Every year middle schools spend countless hours assigning students to classes. It is significantly more complex than creating class lists for elementary and primary schools and requires a more sophisticated solution to truly solve the problem. Class Solver has worked with thousands of educators to develop the world’s first end-to-end solution that seamlessly creates classes for middle schools. > > Verdict: Rated **4.9/5** by 48 users.

As one of the largest K-8 districts in Illinois, we were able to work collaboratively between grade levels and ensure that parent requests or other special requests were honored and archived for years to come. We usually spend months working on placement due to the spreadsheets not meeting our needs, this year, ClassSolver changed all of that, it was user friendly and our representative from the company customized it to meet our unique needs of being center schools. The best purchase I made all year\! > > **Cons**: I honestly can't think of anything that we didn't like about using this tool. Any changes we needed to make due to the size of our building and district, our representative helped us think it through and then customized to meet our needs. > > I feel that this product is a must if you want to have a professional system for organizing and placing students each year. The amount of different ways you can view lists and student characteristics is helpful and the database storing student information is so helpful for anyone reviewing the lists and making decisions. The ease in which you can sort or switch students was helpful and a feature we used often. We were completely satisfied and look forward to utilizing this again each year. Great product. ----- ### "Class Solver - There isn't a problem Class Solver Can't Solve\!" — 5.0/5 > **JILL** | *16 January 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I like most about Class Solver is the time it saves me in creating new classes at the start of the school year. I also like that I can use Class Solver to easily manage cabin allocations for camp. > > **Cons**: There is honestly nothing that I don't like about it. If my school didn't pay for it - I would pay for it myself as it is such a time-saving program. > > My overall experience has been a positive one - the people who work for Class Solver are fantastic, friendly, helpful and could not be more generous with their time and assistance, if required. Customer service is second-to-none. ----- ### "Time is a precious gift" — 4.0/5 > **Sue** | *24 November 2020* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has provided us with a quick and systemic process to sort students into classes while still addressing their individual needs and friendship groups. It allows the people who know them well as a learner (their teachers) to have full input. Initial drafts can be shared and then further discussion, if needed, can be undertaken. Our school also asks for specific feedback from parents and students which can then be submitted using the categoreies. > > **Cons**: We haven't found any to date, however, it is important to walk staff through how it works and give them time to 'play' with it , to build their trust. > > I started using Class Solver in a small Primary school and now use it at my P-12 school also. It has been a perfect tool to use for either. It has saved staff hours of time at the end of the school year when they are tired and inundated with deadlines. It has been a fabulous adjunct to our IT tools. ----- ### "Time savings = immeasurable" — 5.0/5 > **Thomas** | *17 September 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It saved countless hours for teachers, and gave them peace of mind that any last minute changes over the summer wouldn't destroy the carefully crafted class lists they'd created. > > **Cons**: Occasionally the website would be a bit slow to load. It also took a bit of setup the first time, especially training teachers on how to use it (it's very user friendly but teachers are busy people), but it will get easier every year. And it still saved tons of time. > > Overall, Class Solver was a game changer. Being able to see and sort each class list on all the attributes that we've loaded into the system has been great, and the integration with Powerschool was very handy. I especially loved the Boost feature, where it would adjust class lists one swap at a time, and the fact that it flags conflicts when admin moves a student helps everyone make the best decisions for students. Loved it\! ----- ### "Class Solver - Made our lives so much easier" — 5.0/5 > **Yochanon** | *13 November 2020* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Class Solver has allowed our school to have a platform that is reliable and easy to use as we manage shuffling hundreds of students as they progress from grade to grade. It stores the information requests from parents, teachers, and administrators so they are right in front of us as we are making the decisions. It flags conflicts and helps us resolve them. When we had issues or needs the customer support was excellent. They were timely and responsive. They helped us understand how to use the program better, and even uploaded files we needed to avoid lots of human error. With 7 parallel classes per grade having a program available like this was excellent\! > > **Cons**: We found some trouble with viewing all 7 classes at one time unless we resized the screen. We got used to it, but for a school with as many classes as we have it took getting used to. We also value the neighborhood as a criterion and would have liked to see the ability to use some way to harness a better tool for letting us know how far away each girl lives from the others in her class...you could set this up as a criteria within the program and I do not know of a program that does this...the company listened to these issues and worked to help us resolve...but those were the issues we had. > > Very easy to use. Very impressive customer support\! All around excellent tool. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/248420/class-solver?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/248420/class-solver) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
