Your plugin is not intuitive, even reading the little documentation it is hard to find a practical use for it. Don’t get me wrong. What it says it does, it does.
I live in Colombia, and I am a web designer since 2012. I have made hundreds of web pages for companies, bloggers, and especially schools.
I tell you my experience, what we live here in Colombia. Many schools want a website to upload images, place enrollment and registration information. A form, images of the school, links to social networks, a school activities schedule, etc. All of that can be done easily with WordPress.
Again, it’s my experience; there are software that manage enrollment, registration, treasury, accounting, school transportation, cafeteria, etc. But honestly many schools don’t see it as paramount to pay for it (They are difficult software to manage with a learning curve, so they get by with Excel or Google Sheet). BUT THERE IS SOMETHING THEY DO SEE AS PRIMORDIAL: student reports.
Here in Colombia, the school year is divided into “4 periods”. It is graded from 1 to 10, and each subject tends to have 2 to 4 “achievements” to grade in each period.
Big schools tend to contract the “all in one” school software, but honestly small or medium-sized schools do not. But there is something that they are going to hire if or if; and that is the management of student reports, here in Colombia we call it “boletín escolar”.
I particularly have my own method to make up for this lack. I make the school reports in Google Sheets (they are quite complex), then with Autocraf, I export them to pdf; and then I upload them to WordPress. A rather cumbersome process.
A lot of duties the school is going to get by with Excel, Google Sheet, Word. But school reports are something they have to do every 2 months and it’s a complex thing to do; for that a software is a must. If you want your plugin to grow, focus on what people demand the most.
