Give Every Student a Grade That Means Something

JumpRope is a standards-based gradebook built to help schools replace averages and points with meaningful insight into student progress and mastery.

Letter-Grade Inflation Is a Risk Traditional Gradebooks Can’t Fix

Most gradebooks are built around points. But points don’t show what students actually know or what they still need to learn, and they leave room for grading inaccuracy and inflation.

Research shows that letter-based grade inflation poses serious long-term consequences for students, including worse academic outcomes, fewer employment prospects, and reduced future earnings. This creates real challenges for schools:

Grades reflect compliance, not mastery
Teachers lack clear insight into skill-level progress
Students focus on points instead of learning
Families struggle to understand academic growth
Standards-based grading becomes difficult to implement consistently
Schools need grading tools DESIGNED for standards-based grading, not retrofitted for for it

JumpRope Was Built Specifically for Standards-Based Grading

JumpRope aligns grading directly to standards, so educators can measure, support, and communicate real learning.
Teachers can easily monitor student progress toward mastery by skill, not just assignment.
Students gain clear visibility into their growth.
Families see meaningful, actionable insights about learning.
Administrators gain consistency across classrooms and schools.
