Ellucian PowerCampus vs. FACTS Student Information System

We base our entire student data on the Student ID that is produced in FACTS. We create user accounts for technology and online textbooks as well as their lunch account, all based on the Student ID. We also can run many different reports using the SID as the data constant and all the other information variables are available as needed to report.

• Allows full student/family information to be placed in student file.
• Can report from any field of information including custom fields.
• Creates student schedules and Classroom rosters.
• Allows parents insight into grades and discipline as well as lesson plans and daily/weekly classroom topics.

• The new inputting process is a bit complicated.
• Label creation is sometimes hard to get the info you want on the label.
• There is no notification when an email does not go through. You'd have to look it up to know.

It's user-friendly, the customer service is great, and we have a significant amount of time invested in training our faculty and staff to use many aspects of FACTS within their areas of responsibility. I really like the variety of reports I can generate which gives important data to our administration and Board.

I greatly prefer FACTS to the other grade book systems we have used. I think it is far superior to Blackbaud, Renweb, and Edmodo. It is the simplest and most efficient system that we have used. We are so excited about the vast number of options we have at our fingertips with FACTS.
