Headmistress

I can add registered students, assign them to classes, record class attendance, and send emails to specific students, families, or classes as needed.

Administrator

As a Bible college that works primarily with mail correspondence students, having a reliable and easy-to-use platform to track grades, manage student progress, and maintain clear communication has been invaluable.

Classroom Intern

One major drawback I’ve experienced while using IGradePlus as a  teacher is the lack of an automatic save option. When creating or editing lesson plans, assignments, or student feedback, I have to remember to manually save everything.

Teacher

Additionally, printing grade reports can be challenging when trying to include all important information such as individual grades, lesson titles, and quarter summaries.

Love the ability to upload documents relevant to work and what has been handed out so all students have access to material even when absent.

I usually have to keep the Thai name and the English name of my students, so that pushes their nickname (the English name we usually use to identify them) out of sight on the assignment grade entry page.

It is not possible to make a schedule of scheduled lessons and for these lessons to appear on the teacher's home page on the days of the scheduled lessons.

For example, if I add an assignment, it goes to the end, even if it is due before the last assignment. If we didn't complete an assignment, I can't delete it even when no grades have been entered.

It also took me a minute to realize what data/info would show up under what tabs and how to ensure I saved assignments I created before moving to a different tab.

IT Team Leader

The number of features it offers. including attendance, custom reports, gradebook features, etc.

Lead Teacher

It was reliable and made day-to-day classroom tasks more manageable. While there is room for improvement in the user interface and navigation, the functionality met my needs as an educator.

Maybe a way to create more assignments in bulk ahead of time and at once, rather than having to type them all in individually and add “classwork, homework, test, quiz…”.

This can be especially time-consuming when preparing reports for parent meetings or administrative reviews, as users may have to sacrifice some details or spend extra time formatting manually.

Director of Programming

A lot of steps to make an assignment. If we’re tracking a lot of data for each lesson it was time consuming to make each individual assignment.

It has made doing report cards so easy, as all the averages and scores are calculated for me. Since we share students, it is really easy to run reports and share with my colleagues at a moment's notice.

Searching for specific information can sometimes be challenging. If I need to find attendance records or grade averages, I never can remember how to access what I need.

I wish parents could click on assignments to ask questions. Or even click on the grade itself and it automatically links them to my email or something like that.

Assistant manager

Additionally, there are moments when the system can feel slightly sluggish, particularly during peak times when generating reports or accessing large amounts of data.

Some info tags would be nice on the admin side for entering data and ensuring required formats are understood at input.

If I enter a new assignment but continue on to enter grades without hitting save/done and accidentally log off or get interrupted , it will not save the draft.

Second I see the average class grade for every assignment so I can look at that until if my class has the concept or if they need more practice.

What I liked least about iGradePlus was the user interface and navigation. While the core features were functional, the layout sometimes felt outdated and not as intuitive as it could be.

What stands out the most is how customizable the system is — whether you're teaching elementary or high school, iGrade adapts to your needs.

Allows multiple classes to get grades and arranges for assignments to be duplicated.

Special Education Teacher

It is very difficult to navigate to different things, such as finding the students grades once they are in, and navigating to a specific student.

Finally because it is an online green book I can work at home which maybe I should have better boundaries but I do like to grade at home or I can work at school and I don’t have to pack something back-and-forth.

Missionary

I like the ability to quickly enter scores for assignments and have the grades automatically calculated.

IGrade Director

Each year we begin with a quick trip through iGrade with new teachers, and they leave in awe of what they are able to do and the ease of maneuvering through the system.

It does what I most need, keeping track of student prifiles, classes, and class attendance.  

Billing Department

Would also be nice to have more control over a calendar that we can pick each day of class individually to build a class schedule.

English teacher

It keeps my classes organized, and it calculates my students' grades for me.

Head Teacher

Attendance, Behavior, assignments, memos, calendar, even communication with parents.

Hard to create reports and no way to create account statements to track payments.

Assistant Principal

Finding the needed training on things like attendance, behavior events, pulling reports, etc., has been difficult.

Admin

We use it for our church online Bible classes & for the most part our staff doesn’t have many issues.

Founder

In my option iGradePlus makes it easy to show students their grades and gives parents a great view on what's going on in class.

Maybe once Internet access is more widely available in my area it could be a great tool for our school so the parents could be more involved in their child's education.

I use it for the basics of grading and attendance and it works well for that.

Data Management

Sometimes the profile can be weird like some contacts can be saved but some will delete itself for some random reason.

Teacher and Admin

I also enjoy the docs and links feature to share items with my students.

Homeschool Teacher

I personally am a homeschool parent and this makes it easy to keep track of my kids grades without having to hold on to every single piece of paper.

Director of Education

It often gets “bogged down” during our finals weeks (every 8 weeks) when all instructors and students are in it at the same time.

The ability to leave comments and add late marks beside grades is amazing.

Being able to track behavior, grades, and teacher comments all in one.

I appreciate how easy the program is to create assignments, add descriptions and print out progress reports and end of quarter reports

Principal

Two core pieces missing are a financial function and an integrated enrollment form.

Medical Programs Instructor

It really helps out when it comes to the students keeping track of their grades and attendance.

I wish that it was easier to duplicate lessons and repeat assignments between classes and students when the lesson is the same.

Management Team Head - Education Acting Teacher

I also love how to can see everything in one spot for information and how we use to grade was thinkwave their software sucks.

Being able to access to the whole school/program and other classrooms to verify grades was a nice benefit.
