Today teachers and schools have more ways than ever to track student progress. Each platform takes a different approach: some focus on daily competency growth, others on end-of-term summaries, engagement patterns, or district-wide data. Here’s a clear, side-by-side look at four popular tools to help you decide what works best for your students and team.
Redmenta’s tracking system is built for every teacher, from primary to university, with a laser focus on competency-based insights. It monitors student progress by tracking their mastery of competencies (skills and learning outcomes) rather than just grades. It turns any worksheet—open-ended, multilingual, or even scanned paper—into visual profiles and trend cards for groups.
MagicSchool Student Room Insights offers real-time engagement analytics plus auto-generated end-of-term Student Summaries. Teachers can set specific learning objectives for AI chats, and student threads make progress toward those goals clearly visible. Enterprise districts can also pre-load custom tools aligned to their exact standards.
Google Classroom Analytics is a free, built-in dashboard showing assignment completion, grades, and basic participation, enhanced by Gemini Education for standards-aligned tracking and performance insights.
Schoolytics is a district-level data platform that pulls together SIS, LMS, attendance, and assessment data for MTSS, interventions, and whole-school reporting.
Redmenta creates living competency profiles with a unique “aging” system (dark red = fresh mastery, fading = forgotten) and a complete Learning Journal of every activity.
It combines this with a built-in student interest profile to generate personalised tasks that target weak competencies through engaging topics. Unlike MagicSchool, where only the primary teacher can access insights, Redmenta allows any teacher overseeing subjects to view and act on profiles, ensuring team-wide visibility.
MagicSchool auto-generates polished Student Summaries covering behaviour, strengths, interests, and growth areas displaying visible progress. Teachers can set learning objectives or goals for chats under Additional Fields (e.g., assessing comprehension of attached expectations), where the AI categorises progress as "Needs more support" "Approaching" or "Demonstrating" providing conversation summaries and individual status views.
Google Classroom uses the 'Students' tab to show individual progress, assignment history and grades, now enhanced by Gemini Education for learning goals analytics and tagging to standards, providing a more structured view. It's assignment-focused with no evolving competency or interest layer.
Schoolytics aggregates grades, attendance, and intervention history but doesn’t build evolving skill profiles.
Redmenta’s Trend Cards instantly reveal class-wide skill gaps and patterns and the “Focus on These Learners” button flags up to five students for immediate support or extension.
MagicSchool Full Room Insights shows the whole class breakdown with a detailed table that tracks individual metrics: time spent, engagement level, AI-generated summary, and alignment to the teacher-set learning objective. In the Progress column, teachers can instantly see each student’s status (seen above) such as “Needs more support,” “Approaching,” or “Demonstrating”.
Google Classroom shows completion percentages, now with Gemini-powered insights for differentiating instruction and identifying students needing support.
Schoolytics flags tier changes and absenteeism.
Redmenta is still the only tool that tells you exactly which skill to reteach tomorrow.
Redmenta gives teachers full control—invite any co-teacher or admin—plus one-click IEP exports, with school-wide subscriptions enabling custom curriculum alignment for the entire institution.
MagicSchool shares summaries district-wide on paid plans.
Google Classroom Analytics is visible only to the primary teacher; co-teachers are usually locked out unless granted full admin privileges, and admins access aggregated 'Highlights' reports on activity metrics.
Schoolytics provides role-based district dashboards for teachers, counsellors, and leadership, though it lacks native paper workflow support.
