Automated Teacher Gradebook Google Sheets Weighted Grade Calculator Dashboard At-Risk Students Alerts & IEP 504 Tracking Middle High School

Stop calculating grades manually. Let this Gradebook do the math for you! You just spent your Sunday afternoon grading 30 essays. Now you need to calculate weighted averages, figure out who's failing, and prepare for parent-teacher conferences tomorrow. The Automated Gradebook is a fully functional Google Sheets template that calculates weighted averages, flags at-risk students, tracks IEP/504 accommodations, and gives you a visual dashboard of your class performance. Just enter the grades. The rest is done for you.

✨ WHY TEACHERS LOVE THIS GRADEBOOK:

✅ WEIGHTED AVERAGES CALCULATED AUTOMATICALLY

Set your category weights once (Tests 40%, Quizzes 20%, Homework 15%, etc.), and the gradebook calculates each student's final grade automatically. No more manual math. No more errors.

✅ AT-RISK STUDENT ALERTS

The Dashboard automatically generates a list of students below 70%. See exactly who needs intervention before parent-teacher conferences. No more digging through rows of data.

✅ IEP/504 TRACKING BUILT IN

Mark students with IEPs, 504 plans, or ELL status in the Roster. The cells turn yellow/orange so you never miss an accommodation. Stay IDEA-compliant without extra paperwork.

✅ VISUAL DASHBOARD

See your class average, grade distribution (A/B/C/D/F), and category breakdowns at a glance. Print it for administrators. Share it with parents. Know your class inside out.

✅ MOBILE-FRIENDLY

Enter grades from your phone, tablet, or laptop. Your data syncs automatically across all devices. Grade in the classroom, at home, or on the bus.

✅ BEGINNER-FRIENDLY

No spreadsheet experience required. Step-by-step setup guide included. Formulas are locked so you can't accidentally break them. Just enter the grades in the white cells.

✅ CUSTOMIZABLE

Change the grading scale, add assignment categories, adjust weights — all without breaking the formulas. Works for any middle school or high school course.
