Each grade scale defines:Cutoff values (e.g., 90% and above = A, 80% and above = B, etc.)Grade labels and descriptors (e.g., A = Excelling, C = Needs support).You can adjust cutoff values of a grade scale at the course/subject level, but not the labels, descriptors, or colors (these come from the school setup).Use the Add additional grade scales button to add multiple grade scales.If you're using more than one grade scale per grading period, you can mark one as the primary grade scale using the ⭐ icon. The primary grade scale is considered the official or main grade for that grading period. Toddle uses this scale in places where only one final grade can be shown, such as transcripts.You may also choose dependent grade scales for the overall grade. These convert results from a regular grade scale into another reporting format (for example, mapping A–F grades into Mastery grade scale aligned with national reporting standards).
Score/letter-based gradingStandards-based gradingManually assign a grade
If categories are defined: The overall score is calculated from category scores, using the weights assigned to each category.If categories are not defined: The overall score is calculated directly from the assignment scores and their weights.Classwork score: 83%Homework score: 84%Unit Test score: 79%Mid-Term Exam score: 87%
Select one or more standard set–grade scale combinations you want to use for the final grade. Only standard set(s) mapped to the course/subject will appear (e.g., Design – A–F).Each standard set has vertical and horizontal roll-up methods:Horizontal roll-up decides how multiple ratings for the same learning outcome are combined into a score for that learning outcome.Vertical roll-up decides how individual learning outcome scores combine into a parent standard score.Roll-up methods (horizontal and vertical) are applied to arrive at the parent standard ratings.Parent standard ratings are then converted into the final grade scale selected for reporting.If multiple grade scales are selected, Toddle will display multiple final grade values for the same score.If multiple standard sets are mapped, Toddle first calculates a parent rating for each standard set using its configured roll-up methods, and then combines those parent ratings across all standard sets to derive the student’s final grade.Standard set: Design – A–FGrade scale applied to standards: A–FFinal grade scales selected: Mastery for Design, A-F and 1–7 scale (dependent on A-F)Vertical roll-up: Mean valueHorizontal roll-up: Mean valueThe student is evaluated on individual Design standards, each rated using the A–F scale. If a strand has been rated multiple times, the system combines those ratings using the configured horizontal roll-up method (Mean value) to arrive at a strand score.Strand scores are then rolled up to the Design standard set level using the vertical roll-up method (Mean value).The rolled-up Design score is converted into the selected final grade scales:On the A–F scale, Ahmed’s overall roll-up = A.On the Mastery for Design scale, an A corresponds to 75% or higher, which maps to Acc (Accomplishing) on this scale.On the dependent 1–7 scale, an A maps to a 6, based on the A–F to 1–7 grade scale mapping.
A grade scale (for example, A–F or 1–5) is selected at the course or subject level for the grading period.Toddle does not use assignment scores or standards performance to calculate the final grade.Teachers directly assign a grade to each student from the grade dropdown in the gradebook.
How can I set up the final grade calculation method for my course or subject?

Final grades provide a single overall measure of student performance in a course or subject. School administrators set a default final grade calculation method at the school level, which applies to all courses/subjects by default; however, as a course editor, you can override this calculation for your specific course or subject.
Configure the final grade for the course/subject
To configure the final grade calculation method for your course/subject, go to your class and use the right pane to navigate to: Settings → Course/Subject settings → Grading configurations → Final grade.
Note: Any changes you make will apply to this course or subject and will be visible to administrators at the school level.
Step 1: Choose grade scale(s)
For each course or subject and grading period, select one or more grade scales defined at the school level.
Note: If your school follows a subject-based setup, final grade configurations are managed at the subject level. Any changes made to the final grade configuration for a subject will apply to all courses linked to that subject and grade.
Step 2: Choose the grading method
Once the grade scales are selected, choose how the final grade should be calculated using the Calculate grade from dropdown. You can select one of the following options:
1. Score/letter-based grading
In this method, the final grade is calculated from assignment scores within a grading period. Categories may or may not be defined.
Once the overall score is determined, it is converted into a grade using grade scales defined by the school.
Let’s understand this with an example:
In a grading period, the following categories and weights are configured: Classwork – 20%, Homework – 10%, Unit Test – 40% and Mid-Term Exam – 30%.
For Diego Jonas, the category scores are:
Each category score is calculated from the assignments within that category. These category scores are then combined using their assigned weights to arrive at an overall score of 83% for the grading period.
This overall score is then converted into a grade using the selected grade scale: 83% → B (A–F scale). So, Diego’s final grade for the grading period is recorded as 83% (B).
2. Standards-based grading
In this method, grades are derived from a student’s performance on learning standards. Here you can:
Tip: To learn more about how grades are calculated using vertical and horizontal roll-up methods, refer to
article. Let’s understand this with an example:
For Ahmed Ali:
Here’s how the final grade is derived:
Therefore, Ahmed Ali’s final grade for the grading period is recorded as A (A–F scale), Acc (Accomplishing) (Mastery for Design scale), and 6 (1–7 dependent scale).
3. Manually assign a grade
In this method, Toddle does not auto-calculate the final grade. Teachers manually select the final grade for each student for a grading period using the configured grade scale.
