Overview
Many schools still rely on manual processes to manage student, parent and teacher information, classes, grading, and communication. This can be time-consuming and inefficient, and it can lead to errors. In addition, schools often have data silos, where different departments store their data in different systems. This can make it difficult to access and analyze data across the school. Cilantro is a school management system that helps schools of all sizes manage their students, teachers, parents, classes, subjects, expenses, results, report sheets and more. It is a cloud-based system that is accessible from anywhere with an internet connection, by client computers used by school administrators. It has a mobile app for teachers and parents. Cilantro is easy to use and affordable, making it a great option for schools of all budgets.
