📈Student Performance
Automatically compares previous grades to current grades, showing the change, trend direction, and overall performance status for each student.
Why Teachers Need It
A single grade tells you where a student is. Performance tracking tells you where they're going — improving, declining, or stable. This sheet makes trends visible without manual comparison.
Key Benefits
- Grade Change column shows exact points gained or lost
- Trend auto-classified as Improving, Declining, or Stable
- Performance Status combines grade + attendance into one indicator
- Links to both Gradebook and Attendance Tracker for combined analysis
How It Works
- 1Previous Grade and Current Grade pull from the Gradebook sheet.
- 2Grade Change = Current Grade - Previous Grade.
- 3Trend = Improving if change > 2, Declining if change < -2, otherwise Stable.
- 4Performance Status = Needs Intervention if grade < 75 or attendance < 80%.
Example Workflow
“You notice STU-012's Performance Status shows 'Needs Intervention.' The Grade Change column shows -8.4 points. The Trend says 'Declining.' You know this student needs immediate support — and you didn't have to manually compare report cards to figure it out.”
Pro Tips for Teachers
- •Review Performance Status weekly during grading periods
- •Use the Trend column to identify students who are slipping before they fail
