MarkTrack for small schools and maktabs

Twenty kids in a maktab on Saturday morning. Thirty in a weekend Quran program. A small Hifz halaqa run by one teacher out of the masjid basement. These programs do not need a fifteen-module SIS. They need attendance, grades, parent communication, and a phone app that just works.

That is what we made sure MarkTrack does well at any size.

Set up in an afternoon

Add the school. Add the students, or paste them in. Add yourself as the teacher. Done. There is no per-class setup wizard, no district compliance form, no required integrations. The free tier covers small programs with no card on file.

Attendance from your phone

Take attendance in seconds while the kids are walking in. Tap each name. Submit. Parents of absent students get a notification on their phone before the class even starts. No registry book, no end-of-day data entry.

Parents already have the app

Parents in 2026 do not check their email five times a day. They check their phone. The MarkTrack parent app shows their child's attendance, grades, upcoming work, and any school messages, without making them remember a portal URL or reset a password every other week.

Grow without rebuilding

Some maktabs stay small forever, and that is fine. Others end up growing into part-time academies with three teachers and a hundred students. The same MarkTrack instance grows with you. New school, new teacher, new program type, all flip on without a migration.

The same software the big schools use

Small programs run on the same code path as full-time academies. You get the same Hifz tracker, the same grading engine, the same iPhone and Android apps, just scaled to your size.

See it on the features page, or say hi and we will get you started.
