1.5.1. Aeries Student Information System
Aeries Student Information System is a software system developed by Eagle Software. It is targeted at California education institutions, especially high schools, but its grading functionally is similar to a university level system. Aeries does not provide a stimulating or intuitive visual interface, but functionally it is solid. It is not a stand-alone application, but rather a browser accessible page.
