Class lists in hours, not weeks
Effortlessly organize balanced and effective class lists in minutes. Empower your school with intuitive student placement solution.
Class List Creation Shouldn't Be This Hard
Every semester, school administrators face the same exhausting challenge: creating balanced, effective class lists while managing dozens of constraints and requirements.
Weeks of Manual Work
Spending 15+ hours every semester juggling spreadsheets, trying to balance classes manually.
Complex Spreadsheet Nightmares
Managing endless Excel files with student data, requirements, and constraints that become impossible to track.
Frustrated Teachers & Parents
Dealing with complaints about unbalanced classes and difficult classroom dynamics that affect learning.
Unbalanced Class Compositions
Struggling to create fair distributions of gender, behavior levels, and academic abilities across classes.
There has to be a better way… and there is.
Everything you need to balance classes
Shibutz is an easy-to-use student placement software designed to help elementary school administrators quickly create well-balanced classes.
Create Balanced Classes in Minutes
Stop spending weeks on class lists. Import your student data from Excel and our smart algorithm creates perfectly balanced classes based on gender, behavior, friendships, and special needs — all in under 30 minutes.
Smart Algorithm Ensures Perfect Balance
Our advanced algorithm automatically balances classes across six key dimensions: gender ratio, behavioral needs, emotional profiles, social dynamics, learning levels, and attention requirements. No more manual spreadsheet juggling.
Honor Friendships & Reduce Anxiety
Define friend groups and let the algorithm place students with their friends. The system scores placement quality, ensuring the most students possible are with 1, 2, or even 3+ friends — especially important for kindergarten-to-grade transitions.
Handle Complex Requirements Easily
Keep-together pairs, keep-apart rules, assign students to specific classes, set maximum class sizes, control gender balance caps — all handled automatically while maintaining overall class balance.
How It Works
Create balanced classes in three simple steps
Import Student Data
Import or add manually your students' information. Provide information such as gender, skills (social, emotional, learning) and requested friends.
Set Parameters
Define additional criteria, such as assigning students to specific classes and avoid placing siblings together.
Generate
Generate class lists that match your criteria. Our automated system provides a balanced class list, which takes into consideration all the parameters for the best results.
