Over the past 12 months our school transitioned from an in-house school management system that was accurate and comfortable, but disconnected due to the demographics of the infrastructure, to the STARS School Management System. We elected to convert to the STARS web based system because of its affordability and adaptability to our processes that we felt were strong and successful for over 20 years.
It was a big decision to transition from an in-house system that was comfortable and about 98% accurate, and if we were going to grow we knew that we needed to take the step. The staff continually states on a daily basis how pleased they are with the change.
The biggest selling point to us was the ability to customize it for our needs while still having the opportunity to contribute to the future programming improvements and updates necessary to meet the ever changing demands of our regulatory.
For over twenty years, I have worked in the school business and I have had the opportunity to work with multiple school management systems, and I believe that this system is the best one. I base that decision on the ease of using the system, the accuracy of the data, the real time updates, and more importantly the customer service that is exceptional.
