EdTech Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Frontline - a solid SIS with good reporting functions" August 30, 2025 4.0 We use it for student attendance, data, demographic information & family contact information and grade reporting. It is reliable and able to generate all of the reports we need. Pros It helps us ensure that we are compliant with state reporting guidelines with respect to attendance and grade reporting for students. It was easy to set up and a switch from traditional grade reporting to standards based grade reporting was also easy to manage. Our teachers are also able to use it to report absences. Cons We manage discipline and log behavior reports on here and teachers have commented that there is not enough flexibility in how things are reported and it does not always fit the student.

While it can have some issues with glitches or technical problem. Once you understand the software it is pretty user friendly. Pros I like that everything is in one place which makes it easier for me to update student records as needed. I can easily see attendance, grades and a student's schedule all centrally located. It is also user friendly for teachers, admin and parent through progress book. Cons There can be some nuances like when the system is down, or when we need support. Just typical glitches with any software program, but technical problems can sometimes cause frustration when you are in a rush to get something done. Review Source JW Janie W. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Progressbook by Teacher" February 23, 2020 3.0 Pros The last update which included automatic saving has been a game changer. I no longer have to remember to click save. I like the ease of setting up different methods of calculating and excluding grades. The reports it generates are easy to make. My district only uses Progressbook for grade entering so I'm not sure about the other features. Cons Progressbook is sometimes slow to load or open new windows even when the internet works fine with other websites. Review Source JG Jennifer G. Librarian Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Pretty easy to use" March 10, 2026 4.0 My overall experience with frontline SIS has been mostly great with very few issues and a good value for the money. Pros What I like most about Frontline SIS is the ease of use. I also like the data management for school. Cons What I like least about front line is sometimes it glitches or just does not work like it should but that's not too often. Review Source YD Yanne D. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great for educators." April 23, 2026 5.0 Pros I like how everything I need for day to day operations in the classroom are all on one platform: rosters, records, discipline referrals, and more. Cons Sometimes Frontline times-out and does not automatically save information such as grades and attendance. Review Source JC Jennifer C. Associate Director of Admissions Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Frontline Review" March 31, 2026 4.0 I love that it is simple to use, easy to keep track of past absences and future requests for time off. Pros I love that it is easy to use, easy to see totals and keep track of absences and attendance and easy to navigate. Cons In order to see your totals there are a few places to click that you have to look for. I would like for it to be easier to locate. Review Source Matthew H. Director Of Business Development Medical Practice Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Wonderful Education Solution" April 21, 2019 5.0 My overall experience has been incredibly positive. I think it is the best option out there for managing caseloads for school districts and for writing educational documents. Pros I use ProgressBook daily. I think it is a wonderful software. For many districts, the public banks for information is awesome. We are able to share a lot of information and make our reports uniform between teachers, therapists, and school psychs. The personal banks are also a great feature. It is awesome that you can code for pronouns him/her to make writing documents more efficient. It is also very easy to pull information from past IEPs, ETRs, and progress reports into existing documents. Cons The text formatting features can be a little clunky at times. I wish it also had an autosave function. I try to make a habit to save frequently, but sometimes I forget and have lost my information. Review Source Bella W. Columnist Writing and Editing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A great concept, but not very reliable" February 20, 2019 3.0 It's a good idea, but the execution is poor. If the problems mentioned were fixed, I would definitely recommend this site to parents of students. Pros ProgressBook is a school-issued account for parents to check current grades at any time, which is an excellent idea, and when it works properly, can be a great time saver. Cons The program often glitches and the "Activities" function will freeze or start the student over. Problems with passwords and usernames happen often too, and the whole site will crash occasionally. Review Source Mary M. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use" November 7, 2019 5.0 Overall, I like using this software and think it is a great way to keep everything in one place. Pros Frontline is a great way to manage my absences and my professional developments through my school. Cons This software is sometimes hard to use when scheduling my professional developments. The buttons are kind of confusing to navigate. Review Source Rebecca S. Financial Aid Director Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great for a Paretn" September 29, 2020 4.0 I like the convenience of it and being able to check on students grades and have all of their school documents all online. Pros Great for a parent to be able to check in on your students work and grades right from your device. Allows you to log in as a parent and see exactly what your student has for grades and might be missing. Very helpful in that regard. Cons Sometimes it can be difficult or glitchy but that could be my phone. Nothing bad so far but have only been using it for a little. Review Source JB Jessica B. Counselor Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great student management system" March 14, 2025 4.0 I enjoy Frontline. I like that it can be customized to do pretty much anything you need it to do regarding records and reports. Pros It is pretty user friendly. It does accurate work. I can trust that when I run a report it catches what I need it to. Cons It is difficult to work with multiple windows open. Review Source JTB Joel Thomas B. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Progressbook - Good, but not great" March 10, 2019 4.0 I have been using progressbook as a grading, parent/student contact, and record keeping log for three years in two different school environments. Pros I love that progressbook allows you to set up grade access for multiple accounts, so I can share my classroom with other teachers or service providers and adjust their ability to input, change, or simply view grades. You can weight/change the value of specific items or even whole categories of grades very easily I also like that i can title and shift the classes around to be what I like to have. Cons I can't "hide students" if they have withdrawn, someone else within my building has to do that for me. I have to manually click "save grades" every time, there is shortcut or "auto save" feature The import/export .xls function is extremely clunky and rarely inputs cleanly unless the names are the exact same (down to individual capitalized letters) If two people are working in the same gradebook at the sametime they will over-ride each others grades - should be saved in the cloud Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Overall a very useful product!" January 6, 2020 4.0 Overall I've had a positive experience with the software and very few complaints. Pros As a parent of a student whose school uses this software, I am normally looking at it multiple times per week to make sure no assignments are missed. I do like that it is easy to use and assignments are clearly laid out for each class. I enjoy being able to get a quick snapshot of my child's progress. Cons The interface seems a bit dated. This doesn't affect the functionality of the software, but it does make it somewhat less enjoyable to use. It would be nice if the interface and styling were updated. It would also be nice if I could set up alerts for myself when new assignments are added. I know it's possible to get alerts when assignments are missing or have a low grade, but more alert types would be nice. Review Source PR Priya R. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very Slow" March 12, 2019 4.0 Very slow at grading calculating time. Every report card and progress report time. I work for Orange County Public Schools in Florida. It has never been like this. I used to be able to calculate grades with comments in 45 minutes, but this is so slow. Even late. It is 11:00 pm and I am struggling with this. Pros It is fairly easy to use the majority of the time. Cons It is extremely slow when it is time to calculate grades. It takes a full minute or two, I timed it, between calculations to move to the next student. That's why I have time to write this review. Our grades are not due until Friday, officially, but I like to be ahead. Today is Monday. Why is it slow ?? A 45-minute task now takes almost two hours while waiting and trying to multitask to use my time wisely.

Pros I am a parent user of the software and have found it to be invaluable when it comes to staying informed and up-to-date on my child's assignments and progress in class. Having the ability to monitor grades and progress allows us to be proactive in making sure that we can provide focus on areas that need it. Cons As a parent user, I really have no complaints because the data that I need is readily accessible and presented in a well-ordered format. Review Source RY Ranneth Y. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Teacher review" January 7, 2020 4.0 Pros I do like how it is a system that gives me the opportunity to take attendance, do grades and access contact information in one place. Cons As a teacher, time is precious and I need programs that help me utilize my time better. I feel that when I have to enter my grades even do a simple search. The interface has so many options but not easy to navigate . There seem to be many things available on my dashboard but I'm not quite sure how to use all of it. Review Source CO Candace O. Student Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "ProgressBook is a wonderful tool for teachers, parents, and students alike." May 30, 2018 4.0 I am able to see all my grades at a glance! Pros ProgressBook offers students like myself a sense of comfort and security, as I can easily see up-to-the-minute what my grades are. I also love how I can see the breakdown of my assignments and what grade I received for each assignment. Cons I wish ProgressBook showed how many points earned out of how many points total for the grading period. Of course, it shows the percent and the letter grade in the course, but showcasing the point totals would make it easier for students to see what they need to get on the next assignment in order to raise or maintain their grade.

Helpdesk Technician Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "So much you can do with it" August 25, 2022 4.0 Pros Used with the ERP & SIS and it was helpful and useful once we knew how it worked. Cons Customer service did take a while to get back to when it came to uploads. Review Source DS Daniel S. HR Director Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Needs improvement " May 17, 2022 1.0 Pros Nothing as there were many product within my first month at the job I looked to replace this product. Cons A slow customer service, not an easy product to understand( took an 8 hour training and still did not understand), the easy of use, and none of the product talk to each other. Review Source BR Brandi R. Clerk Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Frontline" April 7, 2022 5.0 Pros I love that you can customize frontline and the user can easily see all updates on the platform. I like it's easy use and simple look. There's nothing better than a platform like this, very minimal and to the point. Cons I wish there was more customizing to my profile. Review Source CR Cindy R. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "No Longer In a Frontline District" November 28, 2023 5.0 Pros It was very easy to access. In the substitute system, I could block subs who I did not want to cover my classes. Cons I preferred it to my district’s current system, so no cons! Review Source KE Kelsey E. Teacher Used the software for: 2+ years ### "This is a place to track and post student grades, data, schedules and etc." June 6, 2018 5.0 Pros It is very easy to post grades for parents to access and for me to access student information like parent phone numbers. Cons There are some reports that can be run but the type of reports that I would like (list of students with below a C) are not part of them. Review Source SO Sojourner O. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Frontline Could Be Better" May 14, 2019 3.0 My overall experience is mixed. As a teacher who is constantly being asked to complete an array of task online, I need the software to be accommodating. On some occasions, it took far too much time to complete a simple task. Pros Frontline makes easy to upload artifacts for evidence. Cons Too many links. It is hard to decipher where the user is supposed to click Review Source JA Jasmine A. Coach Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "My school uses this software to keep track of grades, attendance, etc..." April 10, 2018 4.0 Pros I like that this software holds all of the information I need for my students like IEP information, grades, seating charts, and addresses. Cons I do not like that this software is only used for final grades. I have to use a different app to submit all grades for my students. Then i have to transfer those final grades in progress book.
