How about trying something to simplify all this? Really. It's EDfinity's Student Placement Module. First, information about students is collected - everything from standardized test scores to the street they live on - it's up to you, you set the criteria. We can even input behavior or special education codes. We're an education-based company; we get it. Next, prioritize the importance of certain criteria which decides how students are distributed evenly across all homerooms. Our Placement Module does the rest of the work - ensuring that all students are optimally placed. Once placed in a homeroom, the Placement Module allows you to instantly view statistics for all homerooms on a single screen. And with this module in place, any changes can be made to a homeroom at any time -- while still allowing you to view each homeroom's statistics update in real time. Without the hassle of maintaining computer backups or the hidden cost of additional servers or technology staff to maintain this system, EDfinity's Student Placement Module runs without backups, needs no servers, saves administrative hours, needs no IT staff, is available 24 hours a day/7 days a week, and literally pays for itself within its first year.
