GC Education Analytics K–12 Master Scheduler is a browser-based engine for building and refining school master schedules, from elementary cohorts through high school block schedules. It supports elementary, middle, high, K–8, and 6–12 configurations. Scheduling options include self-contained, departmentalized, partner/platooning, split-band, traditional daily, A/B block, 4x4 semester, trimester, team-based, modified block, rotating drop, and multiple-variant schedules. Users can place sections by cohort and automatically create elementary Art, Music, and PE rotations for homerooms. Controls include teacher-period locks, unavailable times, room requirements, and course priorities. Conflict counts update in real time, while placement logs explain where sections went or why placement failed. Teachers and courses can be imported from CSV, and schedules exported as CSV for an SIS or printing. The tool runs in the browser without accounts or servers, keeps school data on the user's machine, and auto-saves in browser IndexedDB. It is described as a free beta with no sign-up, installation, or cost.
