Instead of Gradelink
Gradelink alternatives
Gradelink brings student information, school administration, teaching, and learning into one system. Schools can handle attendance, scheduling, gradebooks, lesson plans, report cards, standards-based grading, transcripts, student and medical records, IEP tracking, tuition billing, admissions, and parent access. It supports Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows, with Google Classroom grade syncing, automatic ClassLink roster syncing, phone and email support, training, updates, encrypted connections, and nightly backups. Its Student/Parent app displays schedules, grades, attendance, and homework, although that app requires Standard Service.

Readers may look elsewhere because Gradelink starts at $106 per month, has no free plan, and charges setup fees on its main SIS plan. The mobile requirement and available platform mix may also affect a school’s choice. Alternatives range from free, open-source systems and freemium tools to products focused on admissions or community classes. Compare billing, grading, portals, communication, online learning, integrations, storage, language support, deployment, and the specific roles your school needs before switching.
