Essex Town School District is using MMS. We use a single database for three 500 student schools. Being modular it is cost effective we started with the basics and have added additional modules. It does require good network connections. The report writer is neat, easy to use. You can add hundreds of your own data fields. If you want more detail just call.

What are schools using for their student information systems? Here in Barre we are using Pearson Education Systems "Chancery SMS" (web-based for K-8) and Chancery MacSchool (9-12). While the current solution is working, and is integrated (via a replicator), there are changes afoot.... Pearson has repositioned SMS as a product for middle to large school districts (their documentation states "30,000 students" as a starting point). Barre has roughly 3k students. We've also been told that MacSchool is going to go away at some point (date unknown). For K-8, SMS is used for electronic standards-based report cards, gradebook (middle school), electronic attendance, behavior incidents, transportation and transfer of student info between our 2 K-8 schools and the SHS/BVT campus. For SHS/BVT, MacSchool is used for report cards, eclass gradebook, behavior, and attendance. So, we're wondering who is using what for a SIS.....and does it fit your needs? comments?
