Does it support both JSS and SSS grading in the same system?

Yes. OpenEduCat handles JSS (3 years) and SSS (3 years) in the same installation. Each school level can have its own grading period structure and report card template.

Can we track WAEC and NECO exam results separately?

Yes. External examination results (WASSCE, BECE, NECO) are stored as a separate field category linked to the student record, excluded from the internal school GPA but visible on the comprehensive academic history.

Gradebook Built for Nigeria's JSS and SSS: A1–F9 Scale and Continuous Assessment

Nigerian secondary schools use a grading system where A1 (75–100%) through F9 (below 45%) combines with 30% Continuous Assessment and 70% examination marks. OpenEduCat pre-loads the WAEC/NECO grading scale, splits CA from exam scores, and generates school-branded report cards — for Junior Secondary School and Senior Secondary School.

Class Position and Rank Across All Subjects

Nigerian schools traditionally print each student's position in class (e.g., "2nd out of 38") on the report card. OpenEduCat computes class rank per subject and overall, for the current term and cumulatively — the figures appear automatically on the printed report card without manual calculation.
