[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]4 Exceeds grade level expectations
3 Meets grade level expectations
2 Approaches grade level expectations
1 Significantly below grade level

[b]You also need to know that these refer to END of grade level expectations, so don't expect 4s at the beginning of the year[/b]. [/quote] THIS!!!! Unless a student is performing a year or two ahead of grade level don't expect all 4s before the 4th term. [/quote]

+ 1.  the 'scores' aren't necessarily comparable to A, B, C - it's about relationship to how their skills based on the standards for that grade year.  They are where the kid falls on the assessment standards for that grade level with some variation.  You shouldn't 'expect' 4s until the end of the year, when the child is actually expected to meet the standards for that grade.  Most teachers still don't even give a 4 in the first term even if the kid is testing at the end of year expectation b/c there's obviously still room to grow and have progress within those standards.  If you have 2's, I'd talk to the teacher about ways to better support your kid.  If you have 3's, that means they think kid is fine and on track.  1's are a red flag, unless the teacher sounds like she messed up and should've blocked those subjects off for no score & instead put in 1s.[/quote]
