Standards-based grading
Students will be graded based on their expertise in the common core standards identified for 7th grade. This means that students will be given multiple opportunities to master a standard before a final assessment grade is given. This does mean that they can replace a low grade as they improve instead of averaging each score. If the student shows clear mastery of a standard by the end of each quarter, that is the only grade that will be reflected on the report card. More information will be provided at Open House.
