What sets you apart?
The scheduler-building engine provides the highest student placement accuracy in the industry. We average 95% accuracy on the first build of a typical HS schedule compared to the industry standard of 40%- 80%. Your schedule is built faster, with fewer conflicts to resolve. Our exclusive “Perfect Placement” solution matrix offers multiple workable solutions to every conflict right at the point of use. This drastically reduces the time spent resolving conflicts. The result is a perfectly balanced, accurate, and optimized schedule that is completed in a fraction of the time.
Why not use our existing SIS to build our schedule?
Most SIS schedulers are database driven and USA Scheduler is mathematically driven. Our engine performs more than 20 million calculations per minute to perfect your schedule. This means high-performance schools will have a dedicated scheduler solution separate from their SIS to increase performance and student satisfaction. We can easily integrate the scheduling data with your SIS so you can preserve your SIS as the backbone for all student information.
Can multiple users have access?
Yes, multiple users can log in at any time. User accounts are synced with the school’s data. The designated administrator(s) can assign access levels and as many user accounts as they want.
SIS integration?
Data turnaround is very important and nowadays is much easier. We can directly integrate with many Student Information Systems. Different options are also available from Classlink, Clever, OneRoster or Ed-Fi. We are a certified partner with Skyward®, providing one-click API import and write-back for Skyward users.
How do you provide support?
We provide live online support via a video call with a US-based consultant. We don’t use chatbots as they are less effective for our clients’ specialized needs. This is included in the price. There is also standard email support.
How does your scheduler get such high accuracy?
We have a separate and proprietary schedule build engine that is algorithmically based. It is capable of speeds of over 20 million calculations per minute. Our engine is patent pending and has been continually refined and improved for 10 years. This results in our scheduler getting the highest accuracy on the first build.
How quickly can you build my schedule?
Once your data is imported into our engine, you can perform the first build of the schedule, which will be finished in a matter of minutes. This first build averages 95% accuracy. We will provide training and prompt support to answer any questions you have about refining and perfecting your schedule.
Can you help improve and optimize performance?
Yes, we have worked with multiple schools and independent consulting firms in Education over the years. USA Scheduler is the result of 10 years of research and feedback from schools in the US and internationally. The result is a scheduling application that can handle various scenarios based on real-life needs.

How are schedule conflicts resolved?
Other systems use a conflict matrix that only identifies what the problem is. We have improved on this with our proprietary “Perfect Placement” automated conflict/solution matrix that not only identifies the conflict but offers multiple workable solutions at the point of use. This substantially reduces the time you spend resolving scheduling conflicts. Large campuses resolve all their conflicts in only a few hours.
Do the class sizes get balanced?
Yes, in most cases, classes are all balanced within two students of your optimal class sizes.
Does your software have any Intelligence?
Yes, we’ve worked with many counselors, APs, principals, and consulting firms – we’ve taken their insights and added them to the software. In this way, the software has “learned” and can adapt to various scheduling scenarios when an issue arises, our software checks to find a known and workable solution to fix the problem.
Does your software decrease scheduling time?
The most common feedback we receive is the amount of saved time. It is common now to get a better schedule in a dramatically shorter time period – as it should be.
Does your solution take into account Spe-Ed?
Yes, special education students are very important, and our solution caters to students with special scheduling needs. We have a dedicated app within our scheduler specifically for help with scheduling Sped students.
Can we try different scheduling scenarios?
Yes, you can build different schedules, and we encourage it. You can also run the scheduler in a virtual environment to evaluate the results.
Is USA Scheduler expensive?
USA Scheduler offers competitive, all-inclusive pricing designed to deliver maximum value. By saving significant scheduling time and creating optimized schedules that balance classes and maximize teaching resources, our solution quickly pays for itself. Unlike tiered or itemized pricing models, our single price covers everything—full access to our scheduler, comprehensive training, ongoing support, and maintenance. No hidden fees, just straightforward value. And we don’t invoice until we’ve completed your first build. We aim to delight our customers and continue earning their trust and business.
Will your scheduler save my district money?
The short answer: Yes!
Your counseling and administrative staff will no longer spend weeks—or even months—grappling with spreadsheets. Our solution streamlines the process, reducing scheduling time to just days. The time saved allows your team to focus on what truly matters: engaging with students, enhancing the learning environment, and driving better educational outcomes.
Schools with tight budgets often feel pressured to hire additional staff to accommodate growing enrollment and course demands. With our intelligent build engine, every class, course, teacher, and student is strategically optimized. This streamlined approach frequently reveals that schools can meet their needs without adding staff—unlocking significant savings while maintaining quality education.
