Your question is interesting because unlike almost all others on this
forum, you have no real committment to Ruby. You're just looking for the
easiest route to solving your problem.

As a result it rather depends precisely what your problem is.

A database cannot measure performance. You might mean you would like to
capture something like grade performance and then analyse that by
teacher, course, school, curriculum, student entry grading - various
things like that.

The issue is do you want to do that yourself, sell a package that other
groups could use, or set up a web site that offers a central service?

These involve very different challenges and skill requirements.

By the way Access is brilliant - I've never seen another database come
close. I understand Bill Gates had a soft spot for it. It's a half
decent relational database (Jet) but more than that it is a Query By
Example environment. After that it does reports and forms etc.

Access (like Excel) is a functional programming environment. Personally
I think it is easier to pick these up than OO platforms like Ruby.

However, Access (like Excel) is no good for Web deployment simply 
because
Microsoft went off down the geeky .NET and Sharepoint routes and left
simple folk high-and-dry.

Bear in mind Phillip's remarks about Mendix are without any knowledge of
it.
