Editorial Review
ThinkWave bundles a capable cloud gradebook with light school-administration features—grades, attendance and reporting that smaller schools and individual teachers need. The interface feels dated and onboarding takes some effort, but the freemium pricing and education-specific focus make it a practical, low-cost option.
