[quote=Anonymous]Yes, MCPS (along with other school districts in the area) has shifted to standards-based grading for elementary schools (K-5). Previously, K-2 got O/S/N (I think it was N), and 3-5 got letter grades. Now, the grades are P (proficient at grade-level standard), I (in progress towards proficiency), and N (not yet making progress towards proficiency), plus also ES, which doesn't stand for Extra Super, but might as well. You can read more about it here: http://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/curriculum/2.0/reportcardfaq.aspx In general, people who think that elementary students should be motivated by grades do not like standards-based grading, and people who don't particularly care about grades in elementary school are fine with it.[/quote]
