Django orm get latest for each group

I believe this would give you the student and the data

Score.objects.values('student').annotate(latest_date=Max('date'))

If you want the full Score records, it seems you will have to use a raw SQL query: Filtering Django Query by the Record with the Maximum Column Value

If your DB is postgres which supports distinct() on field you can try

Score.objects.order_by('student__username', '-date').distinct('student__username')

This should work on Django 1.2+ and MySQL:

Score.objects.annotate(
  max_date=Max('student__score__date')
).filter(
  date=F('max_date')
)
