The SchoolTool Difference

Stable. Secure. Committed.

While every Student Management System should offer real-time data, integrate with your other education-critical systems and programs, and provide the basics like scheduling and attendance, SchoolTool offers several distinct advantages you won’t find anywhere else:

“I had been through a migration process before where I was only tangentially involved, and it wasn’t pleasant. What we went through migrating from our legacy student management system to SchoolTool was a completely different experience. We had very little we had to do. We just had to document the changes we were making until the data conversion was done. It was very hands off for us.”
G. Lambert
Director of IT, Beekmantown CSD
“Making such a large scale change causes a certain amount of angst, but we got to the point where we saw there were quite a few limitations with the system we were using, and it was worth it to move forward and transition to SchoolTool.”
D. Henderson
Director of Computer Services, Victor CSD
“We chose SchoolTool because our secretaries, nurses, and other product users could use it quickly rather than go through a bunch of training. We had looked at other student information systems at the time that had a couple bells and whistles I thought would sway others, but in the end we needed to go with the product that our end users could use with ease. The committee unanimously went with SchoolTool.”
K. Orr
Superintendent, South Glens Falls CSD
