On ours, which went 1-5, I think 3 indicated progressing at grade level, 4 indicated mastery of all skills expected in kindergarten, and 5 indicated beyond grade level.

I think there are a couple different cards. Ours only go to 4 also. I was also told we were one on 11 schools in this particular program, although supposedly all elementry schoold will use it in the fall. There is nothing on it regarding grade level though. It is the 'Usually achieves" or Always achieves" babble. It's pretty much impossible to figure out where your kid stands.....

Maybe I shouldn't be saying this, but my DC in FCPS kindergarten got mostly 2's out of 4s. It was explained to me that this is the end of the 2nd marking period, so that is what was measured for most of the subjects except reading, in which case I think you could get a 3 or 4 but my son is at level 2. Basically, he is on track. that's what it looks like to me too.

Happy to see discussion here. Mine got all 4s. Though she reads at grade 4 level, and does Grade 5 math at Hopkins CTY.
No subject acceleration so far, because from the report card, it's just K level.
Haven't got chance to talk to school so far, pretty disappointed at this All-in-one teaching, and Grading system.
