[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a new grading system at my kid's APS elementary school this year: the standards remain the same for the entire year (written at end of grade level standards), and it's possible to get a 4 for "extending" the standard. Last year, the standards changed each quarter, and grades topped out at 3. For those of you with high-performing kids, what do you expect and what do you reward under this new system? My kid got some 2s and 3s, no 4s, for first quarter. What would be the equivalent of getting straight A's (which was my goal as a kid)? [/quote] My 2nd grader got mostly 2s in and few 3s. He is pretty advanced (99% percentile in national and county from all of the tests that provide such information throughout her 1st and 2nd grade up to so far), so not sure what to make of this report card.
