The Gradebook puts every student's quiz score on every section of a course into one grid, with each student's overall score, course completion and missed work beside their name. It's the view to open when you need grades for your school's system, want to scan a whole unit at once, or need to see who has fallen behind on assigned work. You'll find it in two places that show exactly the same thing: the Gradebook tab inside each classroom, and Insights > Gradebook in the sidebar.
Available on: Intertwined Solo and school plans. On the Free plan, the Gradebook opens on a card that explains what it does, with See plans to upgrade. If your school covers you and its plan doesn't include the Gradebook, the card says so instead. See Why is a feature locked or blurred?
Opening the Gradebook
From a class:
Click Classrooms in the sidebar and open your class.
Click the Gradebook tab.
From the sidebar, without opening a class first:
Open the Insights group in the sidebar and click Gradebook.
The page opens on the class you looked at most recently. Use the CLASS menu at the top right to switch classes.
Click Open in class to jump to the same class's Gradebook tab.
If the class has more than one course, a COURSE menu picks which one the grid shows. The Gradebook shows one course at a time, and your choice carries over to the class's other tabs.
The summary tiles
Five tiles across the top summarize the class. Under most of them is a thin bar showing how the class is spread, and a link to the students behind the number.
Class average: the average Overall score of the students who have finished at least one quiz. The bar splits the class into Mastery, Developing, Needs support and No quiz yet, and the line underneath says how many students have finished a quiz.
Mastery: how many students are at 80% and up. Show them filters the grid to those students.
Needs support: how many students are under 55%. Show them filters the grid to them.
Course completion: the class's average completion. The bar shows who is at 75% or more, who is in between and who is under 25%, and a link such as "3 under 25%" lists the students who are behind. Picking a name opens their breakdown below the grid.
Missed work: how many students have missed at least one assignment, with the total missed and late underneath. Show them filters the grid.
Reading the grid
Each row is a student, listed by last name. Four columns stay pinned on the left while you scroll across the sections:
Student: the name, and under it either the first reason the student needs your attention (such as "2 missed assignments" or "Quiet 12 days") or their band (Mastery, Developing, Needs support or No quiz yet).
Overall: the student's overall quiz score for this course.
Completion: how much of the course they've finished.
Missing: assignments they missed (in red) or turned in late (in orange).
To the right, sections are grouped under their units ("Unit 1", "Unit 2" and so on), numbered the way the course numbers them (1.1, 1.2). Each cell shows one of three things:
A colored score: the student finished the section's lessons and quiz. Green is Mastery (80% and up), amber is Developing (55 to 79%), orange is Needs support (under 55%).
In progress: the student has started the section but hasn't finished all of its lessons and its quiz.
A dash: not started.
A small dot next to a cell means you assigned that section: green for done on time, orange for late, red for missed. No dot means the section wasn't assigned, or the assignment isn't due yet.
The first row, Class average, shows the class average for each column. A section's average only includes the students who finished that quiz, so a column where three students have finished shows the average of those three.
A legend above the grid repeats these colors and dots, so you don't need to memorize them.
What the numbers mean
Section score: the student's quiz score on that section, which counts wrong tries. A 10-question quiz finished with 2 wrong tries is 10 out of 12, or 83%. The full explanation is in How quizzes and assessments work.
Overall: the average of the student's finished section scores, each section counting equally. Students who haven't finished a quiz show a dash rather than 0%. If you give simulators a weight in this class, Overall blends in their simulator grades (see below).
Completion: the share of the course's lessons the student has finished. It's the same figure the student sees on their own course page.
Bands: Mastery is 80% and up, Developing is 55 to 79%, and Needs support is under 55%, measured on the rounded score. They're the same lines used on the Overview tab, each student's page and Reteach.
Searching, filtering and sorting
The toolbar above the grid has everything you need to narrow it down:
Search by name filters the rows as you type.
The unit menu shows All units or one unit at a time. Picking one unit is the easiest way to read a long course.
The status menu, which starts on All students, filters by status: All students, Needs attention, Missed work, Mastery (80%+), Developing, Needs support (under 55%) and No quiz yet. Each option shows how many students it would match.
Score % and Right / asked switch how scores appear. Right / asked shows the same score as a fraction: questions answered right out of all the answers given, wrong tries included. "10/12" means 10 questions right with 2 wrong tries along the way.
The full screen button at the end of the toolbar opens the grid over the whole window, which helps with long courses.
Click any column heading to sort by it, and click again to reverse. Sorting by a section puts the students who finished it first, then those still working on it, then those who haven't started.
Needs attention uses the same four reasons as the Overview tab: a student hasn't started (once classmates have), has missed an assignment, is scoring under 55%, or hasn't opened a lesson in 10 or more days.
One student's breakdown
Click a student's row to open their breakdown under the grid. Click the row again, or the close button, to put it away.
The top of the breakdown shows their band, any attention reasons, their Overall, Completion and Quizzes finished (for example "6 of 14"), plus Open full profile, which takes you to their page on the Students tab. Below that is a table of every section with these columns:
Status: Mastery, Developing, Needs support, In progress or Not started.
Score and Right: the section score as a percentage and as a fraction.
Quiz time: the time spent answering the quiz's questions.
Retries: how many wrong tries the student made on the quiz.
Assigned work: On time, Late, Missed or Not yet if you assigned the section, or Not assigned.
For charts, every answer the student gave and their simulator standing, use their full profile. See Looking at one student's progress in depth.
Exporting to a spreadsheet or PDF
The CSV and PDF buttons at the top export what's on screen. If you've filtered to one unit, searched for a name or picked a status, the export follows those choices.
CSV downloads a spreadsheet with one row per student, last name first, so it sorts and imports like a roster. It includes the Overall score, status, course completion, quizzes finished, missed and late assignments, then a score column and a status column for each section. A blank score means there's no score yet; the status column next to it says why (In progress or Not started), and notes when assigned work was late or missed.
PDF opens your browser's print dialog. Choose Save as PDF as the destination. The printout is landscape, carries the class, course and date, and splits a long course across several tables so it stays readable.
For printable reports on a whole class or one student, see Reports: exporting and sharing student progress.
Simulator grades in the Gradebook
When you assign a simulator to the class, the Gradebook adds a Simulators group of columns, with a suggested score for each student that you can accept or change. If the class has no simulator assignments yet, you'll see a note that starts "Grade simulators here too" with an Assign a simulator link; Don't show again hides it. Everything about grading simulators is in Simulator scores in the Gradebook.
Tips
Before entering grades in your school's system, filter to one unit and export the CSV. It gives you a clean column per section to copy across.
Sort by Missing on Monday morning to see who fell behind on last week's assignments.
Switch to Right / asked when talking with a student. "You got all 12 right but needed 6 tries" lands better than a percentage.
The Gradebook and the Overview tab use the same scores and bands, so a student's figure is the same wherever you look.
Common questions
Can I change a student's quiz score?
No. Quiz scores come straight from the student's answers. Simulator grades are different: you record those yourself, starting from a suggestion.
Why is a section "In progress" when the student says they finished?
A section counts as finished only when every lesson in it and its quiz are done. A student who has read the lessons but not finished the quiz is still in progress. Open their breakdown or profile to see where they stopped.
Why doesn't the class average match the section averages?
The Class average tile (and the Overall cell in the Class average row) averages each student's Overall score. Each section column is averaged on its own, using only the students who finished that section. Both are correct; they answer different questions.
Do readings and other assignments get a score?
No. Scores come from section quizzes. Assigned work still shows up as the colored dots and in the Missing column, so you can see whether it was done on time.
Can students see the Gradebook?
No. Students see their own quiz scores on their Reports page, and simulator grades you record once they're saved. They never see classmates' scores.
My class has two courses. Can I see them together?
The Gradebook shows one course at a time. Use the COURSE menu to switch, and export each course separately if you need both.
