Class Solver

What Class Solver does

Class Solver is a cloud-based SaaS platform founded in 2013 by Amy White that enables K-12 schools to construct optimally balanced class lists. The product ingests structured student data — including academic level, behavior, social-emotional considerations, and unlimited pair/separate requests — runs a proprietary optimization algorithm refined across hundreds of thousands of classes, and produces balanced class configurations with automated warning flags and a one-click 'Boost' optimization fix. It is hosted on Microsoft Azure with regional data residency in the United States, Australia, and Canada, and integrates with Google and Microsoft single sign-on as well as school Student Information Systems via an import/export workflow.

The platform serves public and private K-12 schools in Australia, New Zealand, the United States, and Canada, with broader global availability, and is sold via an annual subscription priced per enrolled student (US$1.80, CA$2.45, NZ$2.90, AU$2.90). Distribution combines a self-serve product-led signup at classsolver.com with a demo-driven consultative sales motion for school districts and multi-school institutions; a fictitious-data demo account allows prospects to evaluate the platform before purchase.

The company operates through three legal entities — Class Solver LLC (Florida, USA), Class Solver Technology Inc. (British Columbia, Canada), and Class Solver Pty Ltd as trustee for the Class Solver Unit Trust (Victoria, Australia) — and maintains a comprehensive privacy and security posture including SOC 2, FERPA, iKeepSafe CSPC/ATLIS, ST4S, GDPR, PIPEDA, and A4L Student Data Privacy Consortium membership. With 1-10 employees and founder-led operations, Class Solver claims millions of student placements since inception and positions itself as a specialized, compliance-grade alternative to manual spreadsheet or sticky-note class list creation.

Core offering

Class Solver provides a cloud-based SaaS platform that K-12 schools use to build optimized, balanced class lists. Schools import student data from their Student Information System, collect teacher input via surveys, capture parent/student pairing and separation requests, and an optimization algorithm generates class configurations. The platform supports standard classes, language-based classes, streamed ability groups, vertical forms, composites, and camp cabins, with hosted regional data residency and SSO.

Product overview

Class Solver offers a single unified SaaS platform called the Class Solver Placement Software, available at app.classsolver.com. The core product is designed specifically for K-12 class placement and operates through a three-step workflow: Import & Setup (bulk import students and customize teacher surveys), Survey & Requests (collect teacher input and manage pairing/separating requests), and Solve & Share (generate optimized classes and share with teachers). The platform includes features such as the Boost one-click optimization algorithm, unlimited pairing/separation requests, behavior and academic balancing, drag-and-drop interface, warning flags for issues, and cloud-based security with Microsoft Azure hosting. Schools can also use Demo Accounts with fictitious data for evaluation purposes. The software supports multiple deployment types including language-based classes, streamed ability groups, vertical forms, composites, and camp cabins.

Direct peers

• Edval: Australian-headquartered Edval provides timetable and class building software for K-12 schools. It is the most directly comparable product in Class Solver's home market, addressing similar class placement and scheduling use cases for school administrators.
• Class Composer: Class Composer is a US-based class placement software for K-12 schools that directly competes with Class Solver's core workflow - generating balanced class lists from student data and teacher input.

Broad incumbents

• SEQTA: SEQTA is an established Australian K-12 student management and learning platform. While broader than Class Solver, it overlaps in school administration workflows and competes for the same school IT budgets across Australia.
• Synergetic Management Systems: Synergetic is a long-standing Australian K-12 student information system used by many independent schools. It is comparable because it occupies the broader school admin suite where Class Solver's placement feature could be subsumed.
• PowerSchool: PowerSchool is the largest North American K-12 SIS, used by a majority of US districts. It is a relevant peer as the dominant incumbent that could integrate class placement natively and displace standalone tools like Class Solver.
• Infinite Campus: Infinite Campus is a major US K-12 SIS serving many large school districts. Comparable to Class Solver as the incumbent platform controlling school data flows and procurement that Class Solver must integrate with or risk being replaced by.
• FACTS (FACTS Renweb): FACTS is a K-12 SIS and school administration suite widely used by private and faith-based schools in North America. It overlaps with Class Solver's target customers and represents a bundle threat to a standalone placement tool.
• Veracross: Veracross is a SIS for private, independent K-12 schools. It is comparable because it serves the same private school buyer profile as Class Solver's Wesley College, International Grammar School, and similar customers, and could expand into class placement functionality.

Emerging players

• Gradelink: Gradelink is a cloud-based SIS targeting small to mid-sized K-12 schools. It overlaps with Class Solver's mid-market school customer base and is a competing SaaS suite that may add scheduling/placement features.

Regional players

• DayMap: DayMap is an Australian K-12 student management system used primarily in South Australian schools. It is a regional peer addressing the same school administration workflow that Class Solver targets in Australia.
