Biggest opportunity: “course management”, “education” and “grades” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

How it's measured →0.3%
of downloads still active
At least 30 of 10.9K lifetime downloads are still running, below its category: the median Education plugin keeps 1.1%, across 176 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Education plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 9 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.
| Keyword | wp.org | On merit | wp.org move, 90 days |
|---|---|---|---|
| gradebook your tag | #2 | #4 | 0 |
| course management your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| education your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| grades your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
| students your tag | Not in the top 24 | ||
1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 4 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Just about what i needed for my LMS courses. It lets the admin and other roles assigned by the admin to add gradebooks for the courses they created. Big ups for the additional assignment feature too!

This plugin is in my eyes the simplest way to add a free gradebook to your wordpress website. I had some troubles to get it working, but the developer offered amazing support to get my gradebook operational. My students and I are extremely happy with Aori his efforts.

Super easy setup. Students see only their own grades, so it’s private. Just getting started…more to explore!

I have a simple site for my students to check their homework. Some requested a way to view their grades online and with this plugin it took me no time at all to do so. I really think the description of this plugin doesn’t do it justice. With this plugin you can use WordPress Subscriber logins to allow students to login to their own dashboard and view their grades, compare their grades with the class (anonymously) and see stats. I’m really impressed with the simplicity of this plugin and if it was a paid plugin I would’ve paid any price.

The Author is extremely helpful, quick and responsive. The plugin has progressed a great deal over the past month, and it is slowly turning into an awesome plugin. im going to stick with it and see where it goes. the author listens to users and has been implementing their suggestions.

I have wanted a plugin like this for a while now. I’m running WP on a Network installation and have experienced no serious problems. This is still a basic gradebook, but the author has updated considerably since I last reviewed the plugin. In fact, he has implemented a number of suggestions I made when I last reviewed the plugin. The author is enormously helpful and responsive. For example, I have experienced two occasions when he has helped to address an issue within hours of learning about it. His approach embodies all that is great about open source. For those WordPress-using instructors looking for a relatively straightforward way to enable students to see their grades without having to run across multiple LMS interfaces, this plugin is more than proof of concept. It is functional and worth a look.

AN_Gradebook plugin helped me much in my MIS thesis (Online Registration and Enrollment System). The Author, Aori Nevo, is very helpful. He answers all queries fast. Updates are done quickly too! Kuddos, Aori! Keep up!
