While not perfect, Blackbaud is all ears to independent school needs
Overall Satisfaction with Blackbaud Education Management Solutions
St. Catherine's School uses Blackbaud education management for all divisions (age 3 through grade 12) for a student body of 100. We use the solutions for student information and learning management.
Pros
- Helps students and parents track progress.
- Helps teachers organize and present content, assessments, assignments and grades.
- Helps administrators manage enrollment.
Cons
- Interoperability between Blackbaud products ,not one database for all products
- Blackbaud solutions are expensive, but make the task of operating a school worth it. Updates are continuous and they seem to listen to the school's needs.
- Blackbaud cares about the mission of independent schools and is dedicated to providing solutions.
