Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is AI grading for math assessments?

AutoGrading achieves over 95% agreement with human graders on standard math problems. Unlike simple answer-checking, our system analyzes student work step-by-step, recognizing correct methodology even when the final answer contains a calculation error. You always have full control to review and adjust any grade before it's finalized—the AI assists, you decide.

Can it read handwritten student work?

Yes. AutoGrading is trained specifically on K-12 handwritten math, including the unique ways students write numbers, symbols, and show their work. Simply scan or photograph completed assessments, and our system processes them in seconds. For best results, we recommend students write clearly on unlined or graph paper.

Does the AI give partial credit for showing work?

Absolutely—this is where AutoGrading shines. Our system evaluates the problem-solving process, not just the final answer. If a student sets up an equation correctly but makes an arithmetic mistake in step three, AutoGrading recognizes the valid reasoning and awards appropriate partial credit based on your rubric.

Will this replace my professional judgment as a teacher?

Never. AutoGrading is designed to handle the time-consuming first pass of grading so you can focus on what matters: identifying struggling students, adjusting instruction, and providing meaningful support. You review every grade, can override any score, and the system learns from your corrections over time.

Is student data safe and private?

Yes. AutoGrading is fully FERPA compliant and follows strict data protection protocols. Student work is encrypted in transit and at rest, never used to train external AI models, and you control data retention settings. We never sell or share student information.

How does it align with Common Core and state standards?

AutoGrading automatically maps each question to relevant Common Core standards (and state-specific standards where applicable). This means every graded assessment generates mastery data you can use for reporting, parent conferences, and instructional planning—without extra work.

How much time will I actually save?

Teachers in our pilot program reported saving 4-6 hours per week on grading alone. A 30-student class set that previously took 2-3 hours to grade can be completed in under 15 minutes, including your review. That's time back for lesson planning, one-on-one support, or simply going home on time.

Does it integrate with my existing tools?

AutoGrading integrates seamlessly with Google Classroom, Canvas, Schoology, and most major learning management systems. You can also export grades and reports as CSV files for any gradebook. No need to change your workflow—we fit into it.
