Student Grade Tracker

Student Grade Tracker is a command-line Python script that uses object-oriented programming to manage and report student grades. It features a Student class for storing individual names and numeric grades, and a GradeBook class for computing averages and printing a formatted terminal report. The entire tool runs from a single .py file with no setup or dependencies required.

Features

• Object-Oriented Design: Built with Student and GradeBook classes for clean, modular code.
• Automated Grade Calculations: Computes each student's individual average and the overall class average.
• Formatted Terminal Report: Prints a clear, readable grade summary directly to the terminal.
• Single-File Script: No packages or project folders needed — just one .py file.

How It Works

Quick note: Students and grades are hardcoded in the script. To use your own data, edit the student list at the bottom of grade_tracker.py before running.

The Student class stores a student's name and a list of numeric grade values, and includes a method to calculate their individual average. The GradeBook class holds a list of Student objects and handles adding students, computing the class-wide average, and printing the full summary report.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8 or higher

Installation

No installation or additional packages required:

1. Download or clone this repository.
2. Open a terminal and navigate to the folder containing grade_tracker.py.

git clone https://github.com/Dylonspithotfire/student-grade-tracker.git
cd student-grade-tracker

Usage

Run the script from your terminal:

python grade_tracker.py

Expected output:

Student Grade Report
--------------------
Alice: Average: 89.00
Bob: Average: 75.80
Carol: Average: 92.00
David: Average: 67.00
Eva: Average: 97.60
--------------------
Class Average: 84.28

Customizing Student Data

Open grade_tracker.py and edit the student list inside the if __name__ == "__main__": block:

gradebook.add_student(Student("Your Student Name", [85, 90, 78, 92, 88]))

Each Student takes:

• A name as a string
• A list of numeric grade values (integers or floats)
