Would like to be able to send students their billing information within the system.
iGrade’s program is easy to use
For many years the school where I teach has used iGrade and it’s consistently given us great results. I’ve used other programs like it in the past, but I definitely prefer iGrade. It’s very well organized and offers many personalities features for teachers. Customer service is always excellent as well - someone always quickly addresses any question I have.
Pros
iGrade’s program is easy to use. I love the straight forward organization of its features.
Cons
While the website is excellent, the app is not as easy to use or navigate. I have trouble using the app.
Simply a great grading program
Simply a great grading program.
Pros
Easy to use, comprehensive options, very informative for students and parents.
Cons
I wish the credit/no credit option would give point credit and not affect the GPA, but no credit would penalize students who have not turned in assignment.

Excellent Experience

There is truly nothing I dislike.
This is the best online grade book, I have ever found
This is the best online grade book, I have ever found. It even works with our non-traditional school year timeframes.
Pros
I love the flexibility and the many different features included.
Cons
I have not figured out how to add weights to the grading categories. I also wish you could modify what you see on the teacher end a bit more, plus a comment section for each grade entry.
iGradePlus Review
I never had a problem with it.
Pros
I averages the grades for teachers!
Cons
nothing
I can copy assignments from one class to the next
This grade book is ver user friendly. I am not very computer savvy but I’ve been able to use this program with ease. I like it a lot.
Pros
That I can copy assignments from one class to the next without having to re-type all the information again.
Cons
When adding information in chronological order I have not found out how to move information from one place to another without having to re-type the information to move it chronologically.
The initial setup was very straightforward
This online grade book is the best I have found to use while homeschooling my 4 children. Very easy to use and the set up was quick.
Pros
The initial setup was very straightforward and that was the biggest plus for me.
Cons
I currently have not encountered anything that I have had trouble with.
iGradePlus Review

This software saves me time
I love this software, for a free software it has so many features that are so useful. I use it as my grade book and to track attendance, as well as a behavior log. It is nice to be able to just go an pull a report when I need it. This definitely is making my life easier!
Pros
This software saves me time. I was using a spreadsheet for attendance before, with this software I am quickly able to enter attendance, search attendance and filter by student which is helpful.
Cons
I haven't found a problem yet, but at I use it more I'm sure I will find something.
I love the ability to weigh assignments
I use iGradePlus to record students’ grades. I love the ability to weigh assignments without having to adjust points. For example, a math test grade is weighted higher than a math homework assignment. It has the ability to separate grades by category (i.e. tests, homework, classwork, quizzes, etc.) so we can see exactly which area(s) need improvement. You can enable a portal that parents and students can access to see where they stand. iGradePlus offers other wonderful communication and tracking tools as well.
Pros
I love that students and parents have access to their grades and assignments. This program takes away the "I didn't know." excuse.
Cons
The one thing I like the least is not being able to see a "student view" or "parent view."

iGradePlus was easy to learn and implement
iGradePlus was easy to learn and implement. I appreciated the options given.
Pros
I appreciated how I could copy my classes, archive classes, and edit easily.
Cons
Typing in dates & the kind of assignment (participation/ classwork / homework/ tests) took a great deal of time.
It made my first quarter reports so easy to produce
I would not consider myself app savy but iGrade Plus was so easy to use. It made my first quarter reports so easy to produce.
Pros
The program is straight foward and the help menus are so easy to follow.
Cons
I wish I could chose to have certain subjects (P.E., Art, Music) with Pass/Fail or s/u.
An exceptional product that is very intuitive to use
This is an exceptional product that is very intuitive to use, and the customer service is truly exemplary. We are very pleased with this product, the support we receive and the continuing improvements.
Pros
The product keeps improving as new features get added.
Cons
Some of the screens are spread too wide, making it difficult to choose options like PRINT and REMOVE, but recent changes are reducing this problem.
It is very easy to use
This is an easy to use grade, attendance program for teachers. It has many additional features like keeping a running total of grades for students. I chose it over the college’s program.
Pros
If you have a question, someone gets back to you within hours and they give you info that fixes whatever the issue was. Also, once you get the hang of the program it is very easy to use.
Cons
Be nice to have teachers create one username for all students in class and submit passwords for them. Took me days to get everyone on board.
iGradePlus is a great one-stop shop
iGradePlus is a great one-stop shop for those of us teaching at multiple schools and in multiple levels. Pull-out “classes” can be a headache paperwork wise, but iGradePlus makes it easy!
Pros
I like the fact that I can print any parts of my class list I wish! It is easy to use.
Cons
customer can edit fields more easily

Easy system and constant upgrades by the company
Easy system and constant upgrades by the company.
Pros
Being able to access the system anywhere on any electronic device is especially nice.
Cons
I would like to access the student entire profile per subject when inputting grades instead of only one assignment at a time.
It's phenomenal! It does everything I need and is highly customizable
It’s phenomenal! It does everything I need and is highly customizable. The team listens to any inquiries and promptly actions them out! The software is excellent. I highly recommend it for individual instructors!
Pros
I love that I can make a grade book highly customized and duplicate it for new periods and courses!
Cons
At the moment, there isn't anything I don't like about it.
No more lost worksheet excuses thanks to iGrade
iGrade is already a great platform for teacher/student/parent communication, and they keep making improvements. I upload all my assignments, videos, worksheets, and grades. The parents and students can access them at any time to catch up for days missed before they come back to school. No more lost worksheet excuses thanks to iGrade. Parents can download and reprint. Students can also work together on projects in iGrade where I can see their progress and who is really participating. This platform was invaluable during the change to elearning with COVID, making communication easy and clear.
Pros
I love the ease of use for the educator, student, and parent.
Cons
Working at a small school, I sometimes have students for multiple years. Each year the student information has to be re-entered, rather than allowing the student to be assigned to a class in a different year.
Easy to use / understand. Excellent customer service
For my Language Institute I Grades Plus is ideal. I have tried many grade recording software only to be dissapointed with them. I Grades Plus fulfills what I need with regards to grade recording on a user friendly site. It’s highly customizable and easy to understand / use. One feature I really like is that assignments can be given to the students and it is so easy to see when they return their exercises. I am really happy not only with the platform but also with the excellent customer service.
Pros
Easy to use / understand. Excellent customer service. Assignments can be tracked easily.
Cons
I have not had any inconveniences with the product.

For the modest cost I have received tremendous value
For the modest cost I have received tremendous value. iGrade does everything I need in a way that is easy for me to use. Customer support is solid. The comprehensive product has allowed me to focus on teaching rather that gradebook tech.
Pros
I like best that it is simple. It doesn't try too hard to do too much and end up making things harder. I just need a straight-forward product to do what I need it to do.
Cons
Occasionally I had a hard time finding some of the features, but now that I know where to look, I am fine.

It's a great tool to keep track of grades and assignments
It’s a great tool to keep track of grades and assignments.
Pros
I have the ability to copy assignments over to new classes that I have starting. It saves a ton of time.
Cons
My archived classes will still show up, so that gets confusing sometimes.
Allows me to keep track of my kids' grades throughout the school year
As a home school parent, IGradePlus allows me to keep track of my kids’ grades throughout the school year. I like having an online record of my kids’ grades throughout their school years.
Pros
I like the ease of entering information. There were some things I had to figure out in the beginning, but there has been quite a few changes since then. The program is pretty user-friendly.
Cons
The one thing that I don't like, and perhaps there is a way around it that I haven't figured out, is that when I want to print out assignment grades for a particular class that my student is taking, it prints out the grades for all the classes that that student is currently taking as opposed to just the one I wanted.
iGradePlus Review
It keeps everything I need for my class in one spot including grades, correspondence with students/parents and documents.
Pros
Easy and intuitive
Cons
Wish I could sync it with Google docs.
iGradePlus Review
Awesome program and it does everything that is needed from keeping grades etc… and communicating with the parents.
Pros
Making it easier to communicate with parents.
Cons
I'm waiting for lesson plans to be implemented.

Pros

Cons
Nothing. It's an excellent product.

It really stays out of your way
iGrade is an excellent grading software solution for managing a single classroom or an entire school. Features include detailed class setup, gradebook management, attendance tracking, custom report creation, and parent/student portal access.
Pros
It is simple to use and contains a lot (but not too many) features. It really stays out of your way. The custom report creation is powerful and simple to use.
Cons
If you use a point grading system, weighting individual assignments is simple enough (just adjust how many points each assignment is worth), but if you use percentage grades for each assignment, you can't choose to have an assignment worth "2x" or "1.5x" Attendance tracking would use a few more options. The only way to track one attendance mark for each student each day is to use an administrator maintained "master list."
Educational online provider that has an internal grade book
Educational online provider that has an internal grade book, parent informational email, staff email portal and much more.
Pros
The program is very stable and the customer support is extremely responsive and helpful
Cons
I would love for them to add the ability to stream live classes-which is not a criticism but rather a suggestion.
iGradePlus has, by far, been the best
As homeschoolers, we have tried other tools to track grades and attendance for our portfolios. iGradePlus has, by far, been the best! I have used iGradePlus for a few years now and have seen it evolve over the last year. It is an amazing tool!
Pros
It's easy to use. I can track attendance grades easily. I can easily modify it to fit our needs. The BEST customer service!
Cons
I would love for it to have a better layout for lesson plans and assignments for students to follow- something that, when assignments are completed, students can submit their work and check them as done.
iGradePlus is very user friendly
iGradePlus is a great product for teachers who need reliable software to best serve their students!
Pros
iGradePlus is very user friendly! I appreciate the ease in which the platform functions, especially the ability to weigh grades.
Cons
No product is perfect, however I can't think of any recommendations at this time.
The ability to access on any device is super
The system is very helpful for small private schools with a limited budget. It works well for the price and the company is always enhancing and making improvements based on the users’ needs and concerns.
Pros
The ability to access on any device is super!
Cons
Some features of the grade entry feature is not convenient.
The parent and student portals are easy to use
iGradePlus is an easy to use student management system. I love the ease of use and the multiple ways there are to access and organize information.
Pros
The parent and student portals are easy to use. It is very helpful that parents can access assignments, upload docs, and read the feedback I give.
Cons
I find the report generator clunky and the formatting not very appealing. I end up having to reconstruct my own that looks better.
Technical support is extremely responsive and amiable
I use it as a grade book spreadsheet and a way to give parents access to grades and missing assignments.
Pros
Technical support is extremely responsive and amiable.
Cons
When I have quite a lot of assignments, there is a loading lag time.
It is great for doing average grades and providing stats
I am very happy with iGradePlus. I have been able to organize assignments and keep up to date with missing work easily. It has been a valuable tool.
Pros
It is great for doing average grades and providing stats on all assignments.
Cons
Where to find things could better spelled out.

The developers listen well to feedback
iGradePlus is a student management system for inputting attendance, grades and behavior. The developers listen well to feedback by its users to make changes and improvements. I love this program.
Pros
The software is in constant development and improvement make it very nice to work with. Developer listens to users. Inputting grades and dates and even notes on assignments is very easy. Parents are able to upload directly to each assignment which makes for easy grading.
Cons
I wish that I could input one grade across multiple students inside one assignment. I.e. a 100 completion grade one time instead of putting it in for each student.
- Diversified Consumer Services
We love that it shows all grades
I love this software. Our school uses it for grades, report cards, parent/teacher communications, etc… Our parents & teachers love this program.
Pros
We love that it shows all grades, we can create report cards, progress reports, and if we ever get I to a jam, the tech support is always there to assist us.
Cons
I need extra help to print the attendance records of all students, per grade level. This is something that tech support can always help us out with.

This is a great user-friendly product
This is a great user- friendly product that allow for easy communication between teacher, students, and parents making all stakeholders responsible and accountable.
Pros
That it is really user friendly and that the staff is always willing to accept suggests from its users on how to improve the product
Cons
Student and parent alerts, which know are planned for the future, need to be introduced.
This has simplified my life as a teacher
This has simplified my life as a teacher and has helped me to safely keep my grades organized. It has a user friendly setup and is very versatile with lots of extra features allowing those who want more to have it all. It is the BEST online grade book that I have used in my 15+ years of experience as an educator.
Pros
It has a user friendly setup and is very versatile with lots of extra features. I mostly use the gradebook feature but there are others that also are very useful.
Cons
Importing names and student ID numbers is tiresome because they cannot be uploaded directly from an excel sheet.
The cost and user-friendliness are the best features
I am the Assistant Director of a homeschool day tutorial for kids with learning differences. We have a small budget but large needs and iGradePlus has been such an asset to our program for the past 3 years.
Pros
The cost and user-friendliness are the best features!
Cons
While we understand they are still developing as time goes on, we have some needs with lesson planning and scheduling that we are waiting to see implemented.
It is a wonderful platform to maintain grades and attendance
It is a wonderful platform to maintain grades and attendance and track behavioral issues.
Pros
I have been using this program for the last 4 years. It has been a joy to work with. It is easy to navigate and use. Any time there has been a technical issue it has been resolved within days if not hours. The amount of attention to teacher feed back is amazing, even when I thought I had erased all 4 years of my grade books, Mr. Marvin was reassuring and helpful. It turned out to be a glitch on my account but nothing was lost and the next time I logged in it was all there!
Cons
Considering other electronic and the dread paper versions of grade books I have used in the past, there are no real complaints I can give iGradePlus.

Allows for online gradebook, attendance and many more features
Allows for online gradebook,attendance and many more features
Pros
I like the all the features and plans are very reasonably priced and the developers are on top of replies
Cons
Features marked as "coming soon" have been taking a while
Everything is in one place
iGrade Plus has been a powerful and invaluable tool in our school. It provides a way to communicate with parents and other teachers/administrators. It gives students an easy portal to find their assignments, grades, and contact the teacher for support. Teachers have a convenient way to post assignments, grades, and attendance. It even averages the grades for you! And it does so much more!
It’s been such a helpful tool for me, and I appreciate how responsive the developers have been when I’ve had a question.
Overall, iGradePlus is a service I enjoy using as a teacher, and highly recommend to others.
Pros
Everything is in one place. Calendar, Assignments, Grades, Bulletin Announcements, Attendance Records, Communication, Reports, Contact Info.... *everything* It's easy to use! Easy to access! And convenient!
Cons
The few times I had a question about how to use a feature, the developers were quick to respond. In some cases, they even implemented the suggested feature I needed. It may not be perfect, but it's great!
I like the ability to show the assignments as late or on time
I use it for grading my class and it works well to average grades and also tell what’s missing or not done correctly
Pros
I am new to this software and still learning but I like the ability to show the assignments as late or on time or incomplete
Cons
I find it difficult to generate printable reports for a single quarter. It's seems to be a problem for me
A great, easy to use system to calculate and track grades
A great, easy to use system to calculate and track grades and attendance (which is primarily what I use it for).
Pros
Easy to use.
Cons
I wish you could see the overall grade when you input say, for example, a homework or test grade, so I can do a quick check to make sure I entered it correctly as sometimes I'll put in a 10 or a 1000 when I meant to put in a 100 and I don't always catch it right away.
The software is student and teacher friendly
The software is student and teacher friendly. It is easy for students and faculty to track their daily and and yearly progress.
Pros
Anytime you email or correspond to staff or students, the information is archived for reference and record. Information can be filed for school improvement or accreditation reports.
Cons
Implementation of grades and transcript format for final records. Although the grade implementation system is easy and friendly. I would like to be able to stay on the grade implementation page and continue to put grades in for another subject without going back to the beginning to activate the next subject for another grade input. It would speed up the process of putting in grades a little faster.
iGradePlus Review
I love it, just I feel it is missing some features that would make it even better
Pros
I love the student communication
Cons
I don't like how they don't have an iOS or android app for students or teachers

Easy to navigate, good value, lots of features
We recently switched to iGradePlus after our old software was phased out last year. It took a little getting used to at first (as all things do), but I found it to be easy to navigate, both as a teacher using it for my classes, and as a parent. It is nice to be able to send a lesson log via e-mail but still have a copy saved on the dashboard so parents can refer to it later. I would love to see a few more features such as testing/quiz options, but overall it is a great product and a great value.
Pros
Easy to navigate, good value, lots of features
Cons
No ability to create online quizzes
The simplicity of the design yet it's powerful functionality
I have been using IGradePlus for 2 years now and I would not change to another software program. This software is so easy to use from the moment you log in. It has tons of features that I use every day in my day to day tasks. Taking attendance, creating assignments, creating classes, posting memos, sending emails, scheduling events, creating lesson logs, managing web portal accounts and posting to your class blog. This has it all and everything is conveniently located. After you insert your grades you can also create reports and more. If you are looking for something simple, yet powerful, then this is exactly the software you’ve been looking for.
Pros
The simplicity of the design yet it's powerful functionality.
Cons
There is nothing that I do not like about this.
Ease of use, the ability to add assignments across multiple classes
The product is a gradebook program with additional helpful features to allow management of multiple classes and gradebooks.
Pros
I like the ease of use, the ability to add assignments across multiple classes, the ability to give both parents and students access so that parents can monitor their student's progress and students can be responsible for knowing and improving (if necessary) their own grade.
Cons
I wish I could more easily keep students' login information the same from year to year. I would like a way to know the student's username and password for times when I get the request "I have forgotten my password. Can you give it to me?"
The help desk is always very quick to respond to any questions
As a director and educator, iGradePlus has been invaluable. We have a staff of 13 in our program with 48 students and iGradePlus has helped us to stay relevant and able to communicate. The help desk is always very quick to respond to any questions. In addition, the program is very user-friendly for all parties. I love that it has a different interface for each type of account (administrator, teacher, student, parent). In addition to the gradebook and attendance, I love being able to post my lesson plans and the behavior logs help us track student behavior that is visible to the parents. It is truly an asset to our program.
Pros
I love the behavior log feature. I also like that I can share my lesson plans and upload documents for my students and parents.
Cons
I wish it had an app for the phone.
The report options is great at the end of semesters
I find the software very user friendly with a multitude of options for assignment descriptions, grading options, weighting grades. It allows parents with more than one student to have only one account. The ability to upload worksheets for students it a big plus and to be able to share powerpoints and links to videos is also very useful.
Pros
The report options is great at the end of semesters to send grade reports to parents. I have to admit I did have to reach out to tech support because I kept overlooking a simple instruction. And their tech support is awesome!
Cons
Right this minute I can't think of anything. Several of the issues I have had in the past have been fixed with the upgrades along the way.
iGradePlus is an essential tool for teachers
iGradePlus is an essential tool for teachers. It is easy to learn and maneuver. You can record your grades with ease and keep up with your schedule and your lesson plans. I recommend this product to all teachers and students.
Pros

Cons

The ability to create custom reports
I have used iGradePlus for two years now, and it has exceeded my expectations. Every time I have had a suggestion based on something that comes up at school or a problem, they have come up with a solution. I love that I can customize almost anything and get reports for all the data that I need to do my job. An has a low learning curve, which makes it easy to teacher others how to use it.
Pros
The ability to create custom reports.
Cons
There are a few minor problem with transferring a student from one class to another. On the grounds that either class has to be setup with identical assignments.
Email system and BCC feature are invaluable
I use iGradePlus as a secondary grade book for the classes I teach. Our regular school grade book has had glitches in the past and I’m not confident to its reliability. The iGradePlus grade book does not have the same issues or concerns. I like that there are several features available with iGradePlus that are either not available or too clunky to use with our school grade book. Such features like the built in, simple to use email system, calendar, and parent/student portal have been extremely useful and helped me to work more efficiently.
Pros
I really like the email application within the iGradePlus grade book. I like how I can easy send emails to parents of the students in my classes. Often times, my students have different last names than their parents and it makes associating a particular parent with a student an arduous and difficult task. With the iGradePlus email system within the grade book, it's as simple as finding the student and checking the box. I love how the parent is shown and associated with the student. I like how when I send an email that the email is sent to one recipient (despite having an entire list). PLEASE KEEP THIS BCC FEATURE! It is more valued than you know. I do wish that you continue work and quickly develop the emailed parent log. It would be nice to be able to quickly run a report for school administrators that show when you emailed a particular parent or group of parents through your program. A report that shows this would be extremely beneficial to me. I have not used the blog and other features, but I'm going to try to educate myself with how they are used during the Summer.
Cons
It is a little difficult at times to find things. I sometimes have to search for a little bit. It's not as intuitive to where things are located sometimes.

I love that I can customize almost anything
I have used iGradePlus for two years now, and it has exceeded my expectations. Every time I have had a suggestion based on something that comes up at school, they have come up with a solution. I love that I can customize almost anything and get reports for all the data I need.
Pros
I like that I can easily input grades, attendance, and behavior and see all the data on a report that I can then send to parents if they request it.
Cons
I think the part I least like is that when I am adding assignments, it doesn't always populate with the class I was in. It goes to the class I was inputting grades into last or if I wasn't in one, it doesn't populate the class at all.
Excellent customer support
Excellent customer support. Teacher friendly in the setup and maintenance of classes, grading options, categories.
Pros
Layout of pages, with titles and subtitles. Lot of thought went into creating the interface teacher friendly, with ease to find items in Overview.
Cons
Wish to find navigational tutorials to be handed out to students. The how to access assignments video or the different built-in sort options available for the students.
iGradePlus has been invaluable as we have moved into distance learning
iGradePlus has been invaluable as we have moved into distance learning. Teachers have a platform to post assignments and grades both students and parents have available to them at all times.
Pros
We have used iGradePlus primarily as an online grade book. Now, as the school has gone to distance learning, we have begun to use it more as a communication source. It allows students to check assignments, access teacher help documents, and check grades conveniently. Parents also appreciate their ability to review their student's progress.
Cons
iGrade has made positive progress over the past few years in becoming more user friendly. There is a learning curve to uploading documents and attaching work. Students lose or forget their access codes. It would be helpful to streamline the resetting process.
iGradePlus Review
Easy to navigate through the screens. Downloading for attendance and teacher comments. Handy archive section.
Pros
User friendly app
Cons
There are some glitches in the sysyem, such as uploading new month section and down time.
This is a great software for tracking student grades
This is a great software for tracking student grades and interfacing with the parent and student online. The cost for a single independent teacher is more than reasonable and the support is the best I have ever seen for software
Pros
The strength has to be in the support. Answers are received promptly and development ideas are implemented .
Cons
I can think of a few minor things, but they are mostly my preferences. For one, I would like to be able to give a student an "incomplete" for a semester when there are extenuating circumstances.

My school principal and I highly recommend this program
iGrade Plus is an amazing website to all teachers, students, and especially parents. It provides the capabilities to keep parents updated on all grades and also has the ability to keep consistent communication with parents. This program is especially simple to access (teachers). It is simple to add assignments, grades, keep attendance, and so much more. What makes this program (in my personal opinion as an educator) so very incredible, is that it also prints report cards, progress reports, and any other report the school would like to create. Our school parents love iGrade Plus. Our school teachers LOVE iGrade Plus. I highly recommend iGrade Plus.
Pros
What I LOVE best about iGrade Plus is the program allows the abilities to create and print report cards. It is a very simple program, easy to understand, and very easy to master.
Cons
I have yet to have any concern about this program. I have constant communication with the program's CEO and he is always very helpful. My school principal and I highly recommend this program to all schools.
The ability to email class rosters as an administrator
I administrate for a private school and also teach, so I use the system within both of those functions. I have found it to be very intuitive and easy to learn. Support is excellent and our staff has been pleased with the program’s functionality.
Pros
The ability to email class rosters as an administrator was a very helpful addition for us. The reports are good but I need to work with them more to evaluate. I like the running tallies for grades. Parents can look at igrade anytime to see what is missing and how their student is doing academically. I also like the ability to record behavioral incidents in one place.
Cons
We sometimes have glitches with emails being sent out.
check Igrade
I love it! It is user friendly, allowing students and parents to locate everything they need in one place. They have access to my calendar, assignments, lectures and grades. I can just say, check Igrade.
Pros
Easy of use, for instructing parents. It allows students to upload their assignments.
Cons
I know no product is perfect, but this is close.

This has made my life so much easier
As a college instructor, I have found the program very easy to use with a variety of nice features. I can print grade checks or allow students to access and monitor their grades throughout the semester. I also use it for attendance as it’s fast, and I can jump right into the classroom activities. The company continues to refine and expand the program and I’ve found them to be very responsive when I’ve had questions or even suggestions.
Pros
I had already used iGrade for several years before I decided to let students access their grades themselves. This has made my life so much easier! Students can check whenever they like which saves me time, paper, ink, and stress. I have found students respond much better to an error on my part,too. They can indicate the missing assignment or incorrect score, and I can immediately correct it, so there is no reason to get "crazy" about it(Teachers are human,too!).
Cons
The reports' feature could be easier to use.
