SeatPilot uses student performance data to create optimized seating arrangements. Upload grades, and our algorithm distributes students across tiers — ensuring balanced groups, strategic pairings, and no low-performer clustering.
Grades are processed entirely in your browser and never stored on our servers. Only student names and seat positions are saved — fully FERPA compliant by design.

Teachers love it.
Students benefit.
I used to spend 45 minutes rearranging desks every grading period. Now I upload my gradebook and have an optimized chart in under a minute.
The tier distribution is genius. My struggling students are spread out and paired with strong peers. I've seen real improvement in engagement.
As a department head, I love that no grade data is stored. It's the first edtech tool our district approved without a lengthy review process.
