VERDICT

Should I use QuickSchools?

Fully online school management system with scheduler, parent portal, attendance, homework, grades, report card and more for your student information system. - quickschools.com

Depends. Buy if you run a small or mid-sized K-12 school and want an affordable, well-supported SIS. Skip it if you need online courses (no LMS) or you're a large district needing enterprise scale.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~20 public sources: G2, Capterra, Software Advice, Software Finder, vendor site and legal pages.
