Impressive Software with Unmatched Customer Support
My dealings with Parent Locker have all been pleasant. The reliable software is paired with top-notch customer service support.
- The user-friendly interface makes it easy for me to navigate and utilize all of the features effectively
- I can confidently say that in addition to their Financial module being the best I’ve used so far, their customer service is nothing short of exceptional
- I am always met with prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable responses
- While the system is very user friendly, sometimes I don't know how to access the information I need and have to email PL for assistance
- They are always very accommodating

We worked on two platforms prior to PL that were not robust enough to handle our needs. Parent Locker came highly recommended were able to give us what we need.

TADS was clunky and not user friendly, for both our parents and on the back end. The systems was full of unnecessary layers and required time consuming and manual processes in order to process anything. We were promised that they would work with us to customize things to our needs - and they didn't help with one single item. We couldn't run the reports we needed and processing any tuition changes in the system took exponentially longer than it should have.

Two thumbs up to Parent Locker!
The admissions process and parent access to information has been so much more efficient with Parent locker. Data about the school is at our fingertips which has made everything more efficient. We looked at many different database solutions for schools - most of them sky-high expensive, complicated and not affordable for our small school - and we found Parent Locker to be the most easy to use and meeting our needs.
- From creating a form to getting the link up on our website to getting submitted forms into our database, Parent Locker has made the admissions process so easy
- The software seems very intuitive and easy to use
- Our families so appreciate being able to submit an admissions form on their phone while they're on the go
- I also love how quick it is to generate a report for any data you need
- If I receive a spontaneous request from the board for enrollment data, it takes me five minutes to generate a report
- I've found the customer support really good - they usually respond within 24 hours, and they are always dedicated to helping you until your problem is resolved
- Plus they will continually make improvements to their software based on customer feedback - there aren't many companies you can say this about
- We've been so happy with their product and their responsiveness to our needs, we still can't quite believe we have such a great product at that price
There are a couple of things we are currently unable to generate in a data report - for example, we can't generate a report of students who have left the school so attrition trends are still a little challening to document in the database - but anything we can't do from our end, Parent Locker will do for us and get the info to us, which is so appreciated

While TADS was affordable, it was not user-friendly - on the school end and on the parent end - their customer support was poor, and they also told us information about their database that turned out to be false.

Unbelievable Bang for buck
We are using ParentLocker as the back end for all of our school systems. We were able to roll it out in a very short period of time and have been up and running. The low learning curve is one of its greatest assets. Another is how quickly it added features to adapt to the pandemic. Daily homework emails changed times to be daily schedules, contact tracing and screenings were added along with Zoom integration and more quickly accessible Google Classroom integration. New features are developed all the time.
- Parent Locker took a complicated system, a school database, and made it extremely easy to use by simplifying the interface
- Where other systems use complicated and heavy SQL type databases, PL seems to run a much more lightweight system
- While this might sacrifice some power in theory, we have rarely had a task that we needed to run which couldn't be run natively
- When we did, support came through in unbelievable timing to either run or develop to the functionality for us
- The company is somewhat small
- While the company is growing, I had some reservations about the age and size of the company on its long term viability
- This has proved to be a moot concern as the company has continued to build and develop and is going strong
- I am still nitpicking but this is still my greatest concern with the software if forced to pick one
Why they chose it
"The pricing and features were just a much easier transition. It had what we wanted in a simple interface for a price we could afford."

Great modules, easy to use and affordable
ParentLocker is an outstanding all-in-one platform that excels in managing admissions, attendance, finance, student scheduling, and parent communications. The are constantly improving the user experience with new features based on user feedback.
Their platform is user-friendly and versatile, but the standout features for me are the tuition management and dismissal modules
- Each person can create and save reports, but not share them with my colleagues

- I find Parent Locker very easy to use; it serves as a great one-stop shop for keeping track of various school-related functions
- We utilize it for tracking tuition payments, managing admissions, and monitoring attendance
- Additionally, we use it for sending out school emails and updating school directories
I would like Parent Locker to be able to have more custom reports available especially for the financial portal
