About this dataset

A grade book is the shortest path to practising the statistical function family on data you can sanity-check by eye: averages, medians, standard deviation, ranking, and a lookup table that turns a score into a letter grade. Scores are spread widely enough that a bell-curve chart and a RANK column both look like the real thing.

What you can practise with it

  • Average, median and standard deviation per student and per subject
  • Convert a score to a letter grade with a lookup table
  • RANK students and break ties
  • Highlight the top and bottom decile with conditional formatting

Questions

Is this sample student grades free to use?

Yes — for practice, teaching, demos and commercial work alike. The rows are generated, so there is no personal data in the file. Attribution is not required; if you would like to credit it, there is a ready-made line at the bottom of this page.

Do I have to sign up or give an email address?

No. The file is built in your browser when you click download; nothing is uploaded and no account is involved.

Which formats can I download?

Excel (.xlsx), CSV and JSON. All three contain the same rows, so you can use the CSV for an import exercise and the .xlsx for a formula exercise.

Can I choose how many rows I get?

Yes. Pick a row count before downloading — the default is 180 rows, which is what the preview on this page is drawn from.
