Jack--

We are in our second year of MacSchool use at Peotone High School and our
first year at Poetone Junior High. While MacSchool has a pretty steep
learning curve, and it features a few non-Mac-like interface processes, It
is an exceptional management tool. It has all of the flexibility of a
mainframe student data management product (demographics, scheduling, grades
and transcript management, attendance, health and discipline records, and
more), and it has a very flexible Reports Manager module that allows you to
custom create any type of report you need.

I think it is a very good product. I recommend it to anyone who has the
time to learn it.
