AI Grading Tool for High School Teachers
GradingPal is the AI grading tool built specifically for grades 9-12 and AP teachers.

Apply Rubric
Select a pre-built template aligned with CCSS ELA 9-12, AP scoring guidelines, NGSS HS performance expectations, or build your own with full customization.

AI Scoring & Feedback
The AI applies your rubric and generates rigorous, college-prep-level feedback (e.g., "Sophisticated thesis with nuanced argument — strengthen the synthesis of sources in paragraph 3 for a score of 6/6").
Review & Analyze
Use the real-time analytics dashboard to track individual student progress, class-wide performance gaps, and AP exam readiness.
Export & Sync
One-click export of scores and feedback directly to Google Classroom across all your sections.
Key Benefits for Grades 9-12 & AP Teachers
Massive Time Savings
High school teachers typically reclaim 60-80% of grading time — an average of 5.9 hours per week — to focus on instruction, AP prep, and student conferences.
College-Prep-Level Feedback
AI-generated comments match the rigor of AP scoring guidelines, preparing students for college-level writing and thinking.
Standards-Based Grading Made Simple
Pre-built rubrics aligned with CCSS ELA 9-12, AP English Language, AP English Literature, AP History, NGSS HS, and state standards.

Real-time analytics reveal readiness gaps (e.g., "45% of students need stronger synthesis skills before the AP exam") so you can target instruction effectively.
Seamless Integration
Direct sync with Google Classroom eliminates manual grade entry across all your periods and eliminates end-of-quarter data entry marathons.
