DeansList vs HighFive Classroom

DeansList is an online platform for schools to manage student behavior, attendance, communications, family engagement and school operations. Its behavior tools support SEL, PBIS and MTSS, with points, merits, demerits, rewards, consequences and school stores. Teachers can submit behavior or discipline referrals online, prompting instant notifications to administrators. Attendance can be recorded on the web or mobile devices; DeansList says it syncs with most student information systems to avoid duplicate entry. Schools can send families text, email and voice messages with automatic translation into more than 100 languages. They can create custom reports, report cards, letters and transcripts, and build reports using basic web code. Requested integrations may exchange data with SIS, data warehouse and single sign-on systems; named examples include Google Sheets, Jupiter, Illuminate and Infinite Campus. The platform lists Android, iOS and web, with attendance apps also available for Kindle. The School Success Team provides implementation, training, ongoing support and professional development at no additional cost. Pricing is on request. The maker describes the service as for schools, not private individuals.

HighFive Classroom is a behavior-support platform for schools, available on Android and the web. It gives educators data-driven classroom-management strategies, including Educator Support Tips for responding to situations in the moment. Teachers can log behavior quickly to request support, while the product’s progressive logical discipline approach is intended to hold students accountable, repair harm, and help them return to learning. School leaders receive real-time views of referrals, support requests, and behavior trends. HighFive describes working with schools, classrooms, students, and districts, and links to Connection Curriculum resources. Classwide check-ins are described as taking educators less than three minutes. Separate sign-in routes are provided for teachers and administrators. The company is based in Beech Grove, Indiana, and identifies Nathan Maynard as founder and CEO and co-founder. Pricing is paid and available on request. Incident tracking is listed, and Clever Instant Login is supported through the Highfive SSO (Dev) listing.
