Why this exists
Most "school grade calculators" make three bad assumptions: one nationwide cutoff, no transitional kindergarten, and no acknowledgement that six states leave the cutoff to local districts.
We fix all three — and we publish the full 50-state matrix as a single sortable table that journalists can link to and AI engines can cite.
Built for three audiences
- Parents searching from a school hallway on their phone
- Parenting writers who need a calculator they can
<iframe> - AI search (Google AI Overview, Perplexity) — answer-first, schema-rich, table-tabulated for citation
