Gradelink is a student information system used by more than 2,200 schools and 400,000 users, according to its website, and it has served schools for 24 years. The feature list covers what a small or mid-sized private school needs day to day: daily and class attendance with extended care check-in, block scheduling and concurrent terms, custom grade scales, customizable and standards-based report cards, discipline records, IEP tracking and medical records. Communication runs through SmartSend email blasts, a group builder, teacher web pages and school news, while text and voice messaging is a paid premium service. Gradelink also sells school websites. The company builds each school's account, trains all staff and includes unlimited phone and email support plus automatic updates. Pricing is not published: schools answer a few questions, including approximate student count, and receive an emailed quote after the school is verified, so the price here is marked pending.
