Our verdict on SWIS
SWIS is an online behavior information system for schools recording student behavior referrals and turning that information into reports. It is designed for school teams implementing school-wide positive behavioral interventions and supports. Administrators can route referrals for review, examine patterns, compare trends, and control access by role. SWIS Mobile supports referral entry away from a desktop, while the broader SWIS Suite includes CICO-SWIS, I-SWIS, and EC-SWIS for related intervention workflows.
Pricing is organized by the number of SWIS Suite applications. One App costs $500 per school per year and includes SWIS, CICO-SWIS, I-SWIS, or EC-SWIS, with all features and reports included. Two Apps cost $875 per school per year, and Three Apps cost $1,250 per school per year; both include all features and reports. TIPS Meetings is available to active subscribers for $15 per month or $180 per year. There is no free plan or free trial, and refunds are unavailable for the remainder of a subscription term. Bulk discounts are listed for schools subscribing across 20 or 40 schools.
The strongest fit is a school or district that needs structured referral capture, administrator review, and PBIS-focused analysis. Custom fields, draft referrals, roster imports, drill-down filtering, exports, and SIS data integration support established data workflows. Named integrations include PowerSchool, Aeries, Infinite Campus, Skyward, Alma, Illuminate, Synergy, DataLink, and SDEX, with web, iOS, and Android access. Schools that want a focused referral analytics system should consider SWIS; teams prioritizing broader positive reinforcement or intervention-planning capabilities should compare products built around those workflows.
