Graduation Progress
for PowerSchool

Every credit earned, every gap identified, every at-risk student flagged — in a view that takes one second to read instead of ten minutes to build from a table.

The Problem
Graduation data is buried in tables
PowerSchool stores every grade and enrollment record a student has ever had. But when a counselor needs to answer "Is this student on track to graduate?" — they're staring at rows and columns, manually counting credits across nine categories, and hoping they didn't miss one.
At-risk students get identified in April. They should be identified in October.
The Solution
See progress at a glance
Same data that's already in PowerSchool. Transformed into something a counselor can read in one second and act on immediately.
🎯

Progress Ring

Animated SVG ring showing overall completion percentage with earned (green), in-progress (yellow), and remaining credits at a glance.

📊

Category Breakdown

Nine requirement categories, each with a progress bar, earned/required count, and color-coded individual course grades. No mental math required.

🚨

At-Risk Flags

Automatic identification of students missing required categories or falling behind expected pace for their grade level. Flags early enough to intervene.

📋

Additional Requirements

Track Civics Exam, FAFSA submission, and College & Career Readiness Indicators alongside credit progress. The whole picture in one view.

Important Note
This enhances — it doesn't replace
Graduation Progress does not replace PowerSchool's built-in graduation planner. It reads the same stored grades and enrollment data through PowerQuery, then renders it with visual progress indicators and automatic at-risk flags. Your data stays in PowerSchool. This plugin just makes it faster to see and act on.
Data & Security
Built for district approval
✓

Read-only — does not write to any PowerSchool tables, only reads existing grade and enrollment data

✓

No external data transfer — all rendering happens inside PowerSchool's own pages

✓

ALSDE format compliant — follows the same plugin structure used by state-deployed plugins

✓

District IT controlled — install, configure, and remove through Plugin Management
