I use org-mode to keep track of grades and all other information I collect on students. I make great use of tables, table formulas, tags, headlines, and lists. I can compute a grade in milliseconds. Entering data is a snap. Since everything is plain text, I can add comments with ease and use git to keep track of everything.
