Charter School Management Software for Daily Academic Operations

Lekktura gives charter schools a fast daily workflow for attendance, grades, behavior and family communication, plus a school-wide view leadership can act on the same day. It runs alongside the student information system you already use for compliance reporting rather than trying to replace it.

Charter School Management Software for Daily Academic Operations in Lekktura — school dashboard preview

The Daily Layer Your SIS Was Never Good At

Most charter schools already run a student information system because their authorizer and state require it. Those systems are built for enrollment, scheduling and compliance reporting — and teachers usually describe them as slow, and leadership describes their reports as out of date.

Lekktura is deliberately the other layer: the one teachers touch every period and leadership reads every morning. Attendance, grades and behavior go in quickly and become visible school-wide immediately.

Single-site charter schools and small networks

Schools with a strong culture or behavior system to run

Middle and high schools with multiple periods per student per day

Teams that want same-day data without a data department

What Charter Schools Run in Lekktura

Everything is recorded where the lesson happens, by the person who was there, and rolls up without anyone assembling a report.

Per-lesson attendance by subject and date, with five statuses

Digital gradebook with assignments, comments and class averages

Behavior tracking for positive and negative observations

Student records with custom tags for support and intervention groups

Private parent progress reports with no parent account or app

School-wide analytics on grades, attendance and behavior trends

Role-based access so teachers see their classes and leadership sees the school

Attendance Recorded Per Lesson, Not Once a Day

Daily attendance answers whether a student was in the building. Per-lesson attendance answers the question that actually drives intervention: which periods is this student missing, and since when.

Because attendance is tied to a subject and a date, a student who checks in at homeroom and disappears after lunch shows up accurately. Five statuses — present, late, left early, absent excused, absent unexcused — with an optional reason and comment on any record.

Bulk marking for a whole class in seconds

The office sees what a teacher recorded minutes ago

Corrections can be made later without rebuilding the record

Culture and Behavior Data You Can Actually Look At

Charter schools tend to invest heavily in school culture, and then track it in a shared spreadsheet that nobody analyses. Behavior in Lekktura is recorded against the student, with a date and a note, and positive observations are first-class records rather than an afterthought.

Because behavior sits next to grades and attendance in the same student history, a pattern like "attendance is fine, grades are fine, behavior in one subject is not" becomes visible instead of being three separate anecdotes.

Positive and negative observations, both dated and attributed

Shared history across every teacher who works with the student

Behavior trends visible at the school level, not only per classroom

A Leadership View Without a Data Team

Small charter schools rarely have a full-time data analyst, so the school-wide picture arrives as whatever someone had time to build in a spreadsheet. Lekktura produces it from records teachers created today.

The dashboard is designed to surface students who need support and to make staff conversations better informed — not to reduce a teacher to a single metric.

Common charter school workflows and the Lekktura approach
Before	With Lekktura
Attendance reconciled at the end of the week	Per-lesson attendance visible the same day
Culture data in a shared spreadsheet	Behavior records in the student history
Grades exported from each teacher	One school-wide gradebook
Family updates written one at a time	Private progress reports by secure link
Leadership reports built by hand	School-wide analytics from current records

It Complements Your SIS, It Does Not Replace It

This matters enough to be explicit: Lekktura is not a full student information system. It does not handle enrollment, scheduling, billing, or state and authorizer compliance reporting, and it does not submit data to any state system.

Charter schools keep the SIS they are required to run and add Lekktura as the daily academic layer — the part staff use during the school day and leadership reads to make decisions.

Keep your compliance and reporting system as it is

Use Lekktura for daily attendance, grades, behavior and parent reports

No installation, no server, no district IT project

Family Communication Without Another Login

Charter school families are often the reason the school exists, and they usually hear nothing between report cards. A teacher or administrator sends a read-only progress report through a private link for one student, covering the recent period.

Reports can include grades, attendance and behavior. There is no parent account and no app, each family sees only their own child, and the school decides when to send — for one student, one class, or the whole school.

No parent portal credentials to issue or reset

Useful before conferences, or when an intervention starts

The same data leadership sees, scoped to one child

Charter School Software Pricing

Plans are billed at the school level rather than per teacher, so the cost does not move every time staffing does. Every teacher in the workspace gets the full gradebook, attendance and behavior tools.

Plans start at $49/month for the Micro plan, with larger plans for schools that need more students, teachers, classes and analytics. Every school can start with a free 30-day pilot before choosing a plan.

What to Ask When Comparing Charter School Software

Charter schools are usually adding a tool next to a system they cannot remove. These are the questions that decide whether that works:

1
Can it run alongside our existing SIS without duplicating enrollment?
2
Is attendance recorded per lesson or only once per day?
3
How quickly does leadership see what a teacher just recorded?
4
Can positive culture data be recorded, not only incidents?
5
Do teachers see only the classes they are assigned to?
6
Can families read an update without a portal login?

Questions before you start

Short answers to what schools ask most.

Can Lekktura replace our student information system?

No, and it is not meant to. Lekktura does not handle enrollment, scheduling, billing or state and authorizer compliance reporting. Charter schools keep their SIS and use Lekktura for the daily academic record, school analytics and family communication.

Does it submit attendance data to the state?

No. Lekktura does not submit data to any state or authorizer system. It records per-lesson attendance for daily operations and school-level visibility, which schools use alongside the system that handles official reporting.

How is attendance recorded?

Per lesson, tied to a subject and a date, with five statuses: present, late, left early, absent excused and absent unexcused. An optional reason and comment can be added, and whole-class bulk marking covers the usual case.

Can we track school culture and behavior?

Yes. Positive and negative observations are recorded against a student with a date and a note, and sit alongside grades and attendance in the same history. Behavior trends are also visible at the school level.

Do teachers see the whole school?

No. Access is role-based: teachers work with the classes they are assigned to, while principals and administrators get the school-wide view. That boundary is enforced by the platform rather than by convention.

Do families need a portal account?

No. A teacher or administrator sends a private link to a read-only progress report for that child. Families open it in a browser with no account and no app, and each family sees only their own student.

How much does it cost for a charter school?

Plans start at $49/month for the Micro plan and are billed per school rather than per teacher. Larger plans cover more students, teachers and classes, and every school can start with a free 30-day pilot.
