The boundless mediocrity of PowerSchool
PowerSchool has potential but ultimately falls short of expectations. The interface feels outdated and clunky, making navigation frustrating. It often takes longer than it should to find essential information like grades and assignments, which can be a real hassle, especially when you're in a rush.
Additionally, I've experienced frequent bugs and slow loading times. At times, the app crashes or fails to load, which disrupts my ability to stay updated on my child's progress. Notifications can be inconsistent, leading to missed updates on important assignments or deadlines.
While the app has useful features, such as grade tracking and attendance monitoring, the execution leaves much to be desired. Improvements in the user experience, interface design, and overall stability are crucial for making PowerSchool a more reliable tool for students and parents. Until then, I can only give it a two-star rating.

I would give this app all the negative stars if I could
I’m editing to say that a year later and PowerSchool is still so absolutely bad I’m considering a lawsuit. I WANT TO SEE MY KIDS GRADES RIGHT THIS SECOND. IM SO INFURIATED AND SICK OF THESE GLITCHES.
ITS THE SAME ISSUE EVERY SINGLE TIME. I have never used an app more useless than this one. My user name and password works for the app but not the webpage. You can NOT see your child’s report card only the grades, not the official report on the app. Every single marking period the webpage expires my password, then I set a new one but the webpage says my old one is wrong. Then I try to reset old password and I don’t get an email. The message at the reset screen says “contact you school if you don’t get an email” but my school, my district off nor my districts board members know how to help. I haven’t seen my children’s report card for the last 2 marking periods because NO ONE seems to know how to resolve this. I go to my local FB school and community pages and it’s littered with complaints about PowerSchool because it’s literally the absolute worst app/webpage ever created. The worst, absolute worst.
