The fastest growing, most widely used web-based student information system PowerSchool is the leading student information system (SIS) available today, supporting 10 million students in all 50 states and more than 70 foreign countries. Last year, more schools and districts selected PowerSchool than any other SIS product on the market. Today, PowerSchool supports a wide range of implementations – including schools as small as 25 students, districts as large as 80,000 students, and statewide deployments.
Impact to Student Achievement The deep functions of PowerSchool allow today’s educators to make real-time decisions about each student while creating a collaborative environment for parents, teachers, and students to work together to prepare students for the future. Access to real-time information allows student performance to be addressed in a timely manner.

With over a decade of experience as a completely web-based system, PowerSchool stands alone as the deepest and most flexible SIS available to meet the needs of K-12 districts.
