Understand how SkoolWisely scores every guardian based on their payment history.

What are Guardian Ratings?

The Ratings tab shows a star rating for every guardian in your school. Ratings are calculated nightly from each guardian's payment history and give you a quick way to identify reliable payers and chronic defaulters.

The Two Rating Scores

Each guardian receives two separate scores:

ScoreWhat it Measures
Completion Score How much of their total invoice the guardian has paid. 5 stars = fully paid. 1 star = nothing paid.
Timeliness Score Whether they paid before or after the due date. 5 stars = always on time. 1 star = consistently late or unpaid.

Rating Breakdown

StarsLabelCompletion
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent 100% paid
⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good 80% or more paid
⭐⭐⭐ Fair 60% or more paid
⭐⭐ Poor 40% or more paid
Very Poor Less than 40% paid
Ratings are recalculated automatically every night. A guardian with no invoices past their due date will not appear in the ratings list yet.

How to Use Ratings

Use the Ratings tab to quickly identify guardians who consistently pay in full and on time versus those who are persistent defaulters. You can share this information with your bursar to prioritise reminder campaigns or to make informed decisions about early follow-ups before each new term.
