Reachability by region

Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.

What PowerSchool does

PowerSchool is the student information system that a large share of US school districts run, holding enrollment, attendance, grades and scheduling, with parent and student portals on top. Districts sit on numbered PowerSchool hosting servers, and the company also runs Schoology, Naviance, SchoolMessenger and Performance Matters, so one incident can reach several tools a school depends on.

What an outage looks like

The parent and student portal fails to load or rejects sign-in. Teachers cannot take attendance or enter grades, and the gradebook saves nothing. Scheduling and enrollment forms fail partway through. Because districts sit on different hosts, a neighbouring district can be working normally while yours is not. SchoolMessenger notifications and Schoology coursework can fail in the same incident.

What to do about it

Check status.powerschool.com, which lists individual hosting servers such as HOST02 and ADS04 alongside named products including PowerSchool SIS, Schoology, Naviance, Enrollment and SchoolMessenger. Find your district's host, since a district-specific incident appears there rather than on a global banner. Record attendance and grades offline during an outage and enter them afterwards rather than retrying a form that is not saving.

Is it down for everyone, or just you?

If this page says PowerSchool is up but it is not loading for you, the problem is between you and them. Run a check against any URL from all 18 regions to find out where it breaks.

PowerSchool outage FAQ

Is PowerSchool down for everyone, or just my district?
Most often just your district. PowerSchool hosts districts across many separate servers, listed individually on its status page under names such as HOST02 and ADS04, and an incident usually affects one of them rather than all. That is why parents in one town report an outage while a district ten miles away has no problem at all. Find your district's host before assuming it is global.
Does a PowerSchool outage affect Schoology?
It can, because PowerSchool owns Schoology and reports it as a component on the same status page. The two are separate components, so a PowerSchool SIS incident does not automatically mean a Schoology one, but grades and rosters flow between them. If coursework in Schoology is missing students who exist in the SIS, check both components rather than only the one you noticed first.
Will attendance or grades entered during an outage be saved?
Only what the server acknowledged. During a degraded period a gradebook can accept entries in the browser and fail to persist them, which is worse than an outright error because nothing looks wrong until you reload. Keep attendance on paper and grades in a spreadsheet during an incident, then enter them once the status page is clear and verify a sample.
Why can parents sign in when teachers cannot?
The parent portal, the student portal and the teacher-facing gradebook are different surfaces on the same system and do not fail together. A read-only portal serving cached information often survives while the write-heavy teacher tools are already failing. So a parent successfully viewing grades does not mean the system is healthy, and it does not contradict a teacher who cannot save.

How we measure this

  • We request PowerSchool's public endpoint every 6 hours from Fly.io regions across six continents — 8 of them answered the most recent check.
  • A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A 403 or 429 means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage.
  • A single failing region is treated as probe noise. We only change the verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
  • Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
  • Where PowerSchool publishes an official status feed we read it too. An all-clear from the vendor can soften an unconfirmed degradation; a vendor-declared outage only worsens our verdict when our own checks corroborate it.
