### "Tillery Christian Academy"

June 17, 2026

4.0

Overall, we have had a good experience with SchoolCues. We have had no major issues that were not user error. 95% of our issues we have encountered could be corrected on the backend with a helpdesk ticket submitted. The reps are very good about responding in a timely manner.

Pros

School Cues is a great program for small growing schools. The SIS is a great tool for student information and easy to navigate. The training and customer support is top-notch. The parent communication module is awesome for parents to get information from the school on upcoming events, inclement weather, etc. We feel the site and program is very secure for student information to be stored.

Cons

The least thing we have seen in SchoolCues that could be improved is more custom attendance codes available to schools. Right now, there are only two custom attendance codes.

### "Highly Recommend SchoolCues from a small school"

May 13, 2026

4.0

Love it! As a parent and school worker, I think it's a valuable tool that is easy to use and self explanatory for users as well.

Pros

Completeness of modules, mobile application allows key functions for teachers, admins and parents. Payment features are great too!

Cons

Some of the modules may not be needed. Some of the user experience is not like current web apps but its functionality is great for paying and noting absences.

### "SchoolCues Review"

April 15, 2026

4.0

We are happy with SchoolCues and feel that it is worth the value we pay for it. It makes enrollment much simpler than we had done it previously and allows our teachers to communicate through the app rather than using their personal phone number or email.

Pros

We like the enrollment, attendance and student information systems modules. They are user friendly and all our teachers are able to access and use them easily. Customer service has been good. They respond quickly to inquiries.

Cons

We have had lots of deliverability issues this year with the communication module. This is our first year to have this issue, but it has been very difficult. Another difficulty is having our permission forms lock at unpredictable times on the day they are due. I wish they would lock at midnight consistently.

### "Still Two Thumbs Up"

March 23, 2026

5.0

Our school has been using SchoolCues for a few years now. We find that it is easy to use and is great for keeping student records, attendance, distributing permission forms, and so much more. Parents utilize SchoolCues to check their children in and out for the day, communicate with teachers, and input important information prior to their child's start date (Photo Releases, Emergency Contacts, etc). They can also access the school handbook and a directory of school staff, ensuring all pertinent information is at the tip of their fingertips. We are launching our first year of summer camp, and being able to use SchoolCues for these additional students gives us peace of mind. It will be an easy transition for alumni, and an easy to use inferface for new families.

Pros

I enjoy the details in different features, such as allowing event sign ups that may include multiple days/times, archiving alumni so that the information can still be accessed as needed, creating custom contact lists, the option to send reminders about upcoming events, and creating an image gallery where flyers and important announcements can be added.

Cons

In the near future, I hope for an update that will increased the limited characters on TextCues and allow classroom teachers to receive TextCues as well. Also, it would help to include an option that translate messages for parents. I also hope to see an option added to communications that allows a time for the message to be selected instead of simply a date.

### "Great Service and Support "

February 19, 2026

4.0

My experience has been great! The trainings are informative and the team at School Cues is always available to answer questions and/or provide support. \[sensitive content hidden\] are both so kind and truly make you feel like a name and not just a number. Families seem to navigate it well also. I actually haven't had one complaint from parents this entire year!

Pros

I love all the modules and the options to select modules appropriate to my school. I love the user friendly layout of the website as well. I find the pricing extremely reasonable for all that comes with School Cues. Best value for the amount of services offered.

Cons

The app seems to need more refinement. Lag time can be lengthy and the interface seems slow. I also wish the calendar was printable and that different font colors could be used on the calendar as well as simple graphics/emojis

### "Improvements in school communication and great features! "

February 10, 2026

4.0

Our overall experience with SchoolCues has been positive. They are responsive to assisting with any needs, although at times explaining an issue via email can be frustrating. Being able to place a call would be so helpful. They have taken the initiative to reach out to me by phone, and that has really been appreciated. Everyone at the company is extremely pleasant and it has been a good experience. We have used SchoolCues for less than a year and are currently going through reenrollment. I know as time passes we will see fluidity in using the system and improvements along the way. There has been some confusion at times, but, overall, we've received positive feedback from our parents.

Pros

What I like most about SchoolCues is the ability to place all documents, such as our handbook, permission forms, newsletters, etc. for our school in a "box" that the parents can refer to at any time. The ability for parents to send notes for sick days and tardies has saved our parents a lot of time, and it is sent to us immediately and marks the student's attendance accordingly! The incident reporting features for conduct, medication administration and praise is a great tool to have since all teachers can see a copy. The ease in getting volunteers for events or parties (no more links and logins to Signup Genius!) and being able to see a report of who signed up for what, and the overall ability to communicate with parents has been terrific. I also like that calendar features can be set for different groups for after school clubs and parents can simply select a calendar with a drop down menu. I love that we have the entire school's parent contact information on our phone in the app for situations, such as field trips. There are many things our staff, teachers, and parents have enjoyed with our switch to SchoolCues. Enrollment and inquiries for enrollment is so much better than what we were using before!

Cons

I think the billing/invoicing parents could be a little more straightforward and simple, and I think overall training is lacking. When going through training, there were never "what-if" scenarios or examples given in training. It was honestly more "click this, click that"--which would already be intuitive to most users. The grades feature has been a learning curve for our teachers with some frustrations along the way, but nothing that was too difficult to work out.

### "Great Product. Great Value. Great Experience."

February 6, 2026

5.0

Great customer service. Incredible product for a great value - thousands and thousands of dollars less than their competitors. It has completely transformed the way that we run our school and our ability to serve our students through cultivating and stewarding student data.

Pros

At Thrive Academy Atlanta, all of our staff loves how easy School Cues is to use. As the lead administrator for the school, I also loved how quick it was for us to set up. In a fraction of a time as other similar software, we were up and running and able to use School Cues to effectively streamline so many processes within our school. The impact on our data and records has been incalcuable.

Cons

Sometimes it has been hard to transfer students between classes, as we have to do because of different student challenges and lack of performance. When we have to transfer a student from a regular class to a modified class, we have to delete their existing assignments... which is difficult.

### "Pretty bad platform over all, not dialed down on many issues. "

January 28, 2026

1.0

Pretty tribble, too bad we missed the window of getting our money back, otherwise we would've gone back to quick books, we did that already for communication, we went back to Bloomz....

Pros

I like having parent teacher interaction, any type of electronic form and the payments on the same platform

Cons

The customer support is terrible, the payments are so hard to maneuver and they are very robust. not easy to work with...just frustrating, Quickbooks way easier to use for payments

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience felt frustrating, especially given the time our support team spent assisting with your setup and questions. We do want to clarify an important point for readers: our platform is purpose-built to support small school administration, including enrollment, family management, and school-specific workflows. We are not designed to function as a general accounting or payments-only tool, so comparisons to products built exclusively for bookkeeping don’t accurately reflect the scope or intent of what we offer. That said, usability and clarity—especially around payments—are important to us, and we take concerns about support seriously. We’re disappointed that we didn’t meet your expectations and are always working to improve how we communicate what our platform is best suited for. We don’t position our product by comparing it to others; it stands on its own in serving schools. We wish you the best moving forward.

### "User-Friendly Platform"

May 16, 2025

5.0

My overall experience with SchoolCues has been great. The platform is easy to navigate and provides a lot of useful features for managing communication and school records. I’ve found their training sessions to be very helpful, and they are always willing to set up a meeting on Fridays or at other convenient times to troubleshoot any issues. Their support team is readily available and responsive, which makes the process of setting up and resolving any concerns much easier.

Pros

What I like most about SchoolCues is how it keeps all attendance records in one place, making it easy to track and manage. The system also makes communication between teachers and parents seamless, with the ability to send updates and messages directly. I especially appreciate being able to input alumni information, as well as creating sign-up sheets for parents for events or activities. It truly helps streamline everything!

Cons

What I like least about SchoolCues is that it doesn’t offer an option to translate messages into another language or switch the language in which you type. Additionally, it would be helpful if we could pull attendance records from previous years. I also would like to allow longer messaging when creating a textcue or sign up sheet details.

SchoolCues has been a wonderful addition to our school. Dr. \[sensitive content hidden\] is so personable and ensures that you have everything you need to be successful. \[sensitive content hidden\] is PHENOMENAL at her job and is so quick to answer any questions. Support gets back to us almost immediately if we have any questions or need help with something. There are how-to videos available directly on your SchoolCues portal if you have something you forget how to do or want to make sure you are setting up things correctly. We were able to pick and choose the modules that we needed for our school. The Admin App makes life so much easier for our administrators and provides information we need while we are on the go. TextCues allows us to provide quick updates to families in a timely fashion. We are going into our third year with SchoolCues and couldn't be happier with the service.

Pros

Our school families absolutely love SchoolCues. They feel like it is very user friendly and has so many things to help make life easier. Being able to pay school fees, submit absence notices, and fill out all student forms in one place is an amazing thing and a time saver for so many of our families. As the school worker that runs our SchoolCues, support always got back to me almost immediately whenever I have a question or needed help with something.

Cons

### "Unified system for a small school"

November 15, 2023

3.0

Overall, SchoolCues has been a great benefit and a good value for the price.

Pros

As a small school just starting up in the last few years, we relied on several different free or paid services for record-keeping, communications, and payments. SchoolCues has allowed us to replace almost all of that with a single portal for staff, teachers, and parents. The biggest benefit has been streamlining and simplifying our admissions process, student records, and collection of tuition and fees.

Cons

The user interface and the way some of the features work is not always very intuitive, and it took some time to figure out how to adapt the enrollment contracts and payments to fit our processes and needs.

### "excellent customer support and personal service with SchoolCues"

April 16, 2025

5.0

From the early days of exploring new systems to using SchoolCues this entire school year, the customer support and responsiveness have been remarkable.

Pros

SchoolCues has moved us from a school that kept paper records to a streamlined student information system that's digital and available for all our staff members. In addition, their customer service is prompt, communicative, and personable.

Cons

SchoolCues doesn't have a good system for sharing photos from staff to families.

### "School Cues Review"

February 25, 2025

5.0

It’s been wonderful! We've been using SchoolCues since November when we had to abruptly switch software applications. The training and transition were smooth, and once we got the hang of the system, it proved to be incredibly reliable. Several other schools I spoke with before purchasing shared similar positive experiences. The platform is easy to use, the help desk is consistently responsive, and it offers many tools that our previous software lacked—all at an affordable price. We highly recommend it to any small school looking for a robust tuition payment collection solution.

Pros

It offers all the essential features our school needs to efficiently collect tuition and fees—without breaking the bank. The platform is user-friendly and includes helpful video tutorials to make getting acclimated seamless.

Cons

A call-in help line would be fantastic, though I understand that most software support systems are shifting away from that approach.

### "Very comprehensive tool for small schools"

October 27, 2025

5.0

Pros

Very comprehensive. We use it for student enrollment, billing and receiving payments, sending emails and texts to parents, parent-teacher conference signups, and more.

Cons

Because it's so comprehensive, it does a LOT, and not every module is as smooth to use as another. For instance, the signups module is not as easy to use as Sign Up Genius, BUT it's all within the same system as everything else, as opposed to lots of unrelated apps. And because they do so many upgrades, there can be a few minor glitches as they roll out the new features, but at least they continue to enhance the product's value. There are some apps that are "cuter" that really appeal to early childhood parents, but of the products that I've seen, SchoolCues offers the most functionality in terms of what schools truly need, especially considering the price.

Overall, our experience has been good. We appreciate all the portals and ease of use of the site. The company has worked with us each step of the way and made improvements when necessary.

Pros

I like the ease of use of the platform. Each portal is very easy to navigate and use. I use the SIS, Payments, and Communications portals the most and these are always easy to use.

Cons

Sometimes, emails do not appear in family inboxes and are directed to junk mail. This may be a setting of the parent. Invoices for parents do not meet FSA and tax guidelines. I cannot send SIS reminders to an individual class or family.

In over a year, this software has made incredible strides. At the rate it has changed, it will be one of the best in the business for the cost of one of the least!

Pros

It is easy to use and customer service is incredible!

Cons

Still some bugs to work out; however, the team was very responsive to issues.

### "SchoolCues is the best!"

January 30, 2025

5.0

The support and development team at SchoolCues has been wonderful to work with! They answer questions promptly when we have them. The \[sensitive content hidden\] of the company is very involved also, which I appreciate. They have plenty of training opportunities (videos, help prompts within the program, and live training classes). They are open and willing to take our suggestions for enhancements to their program as they truly want to make it the best product for small schools. We are glad we found them!

Pros

SchoolCues is easy to use for our teachers and parents! We previewed several programs for our small hybrid school. SchoolCues is not the cheapest option, but it had the items we were looking for (SIS, reports, attendance, admissions/enrollment, gradebook with reporting, a payment portal, parent/teacher conference sign up, school directory, communications, etc).

Cons

The pricing document they shared with us when we first met with them was a little confusing (more complicated than it needed to be). We struggled a little setting up our Gradebook. We are using it, but will do it a little differently next year (our own learning curve).

### "The Premo School's Review of SchoolCues"

August 2, 2022

5.0

Our overall experience has been very positive. SchoolCues has helped our business to be and feel more professional. It's helped hold the organization accountable between school and home and streamlined all the different ways in which schools operate. It's made the process much simpler and has been such a time saver!

Pros

The streamlining of all admissions/enrollment, grade book, and incident reports.

Cons

The grade book function felt very intuitive when I set it up at the beginning of the year, but when the transition to the second semester didn't happen, it was a confusing process to navigate.

Reasons for choosing SchoolCues

Price, availability of SchoolCues to explain their product and answer our questions, and options for schools.

### "School Cues Review"

March 4, 2024

5.0

I am so grateful to the entire SchoolCues team, especially Dr. S. I run a small school and am the only person who works in the administration. Without the help of SchoolCues, I would not be able to do it all.

Pros

I love that SchoolCues is an all-in-one system. I don't really need any other programs to run the admin side of my school.

Cons

Sometimes, simple things can have too many clicks or steps. It makes it hard to remember how to do them.

Reasons for choosing SchoolCues

Because it is an all-in-one system. Busy parents do not need many different apps to choose from.

### "I LOVE Schoolcues!"

October 26, 2020

5.0

Our school opened our doors three weeks before school started. For those in school administration, you know that is a nightmare! SchoolCues was easy to learn and implement. We had it up and running, accepting new students within just a few days. I am not an admin person. I find myself easily overwhelmed when learning new systems and processes like this. I was able to jump in, get it set up and fully functioning without a hitch! Their staff was super helpful and stayed with me until we were set up and accepting students. I like that the system just makes sense. It is very intuitive and I can find my way from step 1 to step 2 without second guessing if I am going in the right direction.

Pros

As a very small Academy, we needed something intuitive and simple. This is our first year to open and we do not have an admin staff, so we needed something easy to learn and implement for the staff that would be using it. We found just what we needed in SchoolCues! SchoolCues is intuitive and just makes sense. It does everything we need and then some. It is a full admissions package from inquiry to enrollment as well as a full communications system for staff and parents. We can charge and accept payments and they are adding new features all the time. I am not a techie person and I use this system the most. If I find that I need help, their support staff is very helpful. They have built in training modules as well as being able to schedule a personal training at anytime. We love SchoolCues!

Cons

At this time, there is no LMS option within the system. I asked about this feature and they said they are planning to add this feature but it is not an option at this time. At this time, the admissions and payment are not connected, so we have to manually input charges.

Reasons for choosing SchoolCues

I had used Renweb with a previous group and so I was familiar with the program. I used it for 2 years and never fully understood how it worked. It was bulky and not intuitive. There was no straight line from point A to point B. There were 15 ways to do everything, which made it very overwhelming. I had also used Powerschool and liked the interface, but it was not as intuitive as I would have liked. Both of these products were WAY out of our price range, but did give me a gauge for what I was looking for.
