K-12 classroom & common assessment
Every test tells you who needs help — and what to do next.
Naiku scores your assessments the moment students finish, then writes the takeaways for you: which students to pull into a small group, which standard to reteach, and who might need a quiet check-in.
Used by schools and districts for formative, benchmark and common assessments.
How it works
From test to next step, without the grading pile
- 1
Use the tests you already have
Upload a Word or PDF test and type the answer key, import from ExamView or TestGen, or build your own. A 5-question exit ticket or a full unit test.
- 2
Let Naiku do the grading
Scores are ready the moment students submit. Written answers are scored with your rubric, one question at a time across the class. Prefer paper? Print bubble sheets and scan them.
- 3
Know what to do
Naiku points out small groups to target, standards to reteach, common wrong answers and students who rushed — in plain language.

What makes Naiku different
More than scores
Students learn to judge their own understanding
Before they see a score, students predict how they did and rate how sure they are on each question. Afterward they reflect on what they missed. Their results page shows where they were sure but wrong, the questions worth the most attention.
- Score predictions and confidence on every question
- Reflections teachers can read and reply to
- “Sure, but missed” points students to likely misconceptions
Insights written for you
Not just a grade book of numbers. Naiku writes the takeaways in plain language: the small group to pull, the standard to reteach, the wrong answer many students chose, and who rushed.
One system from classroom to district
The quizzes teachers give every week and the benchmarks a district gives every quarter live in one place, so results roll up from class to teacher to school to district, by standard.
What educators say
Faster insight, less busywork
Free and Reduced Lunch students outperforming statewide averages in math
“In collaboration with Naiku, Eagle Ridge Academy has been enhancing data-driven instructional practices, leading to impressive gains in student learning. Thanks to Naiku’s responsiveness in developing customized reports aligned with the strategies outlined in Driven by Data 2.0 by Paul Bambrick-Santoyo, educators have been able to implement these methods more efficiently and effectively.
The results speak for themselves: Free and Reduced Lunch students at ERA are outperforming statewide averages in math and are making significant progress in closing the gap in reading.”

Naiku also feeds ERA’s interim assessment results into the Academy’s data warehouse, so each student’s profile includes their assessment insights and teachers can take a whole-child approach to student needs.
