### "Use it one time per year to move kids into their homerooms for the following year."

June 6, 2022

5.0

We are quite happy with the results. The first year we tried it with only grade three. Those teachers sorted their baseball cards and used Class Composer. They ended up being almost identical in results. That was pretty good!! We want balanced classrooms and this saves time.

Pros

This saves our teachers an enormous amount of time. We used to make "baseball cards" on index cards for each student and then they would lay them out on the conference room table and try to figure it out. It was time consuming and I had to break up a few fights!!

Cons

Since we only use it once a year, we have a "learning curve" each year!

Reason for choosing Class Composer

One of our teachers heard about this product when she was at a training session with teachers in other districts. When she heard about it, we took advantage of a free trial and then we bought it the following year. I think it has been three or four years that we have used the product. Ed helps me each year and I appreciate his efforts!! He is patient and kind!

### "Class Composer for our school"

April 15, 2022

5.0

Because we use it so infrequently, it is difficult to recall the specific steps to navigate it.

Pros

This makes class assignments super easy!

Cons

It is a very expensive purchase for annual use. We have not found it helpful for any other purpose.

### "Efficient and effective"

August 25, 2022

5.0

We have loved the experience using this software and recommended it to the other elementary schools in our district. Also, the technical support was always immediate and helpful!

Pros

We have been so impressed at how user friendly the program is and how much time it has saved us versus the old pink and blue card way of building classes. Our data clerk was even more impressed at the ease for her to download the report to use for entering student schedules.

Cons

We have multiple types of classes on the same grade level: English, Spanish Immersion, and Dual Language. We would have liked to be able to set these up separately so that the "compose" option could be used on just one program versus all of them.

### "Class Composer Helps with Data Driven Decisions"

May 19, 2022

5.0

Pros

The management of student information all in one place is awesome! We can easily keep track of student academic data that helps us make "data driven decisions" about Sped and Title students.

Cons

The stuff I forget about setting up the next year to create classes. This is more a me problem not a software problem.

Reason for choosing Class Composer

Because it is the easiest to use, customer support is great and it complies all of the important information that needs to be sent from one grade level to another.

Class Composer has met our class grouping needs. We are able to make the best decisions for children in an organized way. I highly recommend this product to all school districts.

Pros

Class Composer is very easy to navigate. It is teacher/Admin friendly and collects data that is custom to your needs.

Cons

Honestly, there is nothing I do not like!

### "We Give Class Composer an A+!"

June 9, 2022

5.0

Pros

Implementing Class Composer gave my school an objective method of building classes based on student data. The administrators and faculty love the student cards, which were customized to reflect the school's climate and culture. The historical data is invaluable, and allowing the algorithm to sort students allows for heterogenous classrooms. In addition, the help desk is responsive, and goes above and beyond to ensure that its customers are satisfied.

Cons

The only suggestion I would offer is to notify users of updates, such as the future picture option.

### "Class Composer Review"

April 21, 2022

5.0

I've been very pleased with the support provided. Being new at it, I have questions that are answered very quickly. The team is extremely helpful and willing to help in every way possible.

Pros

I like the visual of seeing the color-coded classrooms and being able to have multiple eyes on the class lists without the paper trail. Also, having the continuity from year to year is extremely valuable.

Cons

No Cons so far. Just trying to learn the system to help others be efficient and create the optimal classroom lists.

Reason for choosing Class Composer

I used it briefly a couple of years ago and had great feedback from the staff.

### "Class Composer Rocks "

July 20, 2022

5.0

Pros

Class Composer is very easy to use and makes the rollover from one year to another simple and streamlined. We can adjust classes and see updated class makeups without the old fashioned card shuffling process that we used to have to go through.

Cons

No, there was nothing missing from the Class Composer software.

Class Composer has allowed our school to focus on student needs during the class list process because it does the rest of the work for us!

Pros

Class Composer allows staff to see the overall data picture and drill down to student specific needs. The historical data is so valuable to our process.

### "Class Scheduling "

April 20, 2022

5.0

We are new to Class Composer. So far the initial setup has been simple and self-explanatory. Customer Support is great.

Pros

Class Scheduling is a critical part of preparing for upcoming school year. We are new to Class Composer, but our setup experience has been great, and we can't wait to see the finished product.

Cons

Only inconvenience I have found is not being able to delete/ archive a group of students. Deleting 1 student at a time is too time-consuming. Thankful customer support has been top-notch. They have come to my rescue and fixed my issues promptly!
