PowerSchool SIS
K-12 Student Information System
PowerSchool SIS is a comprehensive system with extensive, configurable features to meet the needs of schools and districts of all sizes and types, including public, charter, private, international schools, and more.
PowerSchool’s strength is flexibility, and because of that flexibility, a school district can align PowerSchool’s presentation of information more closely to its vision for what matters to students. The information they receive from their SIS is presented not in a way that serves some prototype school district, but in a way that has been tailored to their specific school district.
