GradeScout is an AI-powered essay grading assistant built for English and language arts teachers. It scans handwritten student essays, typed submissions, and PDFs, then delivers instant, rubric-based grading alongside detailed, actionable feedback. Teachers can use built-in rubrics for argumentative, narrative, and expository writing, or create custom rubrics tailored to their classroom. GradeScout also aligns assessments to curriculum standards like AP, IB, and Common Core, so feedback speaks the same language as your school's expectations.
Beyond scoring, every essay is checked for potential AI-generated content and plagiarism, giving teachers a clearer picture of student authenticity. Longitudinal dashboards track each student's growth over time, while class-wide analytics highlight trends and areas for whole-group instruction. Student identities are protected throughout — only initials appear in shared views, and sensitive grades stay behind a per-student folder lock until you choose to open them.
GradeScout is built and maintained by the GradeScout team, with input from classroom teachers who know the grind of giving meaningful feedback on dozens of essays every week. Our mission is to give teachers their evenings back while helping every student grow as a writer.
