ParentSquare, the trusted leader in school-home engagement for K-12 districts, today announced it has been named to G2’s 2026 Best Software Awards, placing No. 1 on the Best Education Software Products for Classroom Messaging. As the world’s largest and most trusted software marketplace, G2 reaches over 100 million buyers annually. Its annual Best Software Awards rank the world’s best software companies and products based on authentic, timely reviews from real users.
This recognition reflects what happens when engagement becomes foundational. As the unified communications platform for K–12, ParentSquare connects every family and empowers districts to strengthen community, support educators, and drive measurable student outcomes.
“Fifteen years ago, we set out to solve a fundamental challenge in education: how to reliably connect schools and families across languages and access barriers,” said Anupama Vaid, President and Founder of ParentSquare. “That focus on connection shaped our growth from two-way communication into a platform that brings attendance, payments, websites, and more together in one place. Districts continue to navigate fragmented systems, and recognition in G2’s Best Software Awards reflects the impact of simplifying that complexity.”
“As buyers increasingly shift to AI-driven research to discover software solutions, being recommended in the ‘answer moment’ must be earned with credible proof,” said Godard Abel, co-founder and CEO at G2. “Our Best Software Awards are grounded in trusted data from authentic customer reviews. They not only give buyers an objective, reliable guide to the products that help teams do their best work, but they’re also the proof AI search platforms rely on when sourcing answers. Congratulations to this year’s winners, including ParentSquare. Earning a spot on these lists signals real customer impact.”
