Review Summary
Generated using AI from real user reviews
Gradelink receives overwhelmingly positive feedback, though with some important caveats for smaller schools. The vast majority of users—across teachers, administrators, and parents—praise the platform for centralizing student information, grades, attendance, and communication in one place. Users consistently highlight responsive customer support, regular product updates, and a development team that listens to feedback. The interface is generally described as intuitive and easy to navigate once users become familiar with it.
However, a small but vocal group surfaces real friction points. One small school reported poor implementation support and unresponsive customer service, warning against the product for smaller institutions. Several users note that while comprehensive, the system can feel cluttered and complex, with some tasks harder than they should be and occasional data-loss issues. A few schools found limited customization frustrating, particularly around attendance tracking and assignment display logic. The accounting module has drawn specific criticism for lacking functionality. Some users also mention that initial setup is time-consuming, though support typically helps resolve this.
Most users who invested time to master the platform became advocates, noting strong value for the price. Parents and teachers appreciate transparency on grades and progress. The main trade-off appears to be depth of features versus simplicity: Gradelink packs substantial capabilities, but not every school's workflow maps neatly onto its design.

“Comments: I need more stars to be able to rate…”
Comments: I need more stars to be able to rate Gradelink more acurately!!! I have to say we LOVE Gradelink!!! Best thing we invested in (next to an excellent curriculum of course!) The majority of our students do not live here with their families, but with Gradelink parents are aware of what is happening 24/7. If you recall we have missionary teachers so each year I have a turnover of staff - and all of them love it!! I unfortunately do not use gradelink to it's full potential (just do not have the time to play with it!!) I have one teacher this year who has been a teacher for nearly 30 years, Director of numerous schools, started her own schools, etc. When doing the training about gradelink she told me "Love, I will do it because you are making me use it, BUT - I still want a manual grading book as I don't like these computer things!" I am now so pleased to announce that she is NO LONGER using her manual gradebook (gave it back to me) and now ONLY uses gradelink!! Even her kids called me up to say they can't believe their mom is doing grading on a computer!! The support teams are fantastic (and I am the first to say that I am not an easy customer!) but from customer services to technical support - they are ALL fantastic. No request is too big or too small. If it can't be done now, they don't forget and come back with solutions. Thank you Gradelink - you have made my life soooo much easier!!!

Comments: I came in contact with a problem and couldn't work it out myself. I called customer service and came in contact with Ryan (a five star) who went above and beyond in helping me. I had to take notes as I went. I have contacted your customer service a couple of times and was blessed to talk to Daisy and Axle. With customer service like this you can not go wrong! THANK YOU!

“Comments: Our school opened its doors with Gradelink as our…”
Comments: Our school opened its doors with Gradelink as our student information system of choice. After reviewing several of the competitors we became sold on the product and service offered from Gradelink. Since our first day, we have appreciated the ease of use within the different modules offered in Gradelink, as well as the phenomenal help tutorials connected to each page. Any time we have experienced difficulty understanding one of the many features, the online, phone, and email support has been superb. We appreciate Gradelink's desire to constantly develop to meet the needs of its clientele. We see no reason to ever turn to someone else to track our information. Gradelink is the best!

“Comments: We have been using this software for over a…”
Comments: We have been using this software for over a year and are very happy with it. It has saved us (teachers) so much time when it comes to report card preparation. It also has increased the contact with the home as parents are much more apt to check out their child(ren)'s progress. We are also very pleased with the service provided after implementation. The Gradelink staff is very prompt in answering emails and even answered my request on a weekend I happened to be using it. Well done! I would recommend this website to any teacher in the classroom and any school needing an automated system.

“Comments: We have used another software program for years and…”
Comments: We have used another software program for years and had many difficulties. Because it was not a true online program, connectivity was often an issue. Gradelink has always been reliable and the customer service is OUT OF THIS WORLD. We have been very pleased with the ease of use and functionality. We cannot wait to see the good things coming in the future.
