There is lots of help available when needed and the program provides lots of training and is easy to use. Pros So far, Gradelink has been very user-friendly and the implementation staff has been very helpful. Ther are lots on online tutorials available as well. Cons I don't really like the look of the product when signed in. The text looks very small. It's challenging when working on my laptop, but this is just a small issue compared to the ease of the product.

Secretary Front Office Religious Institutions ### "KUDOS for GRADELINK" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 February 19, 2026 I am new to the school and new to using the Gradelink system. I adapted quickly and thank the customer service support team for their quick responses and help. Pros The Gradelink system is easy to navigate and use. I am in charge of attendance, report cards, and entering information for enrollment. When ever I am in a jam, there's always a quick response when I call or email. I sent an email this morning and the turn around time was 10 minutes, awesome. It' safe, secure and easy to use. Cons So far, I haven't had an issue that hasn't been resolved with the help of a Gradelink Rep either by phone or email.

Administrator Education Management ### "Exceptional Customer Service with Agent" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 January 15, 2026 This experience reinforced my confidence in Gradelink, and I truly appreciate \[sensitive content hidden\] dedication and excellent support. Pros I had an outstanding experience with the Gradelink customer service representative, \[sensitive content hidden\]. He was professional, patient, and highly knowledgeable, taking the time to thoroughly understand my issue and resolve it efficiently. \[sensitive content hidden\] communicated clearly and courteously throughout the entire process and went above and beyond to ensure everything was handled correctly. He also took the initiative to demonstrate ways to make the most effective use of our plan, which was greatly appreciated. It is rare to encounter customer service that is both this responsive and genuinely helpful. Thank you \[sensitive content hidden\]! We appreciate ALL that you do. Cons would like to note one area for improvement in the overall support process. On a few occasions, I left voicemail messages and did not receive a return call, which was challenging given the time-sensitive nature of my issue. However, once \[sensitive content hidden\] recognized that I was attempting to make contact, he proactively returned my call and immediately provided exceptional assistance. I was working against a tight deadline to resolve a dead link and publish report cards, and his responsiveness at that moment was invaluable. \[sensitive content hidden\] took the time to help me identify the right questions to ask and clearly understand the issue I was experiencing, something I had struggled to articulate despite Gradelink’s many excellent training videos and resources, which I truly appreciate. His ability to quickly assess the situation, guide me through the solution, and offer helpful insights made a significant difference and turned a stressful situation into a positive experience.

Response from Vendor February 26, 2026 Thank you for your very well-thought-out review, Georgemay. We love knowing your experience has been outstanding! NE Nate E. Teacher Education Management ### "I like Gradelink." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 November 12, 2025 Very satisfied. This product fulfills all our needs at a far more reasonable price than its competitors. I still can't get over how good the customer service is. Pros Gradelink is simple to use. It does not over complicate things. Yet, it covers everything we need as a school. I almost forgot this. The customer service is unparalleled in the business world. It is absolutely fantastic. The response time is very short and the help is great. Cons The aesthetic is not great. I feel like the colors and overall theme could be modernized and improved. I would also love it if they made a feature where you could access one student and all his/her grades (and edit them). If a student is absent, it would be nice to enter all their missing grades in from one screen instead of having to click around. Switched from [PowerSchool](https://www.capterra.com/p/175664/PowerSchool/) Too complicated. Too expensive. Too difficult to use.

Response from Vendor November 14, 2025 It’s rewarding to hear that your school is getting everything you need out of Gradelink, Nate! We also appreciate your feedback. We recently redesigned the parent and student portal with a fresh new interface. Our development team is now hard at work on redesigning other areas of Gradelink, so stay tuned for updates. TS Tara S. director Education Management ### "Please do NOT waste your time" 1.0 Overall Rating 1.0 1.0 Ease of Use 1.0 1.0 Features 1.0 1.0 Customer Service 1.0 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 0/10 November 8, 2025 My overall experience is horrible. There is zero support and understanding of what you are getting. I reached out for help multiple times. Pros I have ZERO pros. \[sensitive content hidden\] promised support that was NEVER given. I paid to enroll me and I never received support to make this work. Please do NOT trust this system. Cons There are no pros for GradeLink. This has been the most expensive product. There is no customer support. There is no clear understanding of what you are paying for. I paid for the enrollment package. I really thought my sales person, \[sensitive content hidden\] was trustworthy. He knew I was starting a nonprofit. He nor \[sensitive content hidden\] helped at all. My zoom call with \[sensitive content hidden\] was not soom at all. I never saw his face, however he logged into my computer for a minute but taught me nothing. I spent $1000 and have no program that works. Do not buy this. Go to Skyward or Powerschools. Alternatives considered [Skyward Student Management Suite](https://www.capterra.com/p/2185/Skyward-School-Management/) Reasons for choosing Gradelink I wish I had not chosen GradeLink. \[sensitive content hidden\] made me think it was worth it.

Response from Vendor November 25, 2025 It’s unfortunate that you feel you have received zero value from Gradelink, Tara.

Please reach out to your support rep, and he’ll be happy to help. BC Barbara C. Principal Education Management ### "Outstanding" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 November 5, 2025 My experience has been excellent and I'm really satisfied with both product and support services. Parents too can keep up with grades and progress easily. They are alerted when students receive a poor grade. Texting and emailing between teachers and parents is also easy and timesaving for faculty. Pros Their system is seamless, very user friendly, and fits your budget. \[sensitive content hidden\], our assigned representative in Customer Service, is always available. My questions are always answered professionally and if I run into a snag, she is always able to guide me through adjustments or changes to be made. Cons There really isn't anything negative I can say about Gradelink. My experience is such that I would recommend the program to any school.

Pros Our school's tech support representative \[sensitive content hidden\] has been excellent. He has been quick to respond, giving very specific and helpful responses.
