User Reviews

CTLS Parent is valued for direct communication with teachers and useful alerts, but it is plagued by reliability and usability problems. Users repeatedly cite glitches, a confusing multi-app experience, and data/feature bugs that hinder use. The core messaging capability is a strength when it works, but performance and navigation flaws dominate the reviews.

Pros

Direct line of communication with teachers and the school; easy to send notes.
Alerts/notifications help parents stay informed without constantly checking the app.
More convenient than hunting down staff emails; centers messaging in one place.
App can be very helpful and appreciated once users learn how to use it.

Cons

Frequent glitches and reliability issues; the app often doesn’t function as expected.
Not intuitive or user-friendly; cluttered with too many places/links and messages can get lost.
Fragmented ecosystem requiring multiple apps/logins (CTLS, ParentVue, ParentSquare) causing confusion.
Specific bugs affecting data and features (e.g., calendar duplication, corrupt/opening files).
Limited in-app messaging functionality (cannot directly reply to teachers; often must use separate email).

Recent reviews

CTLS has been ridiculously glitchy & a poor user experience from the beginning, but now it is completely useless! I cannot access any messages from my kids’ teachers, schools or the district. This is a problem as all teachers in the district have been threatened and forced to use this TERRIBLE app to communicate with parents. I’m unable to see information about my kids even though I get the email notifications. Other platforms exist for this purpose - platforms that WORK. Instead this school district decided to give all the money to a friend of the superintendent to build an AWFUL app that instead of helping us to support our students, keeps us frustrated and in the dark. I hate CTLS and everyone involved.

I have had the app for three years and not have had a problem since December 2024 it has been giving me problems and it is now February 2025 and I am still having problems staying logged in. When I tried to login, it is not letting me login and I have my information written down to ensure that I have the correct login information. I deleted the app totally off my phone. Re-downloaded it three different times and this third time it is still not allowing me to login. I am beginning to get a little frustrated with it because I am missing important information on my child that is in the Norton Park elementary I hope something can be done about this. In the meantime I will try to contact the service to see what is the problem. Hope it gets better.
