Grading System for Elementary School


Formative and summative assessments are used by teachers to evaluate student progress in meeting grade level standards. Feedback from teachers can include comments or number grades.

Report cards are used quarterly to report student progress on the acquisition of these standards.

The scale used on the report cards is the following:

  1. Below Standard
  2. Approaching Standard
  3. Meets Standard
  4. Exceeds Standard 

An asterisk (*) is given when the content covered has been modified to meet a student's needs. Special services received throughout the quarter are also reported. Teachers also write comments on the report cards to provide more details about content covered, individual student progress and suggestions on possible areas for improvement.

For our co-curricular classes, our grading scale is P/NP in which P=Participated and NP= Not Present.
