At our school this year we used Grade Quick! from Jackson Software. (I'm no
longer at that school and do not have the phone # although it is 1-800 and
could probably be found from the information operator). It had all the
features you mentioned, and my contact person also told me they could do
custom work if needed. You can call direct or purchase it from a software
jobber catalog. Good luck!
