Student Placement Software

What is Class Creator?

Class Creator is the world leader in student placement. It is designed by educators who were

sick of making classes using sticky notes and overloaded spreadsheets.

How does Class Creator

work?

Class Creator is a cloud-application that collects student data from teachers via an online survey.

Once surveys are completed balanced classes are generated instantly, using Class Creator’s “teacher logic” algorithm.

Schools can easily edit classes while receiving feedback and alerts in real-time. New classes can be shared to receive feedback from all staff.

Teacher’s receive Survey invitation

What doesn’t Class Creator

do?

Class Creator doesn’t know our students

like we do!Class Creator is a tool to allow us to save time and make better classes for our school.

Rest assured all student placement decisions will be made by the educators of this school, not a computer.

Class Creator can’t make the impossible, possible.

It is impossible to separate four students amongst three classes.

Class A Class B Class C ???

Please use Separations and Pairings for essential situations only

Class Creator doesn’t recognize siblings.

If you wish to keep siblings or family members together or apart, please use the

Separations/Pairing options provided in the surveys.
