed me and helped me sort out applications and making sure everything worked out well, and it did a good job at that. I definitely recommend it. Pros Smart Choice Technologies is the smart choice to make if you want to make your life easier when it comes to applications and wait lists for schools. It allows you to provide an online platform to you applicants, and easier management of everything involving said applications, making it a great tool for making sure you have the best possible experience. Cons Other than the fact that you have to pay for it, I don't have anything negative to say here. It's a great tool and the price is reasonable for what it offers.
