The Problem
Why Teachers Replace Spreadsheets with a Digital Gradebook
Spreadsheets are easy to start—but they fragment data across files, hide formula mistakes, and slow parent updates. A digital gradebook keeps everything in one place with fewer manual steps.
Silent Calculation Errors
One broken formula skews an entire column of averages — and nobody notices until report cards.
Parent Prep Takes Hours
Pulling together a progress summary before conferences means digging through three separate files.
No Guardrails
Spreadsheets don’t stop you from entering a grade of 150 or recording attendance for next month.
Core Gradebook
Grades, Attendance & Behavior in One Gradebook Grid
One gradebook software, one grid — switch instantly between Grading, Attendance, and Behavior without leaving the page or juggling extra tools.
- Score scale 0–100 with automatic validation
- Color-coded cells — red / yellow / green — to spot trends at a glance
- Inline comments on any grade, visible via hover tooltip
- Per-student average at the end of each row, updated in real time
- Per-day class average in the bottom row — see how the whole class performed
- Weighted assignment grades flow in automatically with full category breakdown
- Five statuses: Present · Late · Left Early · Absent Excused · Absent Unexcused
- Reason field per entry — medical, family, transportation, or custom
- Free-text comment for additional context
- Automatic attendance score per student
- Chronic absenteeism visible at a glance — act before it becomes a pattern
- Log positive actions — participation, leadership, helping peers
- Record negative incidents — disruptions, off-task, missing homework
- Custom notes on every entry for context
- Consistent status categories across all classes for trend analysis
- Automatic behavior score per student — shared in reports and Parent Portal
Data Entry
Enter Grades Your Way - Single Cell, Bulk Edit, or Quick Mode
Enter grades your way—one score at a time, in bulk, or in a fast daily pass. Everything saves cleanly, and averages update automatically.
Single-Cell Edit
Click the cell where a student meets an assignment or date, type the score, and press Enter or click away to save. Add an optional comment if you want context on that grade — useful for parents or your own notes later.
Best for: updating individual grades as you finish grading.
Bulk Edit
Bulk Edit is Cells mode: work across the grid, enter scores as fast as you go, then save everything with one click when you’re ready — instead of committing cell by cell.
Best for: batch-entering grades for many students or assignments before you save.
Quick Mode
Pick one day. For that date, walk the roster and enter grades, attendance, and behavior in one streamlined pass — built for “everything for Tuesday” without hopping between modes.
Best for: a single day’s grades, attendance, and behavior for the whole class.
Automatic Calculations
Weighted Grades That Calculate Themselves
Define categories — tests, homework, projects, classwork. Assign percentage weights to each. The gradebook calculates final scores automatically for every student.
Set weights once
Scores update in real time
Every new grade recalculates the weighted average instantly
Full breakdown in tooltip
Hover any assignment-linked cell to see category, weight, and final score

Overview
How Lekktura Compares to Traditional Gradebook Software
Teachers have more than one way to manage grades — but not every option is built for fast, everyday classroom use. Lekktura gives teachers a simpler online gradebook that is easier to manage than spreadsheets, faster than paper gradebooks, and lighter than full school information systems.
Easier than spreadsheets
- Broken formulas and duplicate files quietly waste time.
- Grades, attendance, and behavior often live in separate tabs or files.
- Lekktura keeps everything connected in one gradebook—less maintenance, more teaching.
Lighter than a full SIS
- Many SIS systems are built for district admin, compliance, and reporting.
- Lekktura focuses on the teacher workflow: grades, attendance, behavior, reports, and families.
- Teacher-first—without the weight of enterprise rollouts for day-to-day class use.
Faster than paper gradebooks
- Manual averages and handwritten reports take longer every week.
- History and trends are harder to review on paper over time.
- Automatic calculations, digital records, and one-click reports keep pace with your class.
Easier for individual teachers
- Some platforms assume a school-wide rollout before you see value.
- Start as a solo teacher—simple setup and easy upkeep.
- Practical for daily classroom use, not just a district IT project.
