Which features does a K-12 school need in school management software? The base requirement is a student information system<\/a> with grading, attendance, health records, and parent communication. Admissions, a learning management system, fee collection, accounting, task management, and fundraising extend that base.<\/span><\/p>\n

Classe365<\/span><\/a> organizes these features into eight module groups. The Core plan costs $100 per month for 1 to 100 students. Each add-on module costs $75 per month. Annual billing saves 10%. Pricing was checked on October 15, 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n

This guide lists the features of each module and the plan that includes it. It is written for independent K-12 schools, which the<\/span> National Center for Education Statistics<\/span><\/a> counted at 30,492 schools in 2019 to 2020.
