Our verdict on SchoolGrid
SchoolGrid is web-based elementary master scheduling software for principals, assistant principals, office managers, instructional coaches, and support staff leads. It brings classrooms, grades, specialists, interventions, services, lunch, recess, staff availability, and paraeducator coverage into one workspace. Schools can generate schedule drafts from configured rules, compare scenarios, check conflicts, and publish or export schedules. Pro supports teams managing up to three school sites.
Pricing is structured around a free evaluation and two annual paid plans. The Free plan supports preparation for one school with actual classrooms, staff entry and roster import, account saving, and personal backup. Schedule building, editing, and publishing are available for a 30-day evaluation. Plus costs $99 per year for one school or site and adds up to 15 drafts, Auto-Build Draft, ongoing editing, coverage support, file import and export, and publication through Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive. Pro costs $499 per year, includes everything in Plus, expands coverage to up to three schools or sites with unlimited drafts, and adds priority email support plus three hours of video-conference onboarding.
The strongest fit is a school team managing detailed elementary constraints rather than a broad student-information or student-group scheduling workflow. SchoolGrid can account for staff availability, planning time, specialist assignments, services, coverage needs, rooms, lunch, and recess, then flag double-booking, overlapping services, room conflicts, and schedule gaps. Paraeducator assignments and shortage tracking add useful operational detail for support planning. Its web-only delivery and focused elementary scope make it less suited to teams needing a wider scheduling environment. Choose SchoolGrid when automated draft generation, scenario comparison, conflict checking, and coverage planning are central requirements; consider an alternative when platform breadth or student-group scheduling is the priority.
