Parents can update their dismissal plans without us being involved, as well as adjust for carpools and even afterschool activities or sports. Overall the UI is sleek and clear, it is not overly complicated for us or for parents to use, and they are relatively responsive around bugs or issues we are experiencing. Compared to other alternatives, we feel comfortable with maintaining it as our go-to software for managing to transfer of students during the schoolday. > > **Cons**: While SchoolPass is indispensable to our organization, it has been less responsive since its acquisition by Raptor in terms of responding to bugs or other issues. There are some difficulties around common scenarios such as splitting siblings with different dismissal plans, or occasional glitches for our teachers who are awaiting their students to pop up on the app so they can be released. > > SchoolPass is something that we use widely. From parents, to teachers, to administrators, it seems that everyone is able to learn how to utilize the app very quickly without much confusion. This is not the case for most technology we use, and SchoolPass is exceptional in that its adoption is so user-friendly for newcomers to our organization. ----- ### "SchoolPass is Great" — 5.0/5 > **Rylie** | *28 April 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: SchoolPass is easy to use. The visitor management tab is organized and efficient. My school uses it to make the check in/check out process smooth. > > **Cons**: The layout is hard to follow at first, but once you get used to it, it becomes easier. The search bar is very specific. > > Overall, SchoolPass has improved the checkin/checkout proccess for our students. It is also helpful to keep track of visitors as well. Safety is very important to our school. ----- ### "SchoolPass - Noble purpose with unrealized potential" — 3.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *21 March 2023* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked that the overall concept is good. The ideas presented and the problems that SchoolPass is setting out to solve are problems that need a solution. Ultimately using SchoolPass is still probably better than keeping track of everything manually, but the system has so much more potential and capacity to be truly good. > > **Cons**: There are many details that are either intentional choices or have been left unresolved that make the overall experience hard to enjoy, especially in the light of how expensive the product is. They give the admins a surprisingly limited amount of customization options and force you to reach out to reps if you want to toggle certain options on or off or make things required or not. It would benefit both parties to simply provide all of the available options to the admin user and then train them once on how to use them rather than forcing so many contacts to customize the product. Portions of the product were also simply oversold - specifically its ability to integrate with certain SIS programs. The app itself also struggles to keep up with changing iPad technology and crashes more frequently than I'd expect it to. There are many details about areas such as dismissal queue, parent notifications, and reporting that don't always make a lot of sense such as the dismissal queue forcing you to add students to it even when the SchoolPass software is aware that they are absent for the day or left early. Currently, the browser interface for the product is a bit on the inconvenient side. There is an older and newer "view" for the browser interface. Much of the functionality of the program has been migrated over to the newer view, however not all of it has. Knowing which view to use for what you'd want to accomplish can create a lot of searching for the right options. > > While ultimately the product is probably better than doing things manually, I wouldn't say it has saved us much in the way of time or work, but simply shifted the same amount of work to something that is more trackable and reportable, which, while beneficial, isn't the entirety of what we were expecting from the product . I do think if there is more development work put into it, that SchoolPass' quality will be more fully realized at some point in the future, which is my hope. While I have only dealt with primarily one rep, he does seem willing to help, it's just that for many of these details or issues there aren't really answers to provide or solutions to offer. It simply is the way that it is and we have to work with it. I do think this is a very expensive SAAS offering for what it does currently. If you're considering using it, I'd definitely make sure that the SIS you use is FULLY supported and weigh the cost vs time savings here because so far for us, I'm not confident in saying that the time savings/workflow optimization has been realized enough to justify the cost of the product. I'm cautiously hopeful that as the product is developed that balance will be achieved. ----- ### "Better communication and safety" — 5.0/5 > **alifah** | *13 August 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: One of the best way to have communication between school and families. And allowing parents to be involved in their child/ren's life at school. > > **Cons**: It is not something all school can afford and can therefore not be implanted in many schools. The cons with having SchoolPass is that sometimes the system can be down. > > Really enjoy using it, as we have seen a difference in the schools relationship with families. As well as monitoring those who are coming in and out of the building with is VERY important when it comes to keeping children safe. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/325263/schoolpass?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/325263/schoolpass) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
