I work in a school and my principal asked if I could create a database so that she can keep track of student benchmark scores for K-5th. I have been working on it since late November and pretty much done with it but have been modifying/adding things to it. I am using Access and VB6. I have not really worked with databases at all, just took a course in it about 3 years ago.
The following are the tables I am using
Teachers - Id and name
Students - Id, name, etc..
Class_roster - TeacherID and StudentID
GradeList - TeacherID and GradeLevel
Benchmarks - StudentID, Subject, and 10 scores
Here are a few things that need to be addressed and been thinking of how to go about it.
Teacher id #s will/might change as we lose or get new teachers
My Solution : Create tables with school year attached to it
Ex. Teachers0607 - (2006 - 2007 Teachers)
Students - New students and student withdrawals
Currently I have row associated with id# removed from table
My Solution : Have two seperate tables Active & Inactive to
store Student ID#s and leave the Students table alone OR use the field Status in the Students table to indicate Active, Inactive, or Graduate(left elementary)
Benchmarks and State tests - Every year there are different scores
of course.
My Solution : Create tables with school year attached to it
Ex. Benchmarks0607 - (scores for 2006-2007)
Of course now the relationships. What might be wrong with it?
