NavEd Free Gradebook is a web-based tool for educators tracking grades in one class of up to 10 students. As scores are entered, it updates student averages and letter grades using weighted or unweighted calculations. A spreadsheet-style grid accepts assignment names, possible points, and weights, and users can export a PDF report with grades, averages, and letter grades. Educators can start without an account; providing an email is optional and enables a magic link to return to saved work. The gradebook is described as mobile friendly for phones and tablets, and NavEd identifies microschools, co-ops, and small schools as suitable settings. The free option is 0.00 USD per free forever, with no credit card required, but is limited to one class and 10 students. NavEd directs users needing greater capacity to its full platform. Full plans start at $2.50 per student per month or $99 per year, with the first five students free. NavEd says its safeguards for student records include TLS data transmission, separate database schemas per school, and role-based access controls.
