Drupal solution for class timetables for school website

Hi, I'm looking for a solution to display course timetables for classes on a school website.

The school in question generates the timetables now with the software called Untis (http://www.school-timetabling.com/). This software is able to output the timetables as HTML, as XML and as CSV. What I need is to display these timetables (for individual classes or even for individual students or teachers) within Drupal.

What would be the best approach? Using the Data and/or Schema module? Or the Date + Views + Calendar module?

Does anybody have experience in producing anything likewise?

    Thinking of using Drupal for k-12 district

    Hi all, I'm new here..just thought I'd get some opinions on what Drupal can offer to a k-12 school district (10k students). We are currently evaluating CMSs and we're down to Joomla or Drupal. I've done my own experimenting and searching online but I thought I could get some insight from users who already are using Drupal.

    We will be hiring someone to initially create our theme and design our site (bc of time). We have a great deal of knowledge in web design and programming from myself and my coworker, so customizing in the future and integrating with other systems is crucial.

    Status and Metrics

    Stanford ITS has a nice Status and Metrics widget to show when their university network is experiencing problems or other related IT services are experiencing an outage.

    Is there a Drupal module that already does this or is custom building a module (or making an application independent of Drupal) the way universities solve this particular need?
