I don't know about TESS or PowerSchool but you can definitely transfer patron data in Excel to Koha. IF TESS or PowerSchool can export out as csv you'll be good to go too.

There are several Koha demo online and you could take one for a spin to try (check koha-community.org). You can also transfer biblio records in Excel also to Koha but that is not as straight forward as the patron import.
