Hi i am making a school information software. Is there any third party reliable library that can be used for calculating grades of students referring marks for the same from specified database.It should be flexible enough to let client specify criteria for grade calculation in terms of standard deviation, median etc.

Have you thought about using a rules engine such as Drools, JESS or JRules. Then you would be able to dynamically change the rules without having to change your source code
