Academic Grading System
Our academic grading system is provided to ensure a consistent scale within every subject from 1st through 8th grade. This system includes the strengths of standards-based grading and also provides clarity about how your child is performing academically.
When you look at the performance indicators below, you will see a traditional letter grade and percentage, along with a performance-based descriptor. Rather than using the letter grades D or F at this age level, we provide a more accurate description as shown below.
Grades will be provided under your Skyward account and following are the detailed descriptors. Just click on the icon for a detailed description, and contact your child's teacher or school office with any questions.
