GRADES

Standards-based grading is a method of measuring student progress based on specific learning standards. Instead of receiving a single letter grade for an assignment or test, students are assessed on their mastery of individual skills and concepts. This means that they are graded on how well they demonstrate their understanding of specific learning goals, rather than just their overall performance. Standards-based grading helps teachers identify areas where students may need more support or challenge, and helps parents and students better understand how to improve their learning. By focusing on the skills and concepts that matter most, we can help our students succeed and reach their full potential. 

Our grading scale is as follows: 4 (Exemplar) - 3 (Meets) - 2 (Progressing) - 1 (Beginning)
