AdmissionsPlus vs Kira Talent

AdmissionsPlus is a web-based admissions and enrollment management system for K–12 schools. It follows applicants from inquiry and application through acceptance and enrollment, with tools for communications, decisions, enrollment steps, and document collection. Schools can publish mobile-ready inquiry and application forms, gather recommendations and uploaded documents, and let parents request visits or tours. Those requests can be placed on the built-in calendar. Workflows, requirements, forms, and documents can differ by grade, program, or school across a district or diocese. Charter schools can manage lotteries and waitlists. Families can pay fees online through integrated payment-processing services. AdmissionsPlus integrates with AdminPlus, can operate independently of another student information system, and can export admissions data for another SIS. It is presented for independent, private, charter, and public schools, districts, Parent Information Centers, dioceses, and charter networks. Pricing is available on request. Rediker Software lists support at 800-882-2994 and was founded in 1979.
