Reporting Student Learning Progress
During the 2024–2025 academic year, the district started transitioning into a new grading method. Standards-based grading breaks down content areas into smaller learning objectives to help better measure student learning, providing parents with more meaningful and accurate information while reporting the current level of learning for each child.
The report card grades reflect a student's academic performance based on factors such as tests, quizzes, projects, and rubrics. Non-academic aspects as in work completion, attendance, and behavior (personal and social habits) are reported separately to clearly distinguish between a student's academic ability and their overall effort and conduct in the classroom. By presenting both academic and non-academic information, the school can effectively communicate with parents and students about their overall performance and areas of improvement, providing a well-rounded education for all students.
In addition, the district's standards-based report card provides information about how a child is progressing toward pre-established grade level learning targets, identifying what students know and are able to do throughout the course of the school year.
