How Does Grading Work at Excel High School?

Excel High School uses a combination of AI-powered grading and human review to ensure fair, accurate, and efficient assessment of student work. While AI assists in grading, experienced educators conduct spot checks and reviews to maintain accuracy and uphold academic integrity.

AI-Powered Grading

Excel High School uses artificial intelligence (AI) grading technology for many types of assignments and assessments, including:

Multiple-choice quizzes and exams – AI grades these instantly, providing immediate feedback.
Short-answer and written responses – AI evaluates structure, grammar, and content.

Success Coach Review & Spot Checks

While AI grading helps with efficiency, Excel High School ensures quality control by:

Spot-checking AI-graded work to verify accuracy.
Manually reviewing flagged responses that require deeper evaluation.
Providing human feedback for assignments where detailed guidance is necessary.
