CBC report cards describe what a learner can do, using performance levels and comments per learning area. In junior school, school-based assessment also feeds into KJSEA outcomes. Compiling these by hand in Word takes a week each term and invites errors. Report card software lets teachers record levels as they go and produces consistent, printable reports. Here is how the options compare, and why Anademy Report Cards is our pick for schools that want a fast, focused tool rather than a full ERP.
About the name: Anademy = Ananke + Academy. It is the family of school systems made by Ananke Digital, a Kenyan software team. Each Anademy tool is set up for the individual school on order.
