Choosing a school management information system is a decision that shapes daily admin for years, so it helps to work from a checklist rather than a polished demo.
Start with administrative workload. A good MIS should cut duplicate data entry, automate attendance registers and bring reporting into one place. Ask each provider to show how many clicks a routine task takes, because that number adds up across a full term. Time-poor office staff feel the difference between a system that fits their day and one that fights it.
None of these five questions guarantees a good outcome on their own, but a vendor unwilling or unable to answer any of them plainly before a contract is signed is worth treating as a warning sign, whatever the rest of the proposal looks like.
Data portability is the second essential question, and it should be asked before any enthusiasm about features clouds the discussion. If the school ends the contract in three or five years, can it export its full historical data, in a usable format, without additional fees or delay? Get this answer in writing as part of the contract itself, not as a verbal assurance during the sales process, since it is precisely the point where the balance of power shifts away from the school once a contract is signed.
