Homeschool gradebook
Every child and every course in one gradebook, with no account. This homeschool gradebook holds up to 10 children and their courses in one place. Add a child, add their courses, and type in scores as the year goes. Each course shows its running grade, the letter and the grade points, plus how much each category counts.

Categories
| Category | Weight | Drop the lowest | Remove |
|---|---|---|---|
| Move or remove its assignments first. |
Weights are shares, so 40, 30 and 30 work the same as 4, 3 and 3. A category with no scores yet is left out until it has one.
Drop the lowest removes the lowest scores by percentage in that category. On a tie, the one listed first goes. A category always keeps at least one score.
Assignments
| Name | Date | Category | Score | Points possible | Remove |
|---|
A blank score is not graded yet and does not count. Enter 0 for work that earns nothing.
A score above the points possible counts as extra credit.
- Assignments: no scores yet, not counted
Course grade: No scores yet

How is a course grade worked out?
Inside a category, the page adds up the points earned and divides by the points possible. Then it weights the categories against each other.
Say Math has Homework at 40, Quizzes at 30 and Tests at 30. Homework scores are 8 of 10, 9 of 10 and 10 of 10, so 27 of 30, or 90.0%. Quizzes are 18 of 20 and 15 of 20, so 82.5%. Tests are 85 of 100 and 91 of 100, so 88.0%. The course comes out at 87.2% B, 3.00 points.
The page works with the exact numbers and rounds just the ones it shows.
What do the weights mean?
Weights are shares, so 40, 30 and 30 work the same as 4, 3 and 3. A category with no scores yet is left out until it has one.
That matters early in a term. If Homework is 50 and Tests is 50, and the one score so far is 19 of 20 on homework, the course reads 95.0% A, with Homework counting 100.0% for now. A test nobody has taken doesn't pull it down to 47.5%.
How does drop the lowest work?
Each category has a Drop the lowest setting from 0 to 5. Drop the lowest removes the lowest scores by percentage in that category. On a tie, the one listed first goes. A category always keeps at least one score.
Take Quizzes with 0 of 1, 50 of 100 and 100 of 100, dropping one. The 0 of 1 has the lowest percentage, so it goes, and Quizzes reads 150 of 200, 75.0%. The dropped quiz stays in the list marked Dropped, so you can see what happened.
How does the page pick the letter?
It starts with a common scale: A from 90, B from 80, C from 70, D from 60 and F below that, worth 4.00 down to 0.00 points. It's a common scale, not an official one, so change any letter, minimum or point value to match yours, or add rows for plus and minus grades.
Grades show one decimal place, rounded half up, and the letter follows the number shown. Say your scale has A- from 90 worth 3.70 and B+ from 87. A score of 899.95 of 1,000 works out to exactly 89.995, which shows as 90.0%, so the letter is A- with 3.70 points.
What about blanks, zeros and extra credit?
A blank score isn't graded yet and doesn't count, so enter 0 for work that earns nothing. A quiz at 18 of 20 with a second one left blank reads 90.0%.
A score above the points possible counts as extra credit. A course can go past full marks, and it still takes the top letter.
Can I keep more than one child in it?
Yes. Add up to 10 children, each with up to 12 courses. Two children can both have a course called Math, and their grades stay apart: one child's Math can read 87.2% B while the other's reads 70.0% C.
There's one letter scale for the whole gradebook, so every child is graded on the same scale.
How do I keep my gradebook?
This page does not keep your gradebook. Save it to a file before you close the tab, and open that file next time.
Save to file downloads one file named with the date, such as gradebook-2026-10-04.json. It holds everything you typed: every child, course, credit, category, assignment and the scale. If you try to close the tab with changes you haven't downloaded, the browser asks before it closes.
Opening a file replaces the gradebook on this page. Save first if you want to keep it.
Can I print a report?
Each child has a Print button. The report lists that child's courses with every assignment, the category lines, the course grade and the scale used.
What this doesn't do
This page won't:
- keep anything after the tab closes, unless you save a file
- work out an overall GPA, a transcript or a report card
- take attendance, log hours or plan lessons
- do mastery, pass or fail, or rubric grading
- add honors weighting (points per letter are whatever your scale says)
- import or export spreadsheets
It does not store, transmit or log any input.

Do I need an account?
No.
Can I change the grading scale?
Yes. Edit the letters, the minimums and the points, or press Use the common scale to go back.
What if two quizzes tie for lowest?
On a tie, the one listed first goes.
Can I enter credits for a course?
