Is access the way to go? k-12 project.

[directandy]

Hello everyone. I came across this forum in my search for some answers.

I work for a K-12 School District in Cincinnati and we were looking to create a tool for teachers to use that would document various items related to students and what students are accomplishing (or not accomplishing)

Long story short...a tool that teachers can use to enter data and to pull reports on students. That way when little Johnny's parents want to know why he is failing, the teacher can grab documented information in a timely manner without having to pull a bunch of paperwork.

They would fill out a web based form with information such as the students name, the course, etc.

They would then be able to generate reports as well.

Is access the way to go? I haven't touched the program in 6 years.



Thank you.

you can go anyway you want. With a world of 6+ billion people, you can ask people this same question and get 6+ billion different answers.

I can tell you personally, that I've written two applications for school districts and both clients were extremely happy with what I provided. Those projects basically were asset tracking systems, keeping records of machines, printers, etc etc and their continued valuations for large school districts. As you can imagine, shuffling and storing papers for those reasons would've been a nightmare.
