See below stories from real schools on how PAROT simplifies school data, saves hours on admin and reporting, and helps teaching teams focus on what matters most: student success.

"PAROT has been amazing at helping me to track students attendance and achievement quickly and easily. It helps me to see how my own teaching in certain standards has performed over time as well. It makes my job infinitely easier."
— Richard Pittams, Kapiti College (March 2026)

"PAROT is a fantastic piece of software that we have utilised to help with sending relevant communication home to parents each week with attendance and achievement data. It has also made the lives of teachers easier to track student attendance. As the administrator if I have any questions they are always answered quickly and problems solved. PAROT is highly recommended!"
— Peter Blank, Upper Hutt College (March 2026)

"PAROT has saved us heaps of time and provides staff, students and caregivers relevant information in an easy to access format."
— Jon Nash, Hutt Valley High School (July 2026)

"PAROT has become an invaluable tool for our school team. It has saved our staff countless hours across areas, including moderation, STAR attendance, and our curriculum reviews and evaluations—to name just a few. On top of that, PAROT now handles our Board of Trustees (BOT) reporting, streamlining what used to be a time-consuming process into something efficient and straightforward. The platform has reduced our administrative workload, allowing us to focus more on outcomes rather than paperwork."
— Hamish Wood, Ōtaki College (July 2026)

"We have been using PAROT since the beginning of the year. The team have been super helpful and responsive to our requests. Using PAROT+ has meant we have been able to access PLD as well as time spent on developing data sources we have requested."
— Jackie Smith, St John's College (Hillcrest) (July 2026)

"PAROT has changed the way we work as a kura. PAROT has strengthened our data analysis from a leadership level right through to daily conversations with students. The team is responsive to our needs and make things happen to enable staff to just get on with their jobs."
— Martin Bennett, Pukekohe High School (July 2026)

"PAROT has been a lifesaver for usr, particularly for me as Principal's Nominee. Managing NCEA moderation and tracking the co-requisites used to take up way too much of my week, but this has simplified the whole process.
The best part is definitely the team behind it. Whenever I’ve messaged with a question or suggested a minor tweak to fit how our school operates, they reply almost instantly. Half the time, the fix or feature update is done before I even expect it. They actually listen to what PN's need on the ground, which is pretty rare. Couldn't recommend them enough."
— Damon King, Western Springs College (July 2026)

"It is nice to have someone with recent teaching experience that understands the problems and is able to be very quick and responsive finding solutions.  We like the short and regular after school sessions to upskill staff and keep PAROT front of mind for them."
— Alison Spenser, Waiopehu College (July 2026)

"Partnering with Parot has been a complete game-changer for our school's data management and reporting processes.
Parot has streamlined this workflow entirely, creating huge efficiencies across departments. Teachers and department heads can now seamlessly track student progress, identify trends, and intervene where support is needed most without getting bogged down in complex spreadsheets.
One of the stand-out features for us is the visual graphing tool. The clear, intuitive graphs and visual dashboards make interpreting complex student achievement data effortless, especially for non-statisticians.
Parot has also empowered our whole school community from classroom teachers to Board members to make confident, data-informed decisions. We highly recommend Parot to any school looking to simplify data tracking and elevate their reporting."
— Russel Dunn, Tamaki College (July 2026)
