What it is

Gradekeeper helps teachers manage grades, attendance, and classroom records. Its gradebook displays students, assignments, scores, and term grades, recalculating grades when information changes. Teachers can track absences and tardies, set non-class days, make seating charts, print reports, and email progress reports after configuring addresses and mail settings. The Google edition syncs students, assignments, and scores from Classroom while preserving Gradekeeper additions such as attendance and seating charts. Web editions save classes to Dropbox, Google Drive, or Microsoft OneDrive; the software also works with Online Grades and SchoolSpeak to post grades online. The web app runs in browsers on Chromebook, Linux, Windows, or Mac. Separate mobile apps are available for iPad, iPhone, and Android; the downloadable Windows app requires Windows 10 or 11. There is no free plan, but a 30-day trial is listed. One-time licenses cost $20 as a one-time purchase for one user, $100, paid once for a school, and $500, paid once for a district, with no annual renewal and future versions included.
