Grading Policy

Making the Grade

Here is a summary of our grading policy.  It might be a little different than what you grew up with, but we’ve learned that this system helps kids learn.

• Errors will be clearly marked on assignments, but teachers put simple comments to represent performance, instead of grades.
• The school is using a 4-Level Grading Scale instead of percent correct when we grade. Scores are not based on percent correct, but on the description of student performance.
• Assignment scores still average, but based on the level of performance, not the percent correct.
