Overview
Gradelink is a student information system aimed at small and mid-sized private schools, published by Gradelink Corporation[14]. Its feature set centres on teachers and families: lesson planning, gradebooks, standards tracking, customisable report cards, automatic grade monitoring alerts, sports eligibility reporting, school calendars, class web pages, mobile apps, group email and SMS or voice alerts[14].
Gradelink includes unlimited support at no additional cost, including phone and email support in Spanish and Chinese, and offers a free transition assistance programme for schools switching from another system[14]. Data is backed up nightly with encryption[14]. The company does not publish a price list: schools request a quote online and, after the school is verified, receive a quote by email within minutes[13]. That process is faster and more transparent than the sales cycles of the enterprise vendors, though it still keeps prices off the public page.
Gradelink does not include the fundraising, accounting and tuition depth of Blackbaud, FACTS or Veracross, so a school that needs those functions will pair it with other tools. It is not designed for public districts with state reporting obligations.
