A Gradebook for Students, for any Type of School

A Gradebook for Students, for any Type of School

A gradebook for students should work for every type of school, including private K–12 programs, micro-schools, homeschools, and higher-ed institutions. DreamClass delivers a unified digital solution that simplifies grading, reporting, and progress tracking, for educators and administrators alike.

Why Schools Still Struggle with Grade Tracking

Despite their digital transformation, many schools still rely on tools that were never designed for grading. That can lead to inefficiencies and errors: teachers have duplicate work, parents struggle to get updates, and student data lives in disconnected tools. As a result, schools lose valuable time, especially during parent meetings, reporting, or accreditation season. All that can be a recipe for disaster. With DreamClass, you can replace that type of patchwork system with one modern hub that covers attendance, grading, and communication, becoming your new school management system.

A Digital Gradebook That Works for Any School Type

DreamClass offers a cloud-based gradebook for students that adapts to every school model. It’s user-friendly for teachers, transparent for parents, and reliable for administrators. More than a simple gradebook, DreamClass integrates attendance, class schedules, tuition tracking, and communication, all in one place. When you publish grades or share updates, families can check them instantly through the parent portal, while teachers can enter scores from their teacher portal.

Educators appreciate its centralized dashboard that gives a complete view, from enrollment to report cards.
