Grading Information
-
Grades 1-5: We use a 4-point grading scale (1-4) for the majority of our grades. This scale will be used for reading, writing, math, social studies (in grades 3-5), and science. The grade descriptions are as follows:
-
4 = Excels in standards
-
3 = Proficient in standards
-
2 = Below standards
-
1 = Well below standards
-
-
Final grades are an average of the 3 marking periods.
-
Specialty Grades and Social Studies (in grades K-2):
-
Science will be graded using the same 1-4 scale described above.
-
Social Studies in grades K-2 will use a grade of P (pass) or F (fail).
-
For PE, Music, Drama, Art, and Library + Technology, we will use a grade of P (pass) or F (fail).
