Online Gradebook for Teachers

How to use the online gradebook

1. Open Setup. Choose weighted categories (for example Homework 20%, Quizzes 30%, Tests 50%) or total points, and set your letter grade scale.
2. Paste your class list, one student per line, or import a CSV exported from your school system or spreadsheet. Create a separate class for each section you teach.
3. Add assignments with a category and maximum score, then type the scores into the grid. Enter moves down the column, so you can work through a stack of marked papers quickly.
4. Each student's percentage and letter grade update instantly, with the class average for every assignment at the bottom.
5. Export a CSV for your school's system, print the whole gradebook, or print one report page per student for conferences and parents.

How weighted grades are calculated

Within each category, the gradebook adds up the points a student earned and divides by the points possible, so a 50-point test counts more than a 10-point quiz in the same category. The category percentages are then combined using your weights. For example, with Homework 40% and Tests 60%, a student on 90% homework and 80% tests gets 0.4 × 90 + 0.6 × 80 = 84%. If a category has no grades yet, the other weights are scaled up so early-term grades are not dragged down by empty categories. With total points, every point counts equally regardless of category.

Empty cells are treated as not graded yet, and EX marks an excused assignment; neither affects the average. If you want a missing assignment to count as zero, type 0. Scores above the maximum count as extra credit. Common scales are A 90, B 80, C 70, D 60; for plus and minus grades type a scale such as A 93, A- 90, B+ 87, B 83, B- 80, C+ 77, C 73, C- 70, D 60, F 0.
