It was easy to set up and a switch from traditional grade reporting to standards based grade reporting was also easy to manage. Our teachers are also able to use it to report absences. > > **Cons**: We manage discipline and log behavior reports on here and teachers have commented that there is not enough flexibility in how things are reported and it does not always fit the student. > > We use it for student attendance, data, demographic information \& family contact information and grade reporting. It is reliable and able to generate all of the reports we need. ----- ### "A "YES" for me when using Frontline SIS as an educator" — 5.0/5 > **Jessica** | *2 April 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that everything is in one place which makes it easier for me to update student records as needed. I can easily see attendance, grades and a student's schedule all centrally located. It is also user friendly for teachers, admin and parent through progress book. > > **Cons**: There can be some nuances like when the system is down, or when we need support. Just typical glitches with any software program, but technical problems can sometimes cause frustration when you are in a rush to get something done. > > Overall, a 9/10. While it can have some issues with glitches or technical problem. Once you understand the software it is pretty user friendly. ----- ### "Progressbook by Teacher" — 3.0/5 > **Janie** | *23 February 2020* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: The last update which included automatic saving has been a game changer. I no longer have to remember to click save. I like the ease of setting up different methods of calculating and excluding grades. The reports it generates are easy to make. My district only uses Progressbook for grade entering so I'm not sure about the other features. > > **Cons**: Progressbook is sometimes slow to load or open new windows even when the internet works fine with other websites. ----- ### "Pretty easy to use" — 4.0/5 > **Jennifer** | *10 March 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about Frontline SIS is the ease of use. I also like the data management for school. > > **Cons**: What I like least about front line is sometimes it glitches or just does not work like it should but that's not too often. > > My overall experience with frontline SIS has been mostly great with very few issues and a good value for the money. ----- ### "Frontline Review" — 4.0/5 > **Jennifer** | *31 March 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love that it is easy to use, easy to see totals and keep track of absences and attendance and easy to navigate. > > **Cons**: In order to see your totals there are a few places to click that you have to look for. I would like for it to be easier to locate. > > I love that it is simple to use, easy to keep track of past absences and future requests for time off. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/319359/frontline-sis?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/319359/frontline-sis) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
