Integrations to our Gradelink system makes it so teachers can grade in Classroom and it auto-transfers to our SIS. Extremely helpful\! The process to return digital submissions can feel a little arduous but once learned is worth the extra step. > > **Cons**: The assignment return process. It seems a bit much but is a necessary step to getting students their files back again. > > Overall, Google classroom has been a very helpful addition to our school tools making submission and grading (even with comments) super easy\! ----- ### "A Practical LMS that Gets the Job Done" — 4.0/5 > **Tersen** | *27 February 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The interface is clean and intuitive. Teachers can set up classes, post assignments, and organize materials quickly without a steep learning curve. Our school already utilizes Google Drive, Docs, etc. so it is a natural fit. You also cannot beat the price (free), which gives it a leg up on competitors. > > **Cons**: Its simplicity is also its biggest weakness. It is lacking in advanced functionality such as possessing a less robust gradebook and limited customization. > > Classroom is a streamlined platform that is ideal for schools looking for a free, easy to use LMS that is tied into Google's ecosystem. It is particularly strong for straightforward assignment management and basic student-teacher communication. However, if your needs include advanced analytics, rich built in interaction tools, or highly customizable workflows, Classroom may feel a bit limited. ----- ### "User friendly learning platform" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *22 July 2026* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Insightful and easy to use interface for both teacher and student. Collaboration feature with Google Drive, Slides or Meet is smooth. Also it allows easy submission and creation of assignments or tests. It is worth every penny. > > **Cons**: It has limited layouts and custom options for courses, also only provide basic features for data analysis. Found issue connecting with customer support at times. > > I have used Google classroom as both teacher and student and I rarely found ay bug or issue while using it. It's user friendly interface ever intimidated me but yes It's customer support need to improve a little. Although it is providing great service in education as it is free or takes negligible fee for education. ----- ### "Great in theory, awful for actual classroom use." — 2.0/5 > **Meg** | *20 December 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love how easily I can link it to Google Docs and how I can store feedback comments. > > **Cons**: The ways in which to organize content is greatly lacking. The gradebook glitches and there are minimal ways to grade/label content that has been submitted. > > Awful. Parents can't see grades. Students get confused about where to find content. It doesn't automatically make a copy of docs for students. ----- ### "Googles Classroom" — 4.0/5 > **Mark** | *6 June 2026* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is easy to use and one can set up the grading scale how they would like it. The options are very simple. > > **Cons**: It sometimes crashes when I have been inputting too much information. The it’s speed is not always the fastest > > It is simple and can be adjusted to fit the applicable needs of a classroom and is able to merge into some of our existing applications for school ----- Page: 1 / 117\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/186631/google-classroom?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/186631/google-classroom) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
