[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Middle of the pack" doesn't really mean anything in terms of grades b/c the children in FCPS are graded based on how they satisfied the academic expectations.  There is no longer a comparison with other kids in the class.  But, to answer your question, I would think a child who is considered "average" would be getting "3"s -- as in mostly meets the expectations, but not all the time.  A child who isn't really meeting the expectations as much as he/she should would be getting 2s and a child who is really out-to-lunch would get 1s.  A child who is meeting the standards for nearly every assignment/discussion would get 4s.

It wouldn't surprise me if 80% of a class was getting 3's and 4's on a given subject.   In that situation, I'm not sure what you would call "middle of the class."  Middle of the class in some schools might be a "4" but middle of the class at other schools might be a "2."

What's this number stuff you're prattling on about? OP was asking about the letter grade A/B/C/D/F. You know, how schools actually grade.[/quote]

You must be old.  Schools don't use letter grades any more, at least in elementary.

FCPS, which teaches the majority of kids in this part of NOVA, uses a number grading system (1 through 4)

Stupid system, but to respond to your statement, you have outdated experience.[/quote]
