[quote=Anonymous]I am on the admission committee at a local independent school and see a lot of K-8 school report cards. It seems like every school (or school system) has a different scale. Fewer and fewer seem to actually use traditional letter grades (A, B, C, etc.) or even numerical (percentage) grades. It is a sea of terms like Emerging, Developing, Exploring, Secure, Basic, Proficient, Independent, and so forth. I think DCPS uses a 1-4 scale. I have also seen scales of 1-7 or 1-10. I agree it's a bit confusing that ADW elementary schools have this grading scale if they're going to use traditional grade letters, as I tend to think of A as 90-100, B as 80-89, and so forth. But at least it's fairly easy to interpret compared to some other scales.[/quote]
