Manual entry or paste from your grade export. Grades calculate automatically.
Everything stays in this browser tab. Nothing is sent anywhere and nothing is saved,
unless you explicitly check "Remember these settings" in Grading Settings below — which
only ever remembers the rounding/weighting settings, never a student's name or grades.
Grading Settings
These change how every grade on this page is calculated — including exports and
slips. They apply only in this tab for this session unless you check "Remember" at the
bottom. The defaults below match the Carroll County rule described under the grade cards.
Rounding rule at the letter-grade boundary
Round the average before checking the cutoff?
A semester exam counts as one more column: choose three terms, label it by its place in your export, and give it its own weight below. Changing this re-reads the pasted rows if they are still in the paste box; otherwise extra scores are dropped and missing ones left blank.
Only the rounding rule, weights, and show-work toggle above — never a student's name or grades. Unchecking this removes what was saved.
Paste rows directly from your grade system. Each row should have a student ID, name, section, grade level, and fourquarter grades like C(73.28). The system average column at the end is ignored. Paste with tabs between columns so an empty quarter stays in its own column — or drop a .csv/.xlsx export onto this box, or choose one below.
Import warnings
Column mapping
If a gradebook export changed column order and the importer guessed
wrong, set the columns explicitly here from the first row below, then re-import.
Class-wide what-if
Asks a question without changing anything. The pasted grades stay exactly as they are; every card below gains a second, clearly-marked result so you can see which letters actually move.
Scenarios: drop, curve, re-weight
Asks “what would the class get if…” beside the real grades, never instead of them. Nothing you pasted is changed, and the cards and slips below keep showing the real numbers. The quick what-if above replaces a student’s lowest quarter with the average of the others; here a dropped quarter is left out of both averages.
The three steps always run in this order: drop, then curve, then weight.
Drop leaves a student’s lowest quarters out of both averages (a tie drops the earlier quarter first), and always leaves at least one; a quarter with no weight is never dropped.
Curve works on the quarters that were kept, rounds each curved score to the hundredth, never goes below 0, and stops at 100 unless extra credit is allowed (then 200).
Scaling uses each quarter’s own highest score in the class, and a top of 0 scales nothing.
Weight gives each kept quarter its weight divided by the total of the kept weights, so the weights need not add to 100; a weight of 0 leaves that quarter out. Weights that are negative, not numbers or all zero are refused, and the weights in Grading Settings are used instead.
Rounding, the ten-point scale and the higher-of-two-methods rule are the ones in Grading Settings. A student missing a quarter that counts still has no final.
Missing-work triage
From the same paste above: who has a zero or a quarter that was never entered, and
who is one quarter's worth of improvement from their next letter grade. Nothing here changes a grade —
it's the same numbers already shown on the cards below, sorted into who needs a conversation.
Missing work
One quarter from a letter change
Check the paste against a class roster
Finds the students who are on your class list but have no row in the grades above, and the rows that are
not on the list. Names match whatever the order (“Lee, Jordan” is “Jordan Lee”), capitals or accents; a
near spelling is shown as a hint and never matched for you. The list is kept in this page only — nothing is saved.
Which grade to use? Per Carroll County grading policy, award the higher of the two methods. The highlighted box is the one to report. Quality Points: Each quarter letter converts to a point value (A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0). Those four values are averaged, then converted back to a letter (3.5 and up is an A). Percentage Average: The four raw percentages are averaged directly, then converted using the 10-point scale. Exactly .5 rounds up, so 89.5 is an A and 89.49 is a B. All four quarters are required. With a quarter missing or exempt, no final grade is shown, because a three-quarter average is not the county's number.
A (90–100)
B (80–89)
C (70–79)
D (60–69)
F (below 60)
What Do I Need on the Remaining Quarter?
Enter the quarters you already know, mark which one is still open, and set a target final grade.
This solves the same two county rules used above — Quality Points and Percentage Average — for the
score needed on the open quarter, using whichever method gets there with the lower score. Each
quarter counts equally: 25% of the final grade.
