  Schoolytics provides an all-in-one analytics dashboard with distinct views for students, parents, teachers and administrators to track grades, upcoming assignments, completion rates and classroom- or school-level trends. The product ingests data primarily from Google Classroom to surface insights, flag sudden drops in performance, and automate reports like honor roll or progress summaries. The company is building a built-in messaging system to give teachers a dedicated, safe channel to communicate with students or classes. Schoolytics offers a free plan for teachers (up to 10 Google Classrooms) and a paid plan starting at $10 per month for up to 100 Classrooms, with the expectation that districts will pay at scale. Financially, the company raised a $2.8 million seed round and currently has a team of around 10 people while working with more than 500 schools.
