POWERFUL CALCULATIONS

See what the average can’t show you.

An average can’t tell an early struggle from where a student is now, or one unusual result from a pattern. MarkBook shows the evidence from every angle, and the final call stays with you.

Does MarkBook replace our student information system (SIS) or LMS?

No. MarkBook is designed as a focused assessment and grading layer—not a replacement for your SIS or LMS. It works alongside the systems your schools already rely on, giving educators greater assessment depth while helping leaders support more consistent practices without standardizing professional judgement.

Does MarkBook decide students’ grades?

Can students and families see their marks?

Yes, through MarkBook CONNECT. MarkBook CONNECT supports secure, teacher-controlled access to published grades and reports. It is not a chat or direct-messaging service. Teachers decide what to share, with whom and when.
