[quote=Anonymous]What elementary school has letter grades and honor roll?

My kid's school gives numbered assessments that coordinate with mastery of the material (a 3 means they are working at grade level, a 4 means they are working beyond grade level and have mastered grade level concepts). There are academic awards but no "honor roll" because kids don't have GPAs and therefor there can be no top percent of a grade. They give awards for certain academic mastery or accomplishments -- reading a certain number of chapter books in the year, an award for writing for 4th and 5th graders based on essays, there are math and spelling competitions, etc. And there are also awards for progress -- kids who improve their iReady assessment scores in math and reading by a certain amount get awards.

But there's no "honor roll" and no one is randomly getting a C in 4th grade for anything. If a kid gets a 1 or a 2 in any core subject, in any grade, there are mandatory consultations with parents and kids are put on a plan for improvement, usually involving participation in an after school tutoring program.[/quote]
