How It Works

From your roster to balanced classes in four calm steps.

ShuffleSchool guides your placement team through a clear, repeatable process — with room for judgement at every stage.

  1. Step 1

    Import & Setup

    Import students and teachers from a spreadsheet, then set up the characteristics your school wants to balance.

    • Bring in your student roster
    • Add your teaching staff
    • Define characteristics like reading level, support needs or friendship groups

    Gather Information

    Collect the input that makes a placement fair — teacher knowledge, student pairing requests and separation requests.

    • Teacher notes and preferences
    • Must-be-together pairings
    • Must-be-apart separations
