School Management & Grading System
A comprehensive system for managing school operations, student records, and automated grade computation with report card generation.
Key Engineering Achievements
The engineering decisions and challenges behind this project
Automated Grade Computation Engine
Different subjects, grading scales, and weighting systems make manual grade calculation error-prone and time-consuming.
Built a configurable grading engine that supports multiple grading scales (percentage, letter, GPA), weighted category averages, and automatic class ranking with tie-breaking rules.
Eliminated manual grade calculation errors and reduced report card generation from days to minutes.
Role-Based Access Control
Different stakeholders (admin, teachers, students, parents) need different views and permissions.
Implemented RBAC with four distinct roles. Teachers see only their classes, students see their grades, parents see their children's records, and admins have full system access.
Data privacy maintained while giving every user exactly the access they need.
PDF Report Card Generation
Schools need printable, professional report cards with consistent formatting.
Built a PDF generation pipeline that pulls student data, computes final grades, applies school branding, and generates downloadable report cards with teacher comments and performance graphs.
Batch generation of 500+ report cards in under a minute with zero formatting errors.

Developer's Note
“The grading system was one of the most rewarding projects because it directly reduced teacher workload. Seeing a school go from 3 days of manual report card creation to 10 minutes of automated generation was the best demo day I've ever had.”
