Assessment
Grades the way your curriculum gives them
A school can keep several grading scales and choose one for each term’s reports. The scale is checked when saved, so no two ranges overlap.
- Grade names of up to 15 characters, any ranges from 0 to 100, and the value each grade carries.
- Choose what the card shows: positions, the average, comments and the fees balance, each on or off for the term.
- Your own title and closing message on each term’s report cards.
- A comment bank, written once and used every term.
| Grade | From | To | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| A* | 90 | 100 | 1 |
| A | 80 | 89 | 2 |
| B | 70 | 79 | 3 |
| C | 60 | 69 | 4 |
| D | 0 | 59 | 5 |

Some things are fixed today, and we would rather you knew before you start:
- Fees are kept in Uganda shillings; there is no second currency.
- There are six report-card designs to choose from; a school cannot draw its own layout.
- A school year has three terms (two semesters for colleges); other patterns are not supported.
- There is no special set-up for Cambridge, IB or other international examinations; you assess with your own grading scales and tests.
Questions
What schools ask us
Can we use grades like A* to G or 9 to 1?
Yes. A grade can be any short name you choose, with its range of marks and the value it carries. You can keep more than one scale and choose one for each term.
Which kind of school should we choose when we sign up?
The one that matches your classes: nursery and primary, secondary, or secondary with A level. That decides which classes are made for you; you can rename and add classes afterwards.
Can parents see report cards in the app?
Parents see progressive-test reports when you choose to show them, and report cards you mark ready, held back while fees are owed.
Can we see it first?
Yes. Book a walkthrough and we will show you how your grading and reports would look, before you sign up.
