Pros I like Schoology because it can be used from grades K-12 and it has everything you need for keeping parents informed. Cons The problem I find I encounter the most is it looks as though a student has not turned in an assignment, but they have and it wasn't graded yet.

It's simple to copy-forward courses each year. Pros The LockDown Browser enabled secure testing within the app. We have wrestled with other options at a device level and the in-browser version is great. There are some really good integrations to other systems as well. Cons It seems like it isn't maintained as well as the rest of the PowerSchool options. I fear that Schoology may not be supported over the long haul. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.

Night Auditor Hospitality ### "Schoology was a great tool for me!" 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 13, 2025 My overall experience with Schoology was great! I never had any issues navigating the system and everything was straight-forward. I can easily find my grades, assignments, modules, and instructor information. A person really only needs about 15-20 minutes to understand the system layout. The only downfall is when there would be software issues with uploading assignments. Pros The main aspect I enjoyed the most about Schoology was layout design of the software. It was very simple to navigate between classes and assignments. It was also very simple to upload assignments and view the instructor feedback. I never had any issues with security so I never had to contact customer support. Cons The only issue I came across while using Schoology is sometimes bugs and issues would happen. There would be times I couldn't upload an assignment due to the software. This issue was easily resolved by contacting the teacher; which they spoke with customer support and figured out the issue.

DS Danielle S. Teacher Education Management ### "Schoology makes communication about your child easy!" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 7/10 September 2, 2025 My child's school did not use it long, and adapted a new software, so I maybe used it a year and a half. Pros All my kids' communications about school in one location! All school records and conversations in one place. Cons Organization through the software opens more windows, if you do not have the app, and can be confusing.

EdTech Education Management ### "Schoology - a great LMS for young and old learners!" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 August 23, 2025 I have worked as an EdTech for 3 years at a district that uses schoology as our LMS. I help teachers get onboarded each year and help them set up their gradebooks and courses. I also offer training on new features. I've had a very positive experience and find our representative to be great to work with. Pros Schoology is a great LMS that has the ability to post a variety of advanced coursework yet has an icon heavy easy to read navigations for young learners. Our district switched to standards based grading and we were able to make a customized gradebook with proficiency scales for standards in schoology. We also love the options for discussion boards and annotations in courses in schoology. Cons It is easy for teachers to share resources with students but not so much between teachers. They can create groups where the post materials for each other to use but there's not the google drive equivalent of "make a copy" for course or other larger material. Teachers end up recreating content from others that could easily be duplicated. Switched from [Google Classroom](https://www.capterra.com/p/186631/Google-Classroom/) Was very limited in how courses could be customized and differentiated.

Jesse Z. Software Engineer Computer Software ### "Outdated UI and Unreliable Site. Average LMS At Best." 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 1.0 1.0 Features 1.0 1.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 2/10 August 8, 2025 This learning management system is average at best, but I definitely do not recommend it as a top option. The UI is completely out of date and the site is overall unreliable. Pros Schoology provides a mobile app that allows you to view grades, access class resources, and turn in assignments as you would on the web. Additionally, it allows users to single sign on with their school Gmail account, which reduces the need for passwords. Cons The UI is generally out of date and the mobile app is definitely not the most user friendly. Additionally, the site doesn't allow you to remove parents associated with students and delete those accounts once you no longer want to check their grades. Also, the site errors out a lot when trying to submit assignments or take tests or quizzes.

AU Anonymous User Teaching Assistant Education Management ### "Gets the job done, but not prettily" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 6/10 August 7, 2025 It gets the job done, but there are better LMS products around, especially from an aesthetic viewpoint. Pros It works; it is reliable and doesn't typically run into bugs or other issues. It has a decent amount of customization as well. Cons It's very ugly; compared to some other common LMS products, it looks clunky and old-fashioned. It also feels like it is not as robust as some other systems. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. KJ Kimberly J. Teacher Education Management ### "The best of the best! " 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 4.0 4.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 June 16, 2025 It was what I used routinely for summer school because it was free to use for teachers. We are now a Goofle school, so I haven’t used it in a couple of years. Pros The ability to recreate a class with ease and hide/unhide assignments makes the school year a breeze to organize! Cons Really nothing of note! In the past, the limit to word docs would have been a hindrance, but it is no longer the case and it seamlessly works with Google apps. Switched from [Google Classroom](https://www.capterra.com/p/186631/Google-Classroom/) Forced to use GC by district, but Svhoology offers more for teachers/stidenta Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.
