Gradebook & analytics
Weighted policies, standards mastery, and a full grade-history audit trail.
A gradebook built for speed and accountability: six aggregation methods, automatic late penalties, drop-lowest rules, standards mastery tracking, and a complete history of every grade change — so 'why did this grade change' never requires guesswork.
At a glance
The challenge
Gradebooks are spreadsheets with extra steps
Export to Excel for anything useful. Late policies are applied by hand, inconsistently. Standards tracking lives in a second spreadsheet nobody keeps current — and when a parent asks why a grade changed, there's no record.
How Ember helps
Grades that inform teaching — and hold up to scrutiny
Set weighted categories, drop-lowest rules, and late-penalty policies once; Ember applies them automatically. Standards-based mastery tracks alongside points, and every grade change is written to an auditable history.
Real scenarios
When you'll use it
Concrete moments in the school week — not abstract features.
Progress reports
Generate class summaries with mastery by standard, separate from points-based averages.
Policy changes
Switch aggregation methods or drop-lowest rules mid-semester — every future calculation applies the new rule automatically.
Parent dispute
Pull the full grade-change history for a single score to show exactly what changed and when.
