Every year middle schools spend countless hours assigning students to classes. It is significantly more complex than creating class lists for elementary and primary schools and requires a more sophisticated solution to truly solve the problem. Class Solver has worked with thousands of educators to develop the world’s first end-to-end solution that seamlessly creates classes for middle schools. > > Verdict: Rated **4.9/5** by 48 users.

It is very intuitive and makes planning very easy. Having the opportunity to create your own categories encourages the team to have discussions about the criteria for placing students in classes. > > **Cons**: Honestly, it works so well, I have nothing else to add. ----- ### "Highly Recommend Class Solver\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jeff** | *16 September 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Class Solver saves time and creates balanced classes without much work. Set up the questions you want to ask teachers, the data you want to collect, and allow teachers to input students who should/should NOT be paired together and then let the software work its magic\! If you feel like something is sub-optimal, or you need to make a change, click the "Boost" button to create the change without having to manually check to see if the change will throw something else out of whack. > > **Cons**: Nothing\! Everything in Class Solver is great\! > > Overall experience has been fantastic\! Teachers have shared that using Class Solver is much better than creating class lists by hand. You can personalize the data you collect from teachers to created balanced classes. If/when you need to make changes, the "Boost" button makes it EASY\! ----- ### "Time is a precious gift" — 4.0/5 > **Sue** | *24 November 2020* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has provided us with a quick and systemic process to sort students into classes while still addressing their individual needs and friendship groups. It allows the people who know them well as a learner (their teachers) to have full input. Initial drafts can be shared and then further discussion, if needed, can be undertaken. Our school also asks for specific feedback from parents and students which can then be submitted using the categoreies. > > **Cons**: We haven't found any to date, however, it is important to walk staff through how it works and give them time to 'play' with it , to build their trust. > > I started using Class Solver in a small Primary school and now use it at my P-12 school also. It has been a perfect tool to use for either. It has saved staff hours of time at the end of the school year when they are tired and inundated with deadlines. It has been a fabulous adjunct to our IT tools. ----- ### "Time savings = immeasurable" — 5.0/5 > **Thomas** | *17 September 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It saved countless hours for teachers, and gave them peace of mind that any last minute changes over the summer wouldn't destroy the carefully crafted class lists they'd created. > > **Cons**: Occasionally the website would be a bit slow to load. It also took a bit of setup the first time, especially training teachers on how to use it (it's very user friendly but teachers are busy people), but it will get easier every year. And it still saved tons of time. > > Overall, Class Solver was a game changer. Being able to see and sort each class list on all the attributes that we've loaded into the system has been great, and the integration with Powerschool was very handy. I especially loved the Boost feature, where it would adjust class lists one swap at a time, and the fact that it flags conflicts when admin moves a student helps everyone make the best decisions for students. Loved it\! ----- ### "Such a time saver\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jill** | *26 September 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Class Solver saved myself and my staff hours of time. It used the data we entered to make well-balanced cohorts in a matter of seconds. In the past, we spent hours studying various spreadsheets and moving names from cohort to cohort trying to create class lists that would set students and teachers up for success. > > **Cons**: There are no cons necessarily. Learning a new platform always has a learning curve. > > My staff was excited about the end product and the ease of using Class Solver. We look forward to building upon the data we have already entered to create even better cohorts in the future. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/248420/class-solver?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/248420/class-solver) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
