May 13, 2026 5.0 Overall, Google classroom has been a very helpful addition to our school tools making submission and grading (even with comments) super easy! Pros Google Classroom has many useful features and options for teachers/students from assignments to announcements to discussion. Integrations to our Gradelink system makes it so teachers can grade in Classroom and it auto-transfers to our SIS. Extremely helpful! The process to return digital submissions can feel a little arduous but once learned is worth the extra step. Cons The assignment return process. It seems a bit much but is a necessary step to getting students their files back again. Review Source MS Mark S. Principal Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Googles Classroom" June 6, 2026 4.0 It is simple and can be adjusted to fit the applicable needs of a classroom and is able to merge into some of our existing applications for school Pros It is easy to use and one can set up the grading scale how they would like it. The options are very simple. Cons It sometimes crashes when I have been inputting too much information. The it’s speed is not always the fastest Alternatives considered [Gradelink](https://www.capterra.com/p/118900/Gradelink-SIS/) Reason for choosing Google Classroom We choose Google Classroom first and then purchased Gradelink to match it. Review Source MM Meg M. Teacher Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great in theory, awful for actual classroom use." December 20, 2024 2.0 Awful. Parents can't see grades. Students get confused about where to find content. It doesn't automatically make a copy of docs for students. Pros I love how easily I can link it to Google Docs and how I can store feedback comments. Cons The ways in which to organize content is greatly lacking. The gradebook glitches and there are minimal ways to grade/label content that has been submitted. Review Source TA Tersen A. Teacher and Technology Coordinator Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Practical LMS that Gets the Job Done" February 27, 2026 4.0 Classroom is a streamlined platform that is ideal for schools looking for a free, easy to use LMS that is tied into Google's ecosystem. It is particularly strong for straightforward assignment management and basic student-teacher communication. However, if your needs include advanced analytics, rich built in interaction tools, or highly customizable workflows, Classroom may feel a bit limited. Pros The interface is clean and intuitive. Teachers can set up classes, post assignments, and organize materials quickly without a steep learning curve. Our school already utilizes Google Drive, Docs, etc. so it is a natural fit. You also cannot beat the price (free), which gives it a leg up on competitors. Cons Its simplicity is also its biggest weakness. It is lacking in advanced functionality such as possessing a less robust gradebook and limited customization. Alternatives considered [Schoology](https://www.capterra.com/p/128481/Schoology/) Reason for choosing Google Classroom The cost at the time was much more conducive to what we needed. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Coordinator Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent Teaching and Learning Platform " November 19, 2025 5.0 Pros Google Classroom is an excellent platform for classroom management and student teacher interaction. It integrates with a multitude of educational applications and has an easy to use interface. Cons Google Classroom currently has no whiteboard component for presentations or sharing notes. This feature may improve the student experience. Alternatives considered [ClassDojo](https://www.capterra.com/p/124446/ClassDojo/) Reason for choosing Google Classroom Google Classroom is easier for students to navigate with respect to accessing files and assignments. It also integrates easily with email. Review Source ML Matthew L. Teacher E-Learning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Helps with setting and assessing work." April 25, 2026 5.0 A useful addition to support the teacher’s administration and organisation of a class’ work, especially homework. Pros Ability to set tasks for pupils and view what they have done quickly and easily. Pupils can access and work on tasks without issue. Cons Sometimes the way this is accessed through Hwb in Wales is awkward but the software itself is useful. Alternatives considered [Microsoft 365](https://www.capterra.com/p/227157/Microsoft-365/) Reason for choosing Google Classroom Ease of use with Google classroom in comparison to MS365.

December 25, 2024 4.0 I started using this tool shortly after the Covid pandemic, since we were all given Gmail business accounts and asked us to use all the resources present there. The truth is that I started with some mistrust since I used other tools to carry out my cognitive stimulation workshops (and I was already quite used to them), but the result of using Google Classroom was satisfactory, since it made life easier for my students and their parents (they did not have to make extra accounts and they could enter with their gmail emails) and also allowed me to constantly monitor the activities since I always I have my phone at hand and I have all the Google apps installed. Pros \- You don't have to create a new account, as you can use it with your GMAIL account - Information can be shared in different formats, meetings can be scheduled and held virtually. - Classes, notes and assignments can be accessed from any device. - Allows for selective assignment of tasks. - And most importantly, it is completely free. Cons \- You must be updating the feed manually since it does not do it automatically and that can be a big problem. Switched from [Kahoot!](https://www.capterra.com/p/156399/Kahoot/) The company asked us to make the change, although I was reluctant at first, I think the overall experience is quite good.

Student Mentee Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Simple, Organized, and Perfect for Learning and Training" May 15, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with Google Classroom was excellent. At Drammez Mentorship and Leadership Academy, it helped keep all our training materials, assignments, and mentorship resources organized in one place. Everything was easy to access, whether it was questionnaires, instructions, or weekly tasks. The platform made communication between mentors and students smooth, and the structure kept the entire mentorship program clear and stress‑free. It’s simple, reliable, and perfect for organizing training content in a mentorship environment. Pros What I liked most about Google Classroom was how organized and easy it was to use. Assignments, materials, deadlines, and announcements were all in one place, which made training sessions at Drammez Mentorship and Leadership Academy smooth and stress‑free. Cons What I liked least is that sometimes files take a bit longer to upload, especially larger documents. It’s not a big issue, but it can slow things down when submitting assignments.

April 23, 2026 5.0 I used Google classroom when I was a classroom teacher, and it really helped students organize their work and be more efficient in completing it. It also eliminated the need to bring physical copies of work. Pros It's extremely easy to use, and there are numerous short surveys that teachers can take to improve the quality of the product. There are never any bugs or glitches, and it's highly organized. Cons The rubric system can be a little confusing, but I think that's something that can be easily fixed through feedback. Review Source MW Meegan W. Educator Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "One of the Better Sites" May 6, 2026 5.0 Overall, Google Classroom is a solid tool that keeps school life a bit more manageable. It’s simple, convenient, and helps cut down on the chaos of juggling different apps and platforms. Even with a few hiccups, it’s still a reliable place to keep track of what you need to do and when you need to do it. Pros Google Classroom makes schoolwork feel a lot more organized. Assignments, announcements, and class materials are all in one place, so you’re not digging through emails or random folders. It’s easy to use, loads quickly, and works well on pretty much any device, which is great for students and teachers. Cons Sometimes things don’t sync right away, and you might miss a notification or two. Turning in assignments can feel a little clunky, especially when files don’t upload the first time. And if your teacher doesn’t set things up clearly, the whole class page can get confusing pretty fast. Review Source JH Julianna H. Executive Director Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Google Classroom is User-Friendly" July 4, 2025 5.0 I used it for 2 years before moving to Canvas LMS, and, though I do actually really like Canvas, I would go back to Google classroom in a heartbeat. It’s truly easy to use, adding classes, assignments, it’s easy to make quizzes, and of course integrated with everything Google. I really liked it! And it’s better than Blackboard. Pros It’s very user-friendly and it integrated with everything. Especially since so many schools are going a Google route, using Google classroom makes it super easy to use everything else, from Gmail to Google slides. And like everything Google does, it’s clear and consistent in style. Cons Personally, my school moved to Canvas and I like that better because it has more apps that you can use for it. However, I would not be upset if we went back to Google classroom, because it really is that easy to use. Review Source RH Ro H.

June 30, 2025 4.0 It added some structure to our L&D process without the weight of a full LMS great for fast-moving IT teams learning new tools or frameworks. Pros Google Classroom We use Google Classroom to onboard new devs and product team members it’s nice to have all your modules, quizzes and resources in one place.
