Schoolwork review
A free iPad app for assignments, assessments, work review, and student progress.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Schoolwork is Apple’s iPad app for teachers and students in managed school environments. It centers on assigning work, assessing learning, and following student progress rather than controlling classroom devices. Teachers can send assignments to a class or selected students, distribute assessments, collect and review submissions, and return scored work. That makes it suited to schools that want a workflow for coursework and feedback on iPad, not a broad classroom-management system for mixed devices or live oversight.
Its strongest fit is the connection between assigned activities and progress review. Teachers can assign activities from compatible educational apps, see class, assignment, assessment, and student progress, and review assessment results down to question-level performance. Exit-ticket surveys provide another way to collect class responses. Collaboration in Pages, Numbers, and Keynote is also supported, alongside ClassKit-enabled educational apps. These capabilities are tied to work and learning activity; Schoolwork does not provide live screen viewing, web filtering, device controls, or behavior tracking. Schools needing those controls should look for a separate solution.
Schoolwork is free, and its listed platform is iPad. Setup depends on Apple School Manager, school accounts, and classes, while progress reporting must be enabled by the school. Support is through documentation. The product is a good fit where those managed-school prerequisites are already part of the environment and teachers mainly need assignment distribution, assessment, review, and progress visibility. It is less appropriate for schools that need device-level supervision, web filtering, behavior records, or platform coverage beyond iPad.
