Using the Classroom Gradebook

See every student's score on every assignment in a classroom, filter columns, drill into submissions, and export to CSV.

Written by Kat Morgan

The Gradebook gives you a single, sortable view of how every student in a classroom is doing across all of their assignments. Lesson assignments, pathway assignments, and tutor series all show up as columns. Click any cell to drill into that student's submission. Export the whole table to CSV when you need it for a report or your existing spreadsheet.


Opening the gradebook

1. Go to Classrooms and open the classroom you want to look at.

2. Click the Gradebook tab.

You'll see:

  • One row per enrolled student, with a sticky Student column on the left and a Total percentage column next to it that follows you as you scroll right.

  • One column per assignment. Lessons, pathways, and tutor series all sit side by side.

  • Colour-coded score badges so you can scan for trouble at a glance: red for under 50%, amber for 50 to 79%, green for 80% and up.

  • A single placeholder in any cell where the student has not started that assignment yet.

  • A muted badge with In Progress when a student has opened the assignment but not submitted it.


Searching for a student

Use the search box at the top left to find a student by name or email. The list filters as you type, with a short pause so you can keep typing without it jumping around.

Clear the search by clicking the small ✕ in the input.


Sorting

Click the Student column header to sort A → Z, click again to reverse it, click a third time to clear. Click the Total column header to sort by overall classroom performance, which is useful for spotting students who are quietly falling behind.

Choosing which assignments to show

Maybe your classroom has 30 assignments and you only care about the latest three. Use the Assignments (n/n) dropdown to toggle individual assignment columns on or off.

  • Select all ticks every assignment back on.

  • Select none hides them all so you can pick exactly the few you want.

  • The counter in the dropdown button (for example Assignments (5/34)) updates live so you know exactly what you're looking at.

The CSV export respects this filter, so if you've narrowed the view down to a single unit, the download contains only those columns.


Drilling into a single submission

Click any score cell to open that student's submission directly. The student's name is pre-filled in the search on the submission view, so you land already focused on them.

  • Clicking a lesson cell opens that lesson's submission view, scoped to the student.

  • Clicking a series cell (a pathway or tutor series) opens the assignment overview with the same student filter applied.

If a cell shows the In Progress badge, the drill-down works the same way and you'll see whatever progress the student has saved so far.


Exporting to CSV

Click Download CSV in the top right to download the gradebook as a spreadsheet.

Download CSV button at the top right of the Gradebook

The file:

  • Is named after the classroom and the date, for example mathematics-class-gradebook-2026-05-22.csv.

  • Has one header row: Student, Email, <assignment columns>, Total.

  • Sorts students alphabetically by last name.

  • Shows scores as 8 / 10, partial submissions as 5 / 10 (in progress), and missing submissions as blank.

  • Honours whichever columns you've left turned on in the Assignments filter.

It opens cleanly in Excel, Numbers, Google Sheets, or anywhere else that handles CSV.


Who can see the Gradebook

The Gradebook is visible to anyone with educator access to the classroom: the classroom owner and any collaborators you've added.


What counts as a score

Each assignment column shows the student's total marks for that lesson, pathway, or series. Mindjoy auto-marks question blocks (multiple choice, true/false, select-all-correct, match, resequence) and pulls those marks straight into the Gradebook. Long-answer questions that have been hand-marked also show up. Anything not yet marked counts toward In Progress until you finish marking it.


Tips

  • Sort by Total ascending to surface students who need a check-in.

  • Use Select none then tick a single assignment to compare every student on the same task, side by side.

  • Combine the column filter with the CSV export to share a focused view with another teacher or a parent without exposing the whole classroom.
