How the Class Average formula works

A simple average:

Class average = Sum of all scores / Number of scores

Step-by-step calculation

  1. Add up every student's score.
  2. Divide by the total number of scores.

Worked example

Scores of 78, 85, 92, 67, 88: Sum = 410. Average = 410/5 = 82.

Frequently asked questions

Does this weight scores by anything, like assignment type?

No — this calculates a simple, equally-weighted average of the scores entered. For a weighted average across different assignment categories, the Weighted Average Calculator handles that instead.
