Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Tyler SIS is our student information system. We've used Tyler SIS for over 20 years. Tyler SIS houses all of our student information as well as our staff information. You can look up student grades, attendance, discipline , etc. Additionally, you can use it for your staff. We pull reports of staff data such as addresses and phone numbers.

Pros

Great for Missouri
IEPs
Easy to use

Cons

Sometimes it feels like things are buried.
You have to know where items are to use them
Looks like it's from the early 2000s

Likelihood to Recommend

Tyler works great for Missouri schools. They are a Missouri company and they follows DESE very closely. They offer a full suite of products that most others will charge for. Their IEP program is great and they offer lunch programs as well. Overall, Tyler SIS is a great student information system.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

My entire school district uses Tyler. It is used for communicating with families, entering grades, and tracking all other information for students in the district. It allows us to track attendance, state assessment results, and transcripts (among other things). It is our single source for all information for students. For teachers, it gives them the ability to send mass emails to the parent(s) of every student, or just select students, without having to look up the contact information for each student. Tyler SIS has been a great upgrade for us as a district since our previous system. For administration, Tyler SIS gives the ability to pull data based on different criteria in order to build lists of students. For example, this data pull has been used to isolate students eligible for an intervention project, which could then be sifted through by educators in order to prioritize students according to need. Tyler SIS can also be used to track attendance and pull reports to see which students have more than a set number of tardy or absent marks in attendance.

Pros

Consolidated source of information
Easy access to contact information
Gradebook system has many helpful features

Cons

So many features, many we don't know how to use.
We have had regular issues with the website not working.
Comment system for report cards needs sorting (or a search option).

Likelihood to Recommend

When it comes to tracking grades and attendance or even just entering grades and attendance, this has been the best system I have used in fifteen years in education. The administrative side has many features and tools that allow us as a school or district to identify students that would benefit from specific interventions. Overall, it has been a great product for us. I am not aware of any scenarios where Tyler SIS is less appropriate than other products.

Great Student Information System

Rating: 8 out of 10

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Tyler SIS is being used in our school district to hold all student information. It is being used across our entire school district: elementary, middle school, high school, and learning center. The problem that Tyler SIS solves is that it allows for administrators and authorized users to view student information when needed for various reasons. Teachers also can take attendance of students who are present during that school day.

Pros

Keeps information secure, safe, and encrypted.
Student information is easy to navigate when needed by authorized users.
Allows for teachers to have their classes organized to take attendance easily.

Cons

Need for labels of all of the navigation pictures. It is difficult for me to know what button I am clicking into if I haven't accessed that part of the software in a while.
It would be nice to have a tutorial to know how to navigate the software better. It can be difficult to navigate at the beginning.
Remove the "BULLETIN" section.

Likelihood to Recommend

Tyler SIS is well suited to take attendance, and retrieve student information when needed. It is less suited when needing to pay a lunch balance or access the gradebook. It can be difficult to navigate the software with all of the different functions. A tutorial would be helpful in this realm to help the ease of understanding the software.
