Grading just got a whole lot easier. With GradeGenie’s Free Rubric Finder, educators can instantly access downloadable, standards-aligned rubrics tailored to their subject and grade level—without the hassle of searching, formatting, or building from scratch.

Whether you’re teaching middle school English, high school biology, or elementary art, GradeGenie helps you grade with confidence, fairness, and consistency—right from the start.

Why Rubrics Matter

Rubrics are more than just scoring guides—they’re tools that bring clarity, fairness, and transparency to the grading process. A well-crafted rubric sets expectations for students, aligns assessments to learning objectives, and helps you provide consistent feedback across assignments.

But building rubrics from scratch can be time-consuming, especially when you’re juggling multiple classes and responsibilities. That’s where GradeGenie steps in.
